Review on Seiko Jubilee Style 22mm Stainless Steel: Sleek and Sturdy Watch Strap for a Timeless Look by Jason Hutchinson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

I was a bit hesitant to purchase this bracelet due to various negative reviews. Everyone has the right to their opinion. But anyone who scolds this bracelet and gives it 1 star is wrong! If someone is trying to say that there are better third-party bracelets, that may be true, but you're paying twice what this bracelet is worth. Some complain about the chime assembly, but this is an anniversary bracelet. What they miss is that the bracelet is very comfortable. It just wraps around your wrist and you forget it's there. The processing quality is very good. It is a combination of solid and folded links. Yes, the clasp is stamped metal, but it's thick and heavy and doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Fit and finish are excellent. Let me highlight the compliance aspect. The studs perfectly match your SKX007/009/A35/173 (etc) for a classic look. The only downside I have is that the clasp doesn't have a spring lock. If it's new, you should gently pry it off with your thumbnail until it loosens/wears a bit. I looked and considered all the options and concluded that at around $30 this is a bargain. There is nothing better. After buying one, I liked it so much I bought two more. One for the other SKX and the other for the customization project. One final consideration: the strap was made for SKX, making it Seiko's definitive classic dive watch. a look that effortlessly crosses the line between sports, business and instrument watches. This is the winner!
