    Very complicated. Hard to remove links and one of the clasps is very loose so it constantly falls off my hand.. I would return but I kept too long before trying out due to buying multiple wristbands

    I tried to like this watch band. The clasp doesn’t stay locked in place and it’s difficult to latch. I almost had the watch fall off a few times because the latch came undone with a gentle bump.

    Does not look as good on as expected. The clasp mechanism is too easily opened accidentally. Has a nice tool to remove pins fro links on band, however once they are reinserted they have a tendency to come back out on their own. Looks like this one won't last too long

    The clasp is in the perfect position so when you bend your wrist it the band unfastens and slides right off your wrist. It’s so irritating, so I returned it,

    Like the look of it but after purchasing and wearing it, the clasps would get squeezed whenever my hand bent just a little bit causing the whole thing to loosen and almost fall off my wrist. I thought maybe it was a one time thing and over the next two days it kept happening over and over. I ended up throwing it away

    I don’t care for this band too much. It is a bit stiff (not like a regular watch band). It pinched a bit. Will use to dress up the watch from time to time. Wouldn’t purchase again.

    The band was too big ( long ) for my wrist. It came with a special tool that was supposed to remove an individual link as needed. Well the tool broke, and the link was left hanging off the tool. I could not remove the broken part that was holding the tool. I took it to a jeweler, who said he could not remove the link with the hanging tool attached. Ultimately, I had to throw the band and the broken tool into the garbage. I lost the money I paid for the band.

    The tool that is used to remove the individual pins broke and I was unable to remove any other pins to make my band smaller. I am currently not using the band since it is too big.

    This was an open box purchase and my assumption was maybe the person didn’t like how it adds weight unlike a nylon strap. So after having it on for less than a few hours it starts getting unlocked. The latch release is definitely the problem. After the second day, it was popping of more than a kindergartener’s mouth when asking “why” .
