Ritche Silicone Watch Bands 18mm 20mm 22mm Quick Release Rubber Watch Bands for Men Women

I am a purchasing consumer, this review is not based on a free review sample.I have been using it on an Amazfit stratos GPS tracking sport watch. I wear it 24/7, because it has a sleep tracker and pedometer. I only take it off for the shower and about an hour every 4-5 days to re-charge the battery. Despite wearing it nearly around the clock, this strap has been very comfortable. So please keep in mind my impressions are based on what is most likely a different usage than most, with day-night continual wearing.I have 35+ watches in my collection, about half of which accept the 22mm standard width. This sport-strap fits great on all of them. Its one of my favorites for looks and comfort. The lug width is 22mm, but it has a gradual taper down to 20mm. I would *slightly* prefer a full 22mm width, without the taper... but its not a deal breaker, and certainly not worth taking off a star for that. If anything the taper does add some comfort on hot muggy days, so again its not really a negative.Really like the strap keepers, and how the last one stays locked onto the end hole. As a 24/7 wear device this is excellent. The silver stainless brushed buckle is nicely done, smooth and contoured edges. I like the subtle waffle pattern too, it looks nice and is not so deep that it entraps dust and dirt. Despite being silicone, its easy to wipe clean.This is actually 1.5 straps in one "kit". It comes with 3 pieces, so you can pick whichever two pieces fit your wrist circumference. My wrist is about 7.5 inches around, wide flat and bony shape. I use the longer setup and use the 5th to the last buckle hole. The small setup is too short for my preference.The straps are actually pre-curved to shape. This is what I like most. Un-curved / straight silicone straps tend to feel a little tight on my 63mm wide wrists. The pre-shaped curve on these straps gives the watch a very relaxed fit and feel. Without having to wear the watch loose and floppy... which I like.Note the amazon pictures make the strap material appear semi-glossy... like a urethane dive watch strap. That is not the case at all. The silicone has a VERY dull-matte, charcoal look. See my picture from my day-hike.I will probably pick up the orange and red accented ones soon too.

First I want to apoloize for all the fuzzies on the watches and bands. I probably shouldn't have taken the pics on a throw blanket. :-( As you can see in the photos, I have these wonderful rubber watch bands (20 mm) on 3 of my watches (Seiko Sumo Hulk, Citizen Fugu Pepsi and Citizen Night Hawk). Compared to the Barton rubber bands, which are good bands too, these are much better. These are very soft and very flexible. What I love the most about these is the fact that you get 2 different length straps (the side with the holes) to accommodate smaller wrists like mine (6.75" diameter) to wrists up to 8.5". The cross hatch finish gives these a nice finished look that makes the watch stand out. I highly recommend these and assure you that you won't be disappointed.

Pros:1. comes with 2 different lengths of bands and a spring tool. The larger one fits perfect on my 8" wrist.2. Looks amazing on my G Shock with blue accents.3. Easy to clean4. Dries quickly (perfect for swimming)5. ComfortableCons:1. Tucking the tail into the keepers isn't as quick as I'd like.2. Sweat builds up under the band3. Collects dirt and dust pretty easilyThe pros outweigh the cons and this band is ideal for my G Shock which I typically use in wet, dirty, and abusive environments. It compliments the watch well for the scenarios I put it in. Would I want to wear this to work in an office setting? No, the sweat under the band would be too bothersome. Would I wear it camping, swimming, fishing, snowboarding? Yes, if I'm getting wet or grimy already then this is the perfect strap, especially with how easy it cleans up and how quickly you can dry it off. I may end up taking one of the keepers off the band and just tuck the tail under the one instead of trying to thread the tail all the way through both of them. I'm very impressed with this product and will most likely be purchasing a leather NATO and canvas band in the future.

I already own a canvas and leather RitcheBand, and this was my first silicone purchase from them.Pros:-the comfort of all the bands are well above average.-the quick release and attach pin make them easily interchangeable between watches.-RitcheBands includes an extra, larger strap with their silicone bands for those with larger wrists. I personally didn’t need it, but found the addition thoughtful.Cons:-More of a disclaimer; I’ve only owned them all for a month or two (other than the silicone), so I’m unsure how long they will hold up to regular wear, but at the price point I’m not too worried about that.Having now own one of each main type (leather, canvas, silicone), I can easily say this is my favorite watch band manufacturer. The comfort, looks, and ease of changing out makes them a clear winner for me. Highly recommended and will be purchasing more.

So i have now had this band for 2 weeks. First thing i noticed when opening is the quality, ther are alot of silicone bands i have owned and they all feel rather cheap. This band feels like it is worth much more then its cost. Second is it came with 2 lengths for the band for larger or smaller wrists. This was a HUGE plus for me as sometimes silicone bands are a bit small. Next is an awesome slot system in the band itself to hold the extra band in place, ive never seen this before on a band.I have only had it for 2 weeks and already feel that this band will last a long time. I have taken it in the ocean and even a small scuba diving trip.All in all i love this band and will be purchasing many more bands from Ritche.
