Meliya Metal Watch Bands, 20mm 22mm Quick Release Watch Strap, Stainless Steel Mesh Replacement band for Women Men

I love this band. I bought it to enhance my new Amazfit Active 2. I prefer metal bands but was interested in this one based on its look, lighter profile, and higher adjustability than many other bands. For some reason, I became fairly picky about watch bands. Sometimes I end up trying more than one band after I buy a new watch before I feel like it fits well, functions well, and looks good with the watch. I bought this one and my search was over. Pros: - IMO looks pretty nice between a matte and gloss finish, so even in black it has a subtle but not overbearing sheen. The metal texture is very nice. Feels trivial to write but I realize I still like to just look at it every so often because it looks good. - Very breathable for metal, and I prefer it to any leather, silicone, or metal band I've used before. It's heavier than a leather, silicone, or cloth band of course, but I barely noticed it after the first day. I tend to sweat a lot so this feature is very welcome to me. - Adjustability is infinite all the way to the end of the claps, and relatively fast without needing to fuss with a metal-and-tang action or resizing kit. I didn't think this would matter to me as much as it did, but now I can't see myself ever going back to one of those actions. - The two-magnet mechanism is IMO pretty brilliant. It's well balanced to be robust and not slip, but it's not gripping so tight that it's annoying to manage. I only really notice slips if I directly snag it on something, and I'd rather the band slide slightly than damage itself, the watch, or something else. Very nicely done. - After just a bit of practice, the action is smooth and intuitive and mostly easy to get on and off. Potential cons (all conditional): - As at least one other reviewer mentioned a bigger hand might have a little trouble. I have fairly wide hands and for me, there's exactly one angle in which I can get the watch on or off, which was a relief because I like this thing so damn much. However, it may be useful to know in advance. There's (likely) plenty of room at the wrist if it fits over your hand unless you are a silverback gorilla. - Depending on where and how the clasp sits under your wrist when doing something like typing, you might find a pressure point or two. I found this didn't matter with a little adjusting for me, but worth mentioning (as would be the case with any band). - I've only been using it for a week, but I'm not sure if the black finish will wear or fade with time. I've put it through a few abuses already and it seems unaffected, but we'll see in 6-12 months. - If you like those big-faced or thick smartwatches, this one might seem a little TOO slim to you, YMMV. Solid 5/5 for me overall, especially at this price point.

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.

Nice band! Much better (IMO) than the siicone bands the smart watches I buy come with. There are 2 ways to install it. The wrong way and the right way and there are no instructions. Naturally I installed it the wrong way the first time, then figured out that there was a way to install it for easier removal from the wrist and adjustment. You want the clasp inward to the body and the loose end away from the body. Once I figured that out I replaced the silicone band on another watch with one of these. The actual installation is easy, even installing it incorrectly is easy. If one has long fingernails that might be the only tool required. I had to use a small straight blade screwdriver with my short nails and stubby fingers. The first one might take a bit to figure out how to manipulate the parts, but once figured out installation is a breeze. Just take your time and even then 5 minutes for the first installation would be a stretch. You want to adjust the band for max' length for installation. It's a handsome band, elegant in it's simplicity, practical, easy to adjust, and secure due to the strong magnets... nice band!

This band is very attractive and sturdy. I like it a lot. However, if you are a man with big hands it may be tough to get on and off as it does not separate into two sections. Also, the fit is good but it would not rotate fully on the pins of my timex. I had to grind the corners off of the arms that hold the band so it would lay flat against the wrist. After using it for a few weeks I noticed the time was off on my watch. Each time I reset it, it would lose time. Turns out the magnets on the band were interfering with the movement. I changed how I laid out the band, making it flat and keeping the magnets away from the watch body and there is no longer a problem. Also, the band does loosen up a little after a day of wearing but not enough to bother. And it’s so simple to tighten it up again.

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.

This is actually a pretty nice band. The metal "webbing" is smooth and clean. Appears to be good quality and strong. The bad has 2 magnets that keep it closed -- one on the loose end and one on in the center at the clasp. I will note that the bracelet seemed a bit big. It wraps completely around my (medium / average men's) wrist and almost touches the watch on the other side. On the plus side, that makes a very clean look. The buckle almost disappears. One other thing -- it was awkward (but not hard) to install since the two pieces of the band do not come apart. If you have fat fingers, it may take a minute to get the band onto the watch!

I purchased a similar band in the past that didnt have the locking mechanism so it kept coming loose. This one locks in place and the magnet only holds the band in place. Very happy with this purchase

I really like this band. It warms to skin temp and I don't really feel it. Also, I can type with it on and it doesn't hurt my wrists when I'm resting them on the desk. It does slowly loosen as you go about your day. A heavy watch and heavy activity accelerate this. It has 2 magnets which help a lot keeping it consistently tight longer. The price is great, it is infinitely adjustable (with a minimum and maximum limit), it doesn't snag my shirts, the black makes it vanish, installation was very easy, it matched up with my generic watch without issue. The only negative is the bracelet approach. The band never comes apart so is a closed bracelet you can only widen so much. I have big hands and it does require I open the band to the max, squish my hand to the smallest size, then push it over my thumb knuckle. Smaller hands will never notice, but this is the reason I usually go for buckle bands. Even with this, I strongly recommend giving this a try, especially if you type a lot wearing a watch.
