Screw Fit, Leather Replacement Watch Band for Skagen Watches, 5 Colors

This is a great watch band and is easy to install, but the screws are tiny so you'll need a small screwdriver and good eyesight. It's attractive and fit perfectly. I wish they were cheaper as they wear out in about a year. This is the third one I've purchased.

This is a very good Skagen replacement leather band. There are no screw holes but you can screw them right into the leather. You must supply your own screws, perhaps the old ones that you have.

I'm a big fan of Skagen and Obaku watches because they are thin and I have small wrists. Many of those watches use watchbands which are held on by screws rather than the traditional spring-loaded pin. This makes finding replacement bands difficult, since the band must have just the right size and shape of flange to insert into the watch body far enough for the screws to penetrate but not leave any of the flange exposed so it looks bad. The problem with the Skagen bands which came with my watches is they basically wrap the leather around a thin metal plate with screw holes in it. Eventually the metal plate tears through the leather from the constant pulling on the watch band and there is no option but to replace the band. The great thing about these bands is they do indeed fit properly (they have the Skagen logo on them, so I assume they are made by Skagen), so I should just be happy I can get a band that fits. However I would also offer the following comments: These bands do not have the metal plate, so the screws in the watch body just screw through the leather as you tighten them. Whether this is more, or less, prone to failure than the bands with the metal plate remains to be seen. A lot of Skagen leather bands are very distinctive, with attractive textures and colors. While not unattractive, these replacement bands have minimal texture and rather generic colors. I had to settle for a band which was much lighter in color and smoother than my original (sort of cordovan, highly textured) band as these bands are basically limited to "tan" (very light), "dark tan" (light) and "brown (very dark). It still beats not being able to wear the watch!

Needed a replacement watch band for my Skagen model 856XLSLC, which has screw-type connection. I ordered a 26mm size based on the width of the original band, and the delivery was on time from Amazon. The replacement kit contained a band set and a screw driver with screws for attaching the band to the watch. The width of the replacement band was slightly larger than the attachment slot, so the edges were trimmed by about 0.5 mm on both sides to fit inside the slot. The screws went in easily and the band was secured to the watch. This replacement band material is more flexible than the original band, which makes it easier to put on the wrist. I like it better than the original.

I searched for weeks for a band to fit my favorite Skagen watch. This band fit nicely on a Skagen women’s watch that required a band that screwed in to attach to the watch face. The most difficult part of the process was to determine the correct size. If you take the watch to a jeweler, they can measure the size you need in millimeters. If you have a small enough Phillips screwdriver, you can attach it yourself. If not, a jeweler can attach it for you. Band is very soft, nice leather.

Excellent Quality and perfect fit. Came really fast. its exactly the same as the original Skagen strap which I was having a problem finding anywhere. I never understood why Skagen does not have these replacement straps. Of course the installation requires the very small screws (but that is Skagen design). Do yourself a favor and get a very small screw driver with magnetic tip. That will make the installation easy. Will buy these again as I have several Skagen watches.

The band fits and feels like the original band which is good, BUT I should’ve read the description better. The original band was a 30mm at the face but got skinnier at the hasp or buckle. This being wide the whole way around makes the watch feel clunkier than the original intent of the band. It was hard to find a good description of the bands on the site.

I was trying to order straps for a Bering brand watch. Apparently they are very similar to Skagen watches. Installing the new straps was pretty easy. At first I imagined I would have to punch holes in the strap but, no. Just drive the screws right through the leather. Easy. I would have replaced the new Skagen buckle with the old Bering buckle because it had ‘Bering’ etched on it. But the old buckle was too wide by about a millimeter. So the Skagen strap narrows at the buckle a little more than the Bering strap. Nevertheless, the new straps look like they are made for the watch. It looks brand new now.

Very good fit needed a small screwdriver

Like it. Hope if this would come with fitting screws as well.

Il s'agit juste de bien prendre la mesure et le tour est joué. Beau produit et facile à installer.

I was delighted to be able to replace the original worn-out strap on my late husband's Skagen watch. The strap is no longer sold by the company so I was very happy to buy this one. It's of excellent quality and complements the watch better than the original strap.

Watch strap was easy to fit, provided you have the necessary small screwdriver and really looks the part. Fully recommended.
