Review on CIVO Authentic Leather Watch Strap Buckle by Nick Whitman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT value for money and easy to use kit. Just note that bandwidth options are more limited than pictured (more info)

Well worth the price. The band itself looks beautiful and even though it lasts 6 months it's worth it. However, the fact that it also comes with more than one set of spring bars and a tool to help remove old bars makes it a great value. My only (minor) issue is that the bandwidth is more limited than advertised. I needed a width of 24mm. It seems that straps only come in a few sizes, while spring bars come in a wider range. So for example if you want a width of 24mm you will get 4 bars of 22mm and 4 bars of 24mm but the strip itself is 22mm long. Still a good deal for the price but I wanted others to know. UPDATE: As it turns out, the wands included in the kit don't have a very strong spring mechanism and fall out of the watch very easily. They last about a week or two before I bump the watch into something and the pin falls out and is lost. Since buying this I have lost all 4 spare pens that come with the kit. The spring mechanism inside the bar doesn't need to be very strong. Reduced rating from 5 to 3 stars
