Ritche 24mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch Band Strap Straight End Solid Links Color Black

Incredible for the price for sure. This size fits the 42mm 3rd party apple watch bands in width, but unfortunately the space for the spring bars was too small for that particular use. Too bad the spring bar adapter areas are thin folded sheet metal or I could have drilled it out to work. That area was the only part I didn't like much, it felt a bit cheap. Very handsome though for the price. Seemed to scratch a bit in light use, but not too bad, and the color was a nice dark black. Very handsome for the price.

I bought this for my black 42 mm Apple Watch Sport and it looks great. The band doesn't feel cheap to me, as it's heavy and thick. Everything is jet black and, if the paint can be scratched off as some other reviews have suggested, it doesn't do so easily. I have put it through a week's use, and no scratches visible as of yet. As mentioned, I got it to work with my Apple Watch, although it took some effort. I had already purchased a third-party black leather band for my Apple Watch off of Amazon, and was hoping to use the adapters that came with that one to use with this band. Unfortunately, even though I purchased the smallest screwdriver on Amazon I could find, it was still too big for the screws, and I stripped one of them. So, I purchased another pair of adapters that came with a screwdriver (I searched for keywords: apple watch adapter screwdriver). The adapter's lugs can barely fit through the loops at the ends of this band (it make take a little bending outward of the loops to get them to fit, I just brute forced them through). The band was too big, so I watched some YouTube videos about shortening link bands (used a pushpin and a hammer to get the pins out). Took out 4 links, and the band looks great on my skinny wrist. Quite a bargain over Apple's $500 black link band.

Positives:- Very inexpensive- Considering it was shipped from China, the shipping speed was good. Came before the estimated delivery date.Cons:- Finish wears off very easily. OK for basic use (formal watch or white collar work). If you don't care about the finish then for the price it's great.- Feels light/inexpensive... which as you can see it actually is.Other thoughts... I have very large wrists and I wanted a nicer looking band for my Sony SW2. So, I bought 2 of these watch bands thinking I could remove the extra links from one and add them to the other. This worked, but a) just barely (the wrist model they used must be a tiny person) and most frustratingly b) I ordered 2 identical black watch bands and was shipped 1 black band and 1 green band. Luckily the shade of green is dark and matte like the black one, and the green links are close to the clasp so most folks wont even notice. If this were an expensive watch band or if shipping didn't take 3 weeks I would probably look for a replacement.

Bought for a Sony Smartwatch 2; fits great, wears great.Mine didn't come with the red holder or punch, but it really wasn't that hard to figure out. I used a pair of channel locks, a slingshot tube (so I wouldn't scratch the finish) and a meat fork (don't tell my wife).I've always loved metal bands on my watches, and this one is no exception. As soon as I got out of trades where they were bad ideas, I bought this one.I think I've had it for about 6 months now, no sign of pins warping (like the links getting further apart); it still snaps shut decisively, not once have I had it unclip on me when I didn't want it to. The only sign of wear really, is on the buckle where it rubs against my cell phone pouch. Considering how long I've had it, how much I wear the watch and the pouch, as well as what the band cost.... Easy to call this one a win. You need to look REAL close to see where the paint is getting thin, so it still looks nice and classy under all but the most critical of inspections.Honestly, given the price, if it fell apart on me tomorrow, I'd just buy another one just like it.

You get what you pay for. I'm using this to go with my Sony SW3. I have a custom 3D Printed watch mount and then this band. It was pretty easy to put on. I haven't had any issues with the pins coming out. Taking a couple of the links out was a big of a pain as a few pins didn't want to come out with much ease. I'm glad it came with the little tool, and block to hold it. That was really handy. The paint is starting to chip off. That's why it gets a low rating. I didn't expect a whole lot for the price I paid. It does it's job. Just not in love with it.

Bought this as a backup because it was very inexpensive. I didnt have high Hope's. But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. I bought 2 more and swapped out the bands on some of my watches

Works great! I used it on my large G Shock, it came with a "NATO" cloth band that was way too long....the problem is that G Shocks have 16 mm attachments for watchbands. I took the new metal band, used a Dremel cutoff wheel and removed 4mm from either side of both ends of the watch band, making a custom G Shock watchband that looks great on my watch for much less cost than trying to order a G Shock metal band.

BEST STAINLESS, BLACK, WATCH BAND I EVER BOUGHT! I like it enough, I bought the replacement, for when this one I just bought finally wears out. I get (usually) about 2-years out of any such band, before they simply "break". The break points are always the PINS in the clasp. They eventually "fall out" from - wear - or age - or "something". But as such bands go, this one is truly very NICE! And this one has a BETTER CLASP mechanism than all the others I've ever tried. It might last longer - I cannot say. And, it came with all the tools you need to remove a few links to re-size it properly!

First off, note that to undo the clasp you need to press the button on the side! Seems obvious now but I didn't notice at first and bent the clasp, assuming it worked the same way as my previous one.. Easy to bend back though once I'd noticed.Secondly, in order to adjust the length of this strap you'll either need to take it to a jeweller or make sure you have some thin punches and a punch block to tap out the pins fastening the links closest to the clasp, they don't clip in and out, they have to be punched out and tapped back in again. Tap it out from the side that doesn't have the strap-coloured head on it.It came with standard spring pins of the right length to attach it to a watch.One star off for needing the punch to adjust. You can buy kits to do it on Amazon for a few pounds. Search for "watch tool kit".This was bought to replace the rubber strap on my Sony Smartwatch 2, it seems to be a popular replacement for the Sony strap, it fits well and is a good match for the watch colour.

Lightweight, with nice finish and, once adjusted, fits very nicely. The pins and a tool for shortening it are nice touches. The process of removing the links is non-trivial, but can be done, with the help of a mini screwdriver and/or a sharp blade, like a scalpel in my case. Make sure you do it on some soft surface, to avoid scratching the bracelet - I used the bubble wrap that the whole thing came in. I was a bit worried about scratches showing up on the black finish, but it's been OK so far. Not sure how it compares to a genuine Sony item, but it seems like good value for money.

I would like to start by saying that i do like this strap, i bought it to replace the stock one that came with my Sony Smartwatch 2 and it was a nice replacement as it matched the color of the watch as well as it felt quite a bit nicer than the rubber one that i got with the watch.However i did come across a few things i didn't like as much about the strap.When it came it was rather big for my (and i feel most wrists) but i guess better too big than too small, but to adjust the size is not as easy as i would like.The fact that the entire thing is held together by a few pins sticking through each part means that after a while of wearing it and it moving around on my wrist these joints had become a little loose and this caused the pins that hold it together to start wiggling out of the strap. I resolved this by taking every pin out of the watch and applying a small amount of glue to each hole then reassembling the entire thing. I had no more problems after i had done this but i feel if i had worn it long enough i would have the same problem again.

to start with the watch strap look great when it was delivered so I went to Timpsons to get the watch band fitted which cost me £6.99 but that was ok what is not ok is that ather just 3 days of wearing my watch the strap broken and i nearly lost my Sony Smartwatch when it fell off my arm so yes i can get a refund for the watch band but i am still left £6.99 out of pocket plus when the watch band broke and my watch fell off my watch was damiged

This is a really solid, well made watch bracelet, chunky and attractive . It's my third purchase of these bracelets ( the other two were finished in brushed stainless rather than ion plated and different widths) and I'll probably buy several more by year's end . They are great value and compare very favourably with much more expensive alternatives - and they look really good on the wrist .
