iStrap Stainless Steel Deployment Clasp Buckle Fasten Gold Black Silver Rose Gold Watchband Clasp 16mm 18mm 20mm 22mm

Absolutely perfect for intended use. Way to install, nice fit and finish. Great price.

Great quality, and fit. I’ve got smaller wrists and have an issue with straps fitting. Normally the hole I use lets my watches rotate further than I’d like them to on my wrists. Got one of these clasps randomly just to try and it eliminates that rotation I found to be annoying prior. Wore it all day and like it so much I ordered one for each watch with a leather strap in my box of 12.

There are several deployant clasps like this out there on Amazon, and this is probably the best machined one I've seen of this style. However, it is sharply curved and its buttons are narrow, which makes it dig into your wrist during wear. This was a source of discomfort for me and I have ended up using another version of this clasp that is flatter and has wider buttons.

I’ve been into watches since I was a teenager and noticed that leather watch straps seemed to wear out very quickly. It was frustrating because not long after installing a new one the leather would start separating. Perhaps it was just a poor quality strap but I also noticed similar wear and tear on leather belts after a while. It didn’t matter if the leather is sewn, bonded or one single piece. They all eventually started to wear out.Once I started getting into higher end watches I noticed that many of them came with clasps like these. Unfortunately most of the watches I’ve purchased had the standard pin/tang buckle that everyone is familiar with. Bending the strap to put it on and take it off wears the leather out quickly. Using a clasp like this helps avoid that because you no longer need to bend it. I wish more watches came with these as standard equipment because they help prevent the wear and tear a leather strap typically sees.I’m surprised that there are so many negative reviews of this product. I’ve purchased three and have had no issues with the quality. I’m fact, they are better than the two Hadley Roma clasps I purchased from Amazon several years ago, and those cost three times as much.This one seems to be finished much nicer than the Hadley Roma clasp and this one comes with extra spring bars and a tool to remove them. I have purchased two of the polished stainless steel clasps as well as a black PVD clasp and and been very happy with the quality.One thing you need to remember about these is that you need to measure the strap with at the buckle and not at the lugs. Most straps taper a bit. In my observations a 20mm (lug width) strap requires an 18mm clasp, and an 18mm (lug width) strap requires a 16mm clasp. Measure yours to be sure if the correct size.

Something doesn't have to be cheap just because it is inexpensive. However, if you are desiring or expecting a deployment clasp similar to what comes on a Swiss watch, you should look elsewhere. Sadly, this item is both inexpensive and cheap. All of the hinged joints are loose and wobbly. My Tissot deployment clasp is made with tightly fitting components that do not wobble on their hinges. Its movement deploys around a single axis with no side-to-side free play. This one does not. It is made of much thinner material and has much looser tolerances between parts. I'm not sure why I expected a sub-fifteen-dollar deployment clasp to match the quality of my Tissot, but I guess I really didn't think about what could make a deployment clasp feel good or feel cheap, which is why I'm hoping this review might help you think about it. This one definitely feels cheap. It fits and functions properly (so far) but doesn't have a premium feel to it at all. Just a warning.

I wanted an accessory that would definitely give my watch a different personality than the classic buckle that I used to use, I think the construction is very decent for the main function it has, I mean the leather strap is less compromised to the moment of bending to fit on your wrist this is something that I definitely appreciate, I like the feeling of comfort it has on the wrist, the closing mechanism is something that I have to highlight simple but very solid as it provides firmness and security when closing both sides you hear a very good CLICK !! It ensures perfect, I have deliberately tried to try to force the mechanism to simulate scenarios in which it could be compromised to be accidentally opened and fortunately the closing mechanism has not disappointed me, for the moment it has endured more than a simple day, I have listened to Several subjects mention that this type of butterfly-style buckle is more exclusive to wear in situations of presence and luxury and is not advisable in sports or activities that require a more demanding use, but in my case it is not the option personally I like them resistant and sober things I will tell you that I use my watch in all circumstances and this butterfly-style buckle has given me very good impressions, it is simple but very rough, it keeps my partner (Watch) in place at all times I suppose it is of more to mention that when opening the mechanism it works fast and without false hooks, without complications.The chrome finish pleases me although as time goes by I am afraid that it will leave me one or more marks of war it would not bother me it is part of the look that things in chrome finish tend to have also from my point of view the battle scars provide character to the things but it is only my humble opinion each individual with his own.

I have bought several iStrap butterfly clasps in different sizes (18mm and 20mm) and colors (silver, black, rose gold). The build quality is consistently impressive. The clasp feels sturdy and secure with very little play on the joints. It has a spring action when opening and tactile click when closing. The finish is smooth on the entire clasp, and free of blemishes and irritating sharp edges. Its low profile design does not add bulk to the wrist. It is offered in silver, gold, rose gold, and black. I just wish they also have a brushed/satin finish option.
