Well kids, this is the first watch band my old butt has ever purchased. My eyes aren't that great, and my hands are a bit arthritic. This is the first watch band I ever installed. Excuse my dry hand in the photos.It. Was. EASY.The band came with couple of tools and extra pins. It also came with extra pokey heads for the link remover!With my eyes and hands, the hardest part was putting the band on the watch. My wife and I laughed when the spring pins shot out and "it went PEW!" Only took a couple of tries though, fingernails help. They are TINY and I had to use magnifying glasses because of my eyes. Others should have no problems, it should be easy for you.The watch I put it on was a smart watch so it needs to be close to my wrist. I have big wrists at 222.5mm, so I had to remove a couple links. That's 8.75 inches around by the way. The band I bought was the 22mm/230mm band.This was so easy! Placed the watch in the little tool, lined the pin in the links up, and screwed the tool down. Pin came out like a charm! It took 3 pins to remove 2 links. They came right out, the links came right off!Putting the band back together after was even easier! Lined up the links and the holes, pushed a pin in with a finger, then used the tool to tamp it down flush with the band. Voila!Folks, this band is nice and heavy and has a very expensive look and feel to it. The coating doesn't rub off even when I got it wet. It's silky smooth to the touch. The clip is easy to put on and remove, and is very secure. I thought it would snag my wrist hairs, but not so far. I sleep with the watch on to track my sleep, and no issues there either.The packaging was absolutely no frustration. I cannot recommend this band enough. Just....wow.I love it, pure and simple.

This is my second order, and there will be more. The band is a beautiful matte black top and bottom and the sides are polished black. It has a very substantial heft which I find awesome. The links are solid not folded so they don't bite the hair on your arms like Seiko type. The clasp is very nice, all black, 3-point micro adjust with a foldover safety clasp and two side-release buttons - again Nice! I have attached photos, the left two are this bracelet in 26mm, and the right is from the watch mfg. which was an add'l $150+. The only real difference besides size and weight is the curved connection point vs the straight bar on the left two watches. As far as I know, this is only available in straight bars, but it's really not bad IMO.. Also, a surprisingly nice touch is a nice bonus, the band is in a thick plastic container, with 4 band pins ( I actually needed an extra as it shot across the room- I know, wear an apron tucked into the table, but we are always in a hurry aren't we? - they already thought of this!), and a removal tool ...even included a band adjustment/pin removal tool - impressive & very nice touch! For the money, this is a no-brainer if you like the big hefty engineer's type bracelet - Highly recommended!!

So far product is awesome!The main downside is that the 22 mm width and the Samsung Gear S3 width are a little off. The band tends to move around a little. So the band is more 21 mm than 22 mm...Design is great, feel on wrist is good, (a little heavier than most), and the double lock mechanism doesn't feel cheap. Only time will tell on the black paint rubbing off. Hopefully the pins holding the lock system are not junk like other brands.

Excellent band!I bought a new Citizen watch, ( Citizen Men's BU2013-08E Eco-Drive Gold-Tone Watch with Brown Leather Band ). I had a budget to maintain in my watchband search but I didn’t want to get too ‘thrifty’.The Citizen deserved more than a $10 band but I had to apply a budget of $20 to $30 because I went about $50.00 over budget on the watch. That ‘filtered’ the remaining choices I had and it came down to about three bands left to pick from.The Kai Tian “Brushed Stainless Steel Watch Band” had a dual locking clasp mechanism and I liked the look of the smaller width in the link segments. I’ve always had wide link segments, (not to be confused with the ‘breath’ of the band, which is, 21.94 mm, (.864”), and I must say that the narrow link segments seemed like they would be more comfortable.Well, I bought the Kai Tian in a black finish and found that I was right, (for a change)! I bought the 22mm length and found that the smaller link segments meant I had to remove more links to get the right fit!I was able to adjust it to a comfortable size but I had to remove three links. If they were the wider link segments that I’ve always had before, I know I would only need to remove one or two links for the same fit.If I had to order this band again, I’d order it in a 20 or 18mm length. It’s something you should consider if you’re use to wider link segments like I was.The fit was nice and more comfortable than the wider link bands and the fact is, I would buy this band again in a heartbeat, no doubt about it.This Kai Tian band was perfectly anodized in black (and wasn’t done in that ‘costume jewelry’, high gloss). It’s a high quality job, too! I worked in manufacturing for many years and the anodizing process Kai Tian used is among the best I’ve seen (a lot like a ‘gun-blue’, but in black). It’s not one of the ‘paint-jobs’ that flake off after a few weeks.I can go on but the fact is this watch was perfect for the Citizen I bought. It’s the first black, stainless steel, band I ever owned. It went very well with the Citizen’s polished gold body and black face.Thirty seconds after I put it on, I knew that this was definitely the color that worked best for that watch, (at least, as far as I’m concerned).If you’re trying to decide on the uncolored or black color band, I suggest you look at the Citizen watch that I linked above. If you have a similar style and color scheme in your watch, go for the black version, I think many would find it a good choice.Either way, be it black or uncolored, the Kai Tian watchband is definitely a great bang for the buck! It can go along side any band costing 3 times more and aesthetically speaking, I doubt the difference would be spotted.Definitely a great band, 5-Stars!Rich
