“I’ve tried other watch bands & returned them. This one is definitely a keeper. I also purchased the canvas quick release watch band. The are both very well made, fit perfectly & look very nice.”
“I ordered this from Mexico and it only took about 2 weeks to arrive, they fit perfectly and quality is incredible, I fitted them to an Orient Ray 2 and looks stunning. Got two of them. Hopefully I'll be getting more bands from you guys, and quick release makes it even better. Keep it like that.”
“I bought this band to replace my leather band to one that is more usable on a day to day basis. It fits really well, quality is great, and it really compliments my daily watch.”
“I have a particular problem shopping for a replacement strap for my Citizen Eco-Drive Blue Angels Leather watch - A non-universal 23mm lug, that is curved! The blue/yellow leather strap it came with did not last long before the yellow on the underside started to transfer onto my wrist. Plus the leather itself started to crack a few months after I bought it.
So, I needed a replacement that WASN'T the OEM from Citizen. I soon realized how difficult it would be to replace it and the internet basically concluded that the only option would be the wrap around nylon straps. I bought a 4-pack online and although it fits well enough I am not a particular fan of the nylon strap.
Ended up trying this Elite Silicone one but I knew I would have to try taking out the quick release pin for the curved one. Not difficult and neither the pin or the holes in the strap broke. Maybe took 5 minutes because I was trying to be delicate after reading some negative reviews about the quality of the QR pins and the silicone itself. I did not find that to be the case.
In short, this worked great but there is one thing to note:
when putting on the straps you need to make sure the straps are turned in as the silicone is not curved. You won't be able to out the strap on if the are flat or flush to the watch face. You need to turn in (as if you were about to put it on). Added some pictures (which I would have found extremely helpful so, you're welcome).”
