Ritche Christmas Gift Silicone Watch Bands 18mm 20mm 22mm 24mm Quick Release Rubber Watch Bands for Men, White Elephant Gifts, Stocking Stuffers For Men

The leather band on my Shinola watch wore down and broke, and I was not going to pay their prices for a new one. So I shopped around and found this one on Amazon for a good price with decent reviews, so I gave it a try. WOW. The first thing I noticed was how soft it was to the touch. It doesn't feel like rubber, like some i have had in the past. Yes, it is silicone, but it feels so comfortable to the touch. Not sticky, but almost sandblasted. Next i went to install it. First I had to remove the pins of the old band, did which I needed to get my smallest flat screwdriver, a multitool, knife... it was rather frustrating. I was prepared for the same issues with the new one. But no! It has a simple little lever on the back which retracts the pin, making installation a breeze! I was very impressed. The fit was good. I have large wrists, so there were only a few notches left for expansion. The band had a regular loop to thread the extra length thru a week as their special locking loop. The locking loop is great, it keeps the loop from sliding off of the extra length, which used to annoy me. As I didn't have much extra material, I pulled the standard loop off (not hard, quite stretchy), and just use the locking loop. I was worried about it getting sweaty and sticky under a silicone band, but that has not been a problem; maybe that sandblasted texture prevents it. I cannot speak much to the durability yet as I have only had it a couple months, but so far it has held up with no visible wear. Overall, supremely impressed. I rarely write reviews, but this product is worthy of 5 stars, across the board.

Perfect fit, very comfortable!

Note: If you are not sure what lug width you need, it should say on the back cover of your watch. I bought this watchband to replace the crap one that came with my Stranger Things Timex Camper. It is so much better than the nylon lameness that came with the watch that it would already be at four stars. The color is very nice, the quality and durability are great. Overall, I really like this strap. A big pro for me is that it has little bar pieces that allow you to install the band without tools. This makes things so much easier. I try to evaluate things both by their overall qualities, but also in comparison to similarly priced items. I have bought several cheaper watch straps for various work watches (That get beat up, so I don't want something fancy), and this is by far the best value for the money. It is nice looking, nice feeling, and comfortable all day.

I don’t hate the resin band that comes with the Casio Duro but I wanted something softer and looked higher quality. Super soft, durable, looks amazing!

I've boughten from this brand before, they make really good watch bands. The frist one i had lasted me 3 years compared to one that was more expensive that only lasted more 5 months. Ill definitely keep buying from them. Great for working outside doesnt move around a lot. Color stays bright for good amount of time.

Quick, easy, self tabs to attach and it looks rugged, it even comes with an optional wrist size.

My overall impression with this band is that it's a decent value. It's strongest attribute is that it sits pretty comfortably on the wrist. The tang buckle appears to be solid quality however the keepers leave a lot to be desired. Both are free loops which I think is bad design in my opinion. It is not easy at all to pass the strap through both loops due to 1) the limited amount of space that the loops leave for the strap to pass through and 2) not having a fixed loop. Currently I have to feed the strap through the first loop and awkwardly hold this one in place as I simultaneously try to feed the strap through the second loop. Otherwise if you don't and just try to feed the strap through the second loop, the first one will catch on the strap and push out as you are trying to push the strap through the second loop. This is just bad design to either not have the first loop be fixed or add just a smidge of extra space on the loops for the strap to more freely pass through. Also attempting to feed the strap through both loops at the same time is, at best, just as difficult due to how tight of a squeeze it is (and partially due to the second loops "locking feature" obstructing the already tight squeeze). This may not seem like a big deal, and it's really not but it's just enough of a pain in the ass for me to move on to a different strap that doesn't have this poor design issue. As for the packaging, it was pretty decent. Actually well above average packaging. It came with two different lengths of strap, one for smaller and one for larger wrists. Don't pay attention to the pictures in the listing. The colors don't actually look like what the listing picture shows. In the listing it looks like the silicone has somewhat of a shiny/glossy finish but in real life it really doesn't. The black has an incredibly dull and washed out color and couldn't even remotely be considered as being shiny/glossy. For me this wasn't really too much of an issue as I kind of expected that. When it comes to purchasing items online, the pictures are rarely ever fully representative of what the product actually looks like in person. As for durability I didn't rate that since I just received it but it doesn't feel like it is going to fall apart or have any weak points. Overall it's a decent band. The poorly designed keepers will keep this as just 3 star rating.

My Withings Steel HR fitness watch came with a silicon band that I never loved. I tried replacing it once with an aftermarket band, and was even less happy. To be clear, big fan of the watch itself. A couple weeks ago, my OEM watchband finally just gave up and tore at the pin mount end near the watch. Now, I was forced to buy yet another band and hope for the best. I tried a Barton branded silicon band, but it just didn't fit right on the watch. I then found this Ritchie with its high Amazon ratings and am now super happy. 1. The sizing is accurate - 20mm is 20mm. 2. There are two different length adjustment strips that come with the set for a total of three pieces: 1 with the buckle, a long adjustment piece with the holes, and a shorter adjustment piece for smaller wrists. I don't know that the original listing made this obvious. I do know the other bands I tried did not have this feature. 3. The fit on my wrist is superior. It is snug but not constricting. It's not as stretchy or as slippery as the OEM so there is less tendency to need to cinch it tight in order to prevent it from sliding around my wrist. 4. It looks good - I ordered the black with a gunmetal grey buckle and it matches nicely enough for me even though the finish of this one is shiny vs. brushed on the original. 5. It seems more sturdy so far. 6. One possible negative is that it does not have as many holes as the OEM and may possibly provide less ventilation. I say possibly because I the OEM was also silicon rubber and for me they both seem like they get equally sweaty on my wrist when working hard. Your experience may be different. Lastly, the packaging and overall feel of this band do not have the cheap generic vibe. It all seems of good quality. Highly recommend!
