Review on Swatch Plastic Silicone Strap Replacement by Mark Dahmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pin keeps falling out!

I bought this replacement buckle to fit my daughter's Gizmo Pal 2 watch. The pin that holds the buckle in place kept falling out when the buckle or watch strap was stressed. We managed to find the buckle a couple of times after it fell off, but our luck didn't last long. We lost the buckle after it fell off about the 6th time. The pen was still at the end of the tape. Fortunately, this item was inexpensive. Update: I bought a new smaller 19mm buckle and used the pin from the old buckle (20mm) and it is very snug now. I doubt the buckle will break and get lost like last time!

Pros
  • Easy to replace. You can use a spring bar tool or just your fingernail to press on one end of the spring bar, which will release it.
Cons
  • Hardware Sad
