MeliyaMetal Watch Bands, 20mm 22mm Quick Release Watch Strap, Stainless Steel Mesh Replacement band for Women Men
P**.
Works great, looks great.
I bought a used Skagen dress watch with a cloth band and wanted to upgrade to something more stylish and original looking. This strap was inexpensive and I liked the woven metal design. I am very pleased with it. It snapped right in place on the watch with the quick release pins, no problem. It could not be easier to use. It's kind of like a backpack strap. Just lift the loose end of the strap away from your wrist to release the buckle/clasp/whatever you call it, pull on the strap to adjust the length, and then lower it back down to your wrist. The clasp fastens automatically with a magnet, and another magnet holds the loose end of the strap in place. It holds firmly with no slip. I mean, it's not going anywhere under normal use. Another nice feature is that the strap loosens but does not separate completely like a buckle, so it can't fall off or be removed by a street magician. It has to slide off over your hand. Also you don't have to thread a buckle to put it on. This would be great for someone with impaired dexterity. You only need to be able to pinch the end of the strap to put it on. Removal is also easy. Lift the top strap and pinch the bottom strap close to the clasp to hold it open while pulling the strap open. Edit: I can confirm what other users have reported. The magnet did interfere with my watch. Now when I take it off, I open the strap fully and place the watch on its side, so the band forms an open ring and the magnet is not against the back of the watch, and that has solved the problem.

Surprisingly strong magnets
This is probably one of the best watch bands I've ever purchased. Great price, easy to adjust, overall very high quality. The magnets are a bit excessive in strength. It's a watch band, they don't need to be that strong. Just strong enough to stay put. You have to know what you're doing to get the watch off to remove it quickly. There is an adjustment period to get used to it, but once you are it is very easy to remove.

Seems durable, room for improvement
I am using this band with a Garmin Forerunner 645 Music.Pros:- It’s definitely more durable than another similarly priced metal watch band I previously purchased on Amazon. This was a pleasant surprise, since I assumed they were the same item being sold by different storefronts.- The magnetic closure makes adjustments and on/off quicker and easier. It’s also easier to get just the right length for your wrist in comparison to other closure styles. The magnet is strong and seems to stay in place well.- The color is nice and it looks prettier than the black band my watch came with.- Initially, it feels lighter and more comfortable than silicone/plastic bands.- I’ve worn it in the shower and on runs and it hasn’t rusted or degraded.Cons:- After longer periods of wear, it starts to feel like it’s rubbing or chafing my skin a bit and can be uncomfortable.- It is very easy to lose the pins when not in use or while installing, as they aren’t connected to the band and they are very small. Exercise caution during install and store in a closed container or plastic bag.- The mesh can occasionally snag fabric but it’s pretty smooth and this isn’t very common. Be careful with really delicate fabrics.Because it starts to chafe after wearing it for a long time, I use it when I want my watch to look nicer but I don’t typically use it for daily wear.

True to color, great quality for price
Got this band in Champagne, and the color matches exactly as shown in the description (shows up as more gold-toned in my photo). Got it to go with my Galaxy Watch 7 in Cream and the color doesn't match exactly, but that's only because the watch is more silver than cream unfortunately.My wrist is 5.5" and it juuust fits with the strap pulled all the way up. A wrist any smaller would probably be too loose.The band looks more expensive than it is and it's comfortable and smooth. The magnets are strong and secure too, and allow easy removal/adjustment.

Nice, with caveats.
First the good: Well made, great value, very comfortable. The design looks like you're wearing a mesh stainless steel NATO strap, which is very nice looking. The magnets work well, the edges aren't sharp (won't snag on your fine clothing), great adjustability, and I haven't notice any negative effects on the mechanical movement of my watch. Here's the bad: Photo description does NOT match what was received. The 20mm width is more like 19.5mm. The protrusions just below the pins mean that you cannot fit it into a watch that has lug holes close to the case. This strap did not fit my JLC Reverso or my Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Essentially, the protrusions would hit the top of the watch lugs. I would recommend this strap, but for the design flaw. You're taking the risk of having to return it.

Love the band. So much better than the plastic one my watch came with. Easy to adjust with magnetic clasps. Looks clean and stays. Sweat free.
