Review on 🕒 Men's 22mm Brushed Stainless Steel Watch Band - 5 Row Engineer Wristband, Heavy-Duty Double Lock Clasp, Solid Metal Silver Strap by Dru Labrado

Okay I wanted to do a fairly detailed breakdown of this belt that fits my use case. First of all, I cannot tell the difference between the pictures of this strap and the strap offered here by another seller, leading me to believe it is the same strap. To further confuse the issue, both vendors also offer another strap that looks almost identical, but I could spot a few differences, and while I don't have them around to compare, I'm pretty sure it's the a "high quality" strap is a quality version of the same design, the biggest difference is the weight (due to the thickness of the links I think) and also the quality of the clasp. Interestingly, I'm having a hard time telling the difference between this strap and another one that Strapco sells for almost double that I wonder if this is the exact same hardware but don't want to spend $60 to satisfy that suspicion, suffice it to say it's a well thought out clone if not the exact same hardware The gear was well packaged, in a box that had a nice thick zippered pocket to put it in was wrapped in shrink wrap. It seems like they put some thought into the packaging. It also came with a small flat head screwdriver for the links (the links screw in nicely) as well as a link tool. Initial quality seems high although time will tell how good the finish is. carries. It's a lovely matte matte finish with a nice polished sheen to the sides of the links. The links themselves don't appear to have any sharp edges and the tolerances between them are quite good, resulting in the band feeling very strong and not as messy as many bands in this price range. That's a big plus for this group. Feels and looks high quality. A couple of little things that won't stop me from buying this band at this price point, but which will hopefully be accounted for in the $60+ price range (and which I think can easily be addressed in this price range). There is some play at the lugs, either because the link isn't exactly 22mm long or because my Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire isn't. Incidentally, this rating is identical to the Super Engineer bracelet sold by Strapco. Do what you want with this knowledge. This harness uses traditional spring bars. That's a shame because a quick-release spring bar would be a nice addition to a watch that doubles as a sports and adventure watch as well as a watch for everyday use. I have many traditional watches to choose from, but sometimes I just want to measure my heart rate during a conference call AND take the watch with me on a mountain bike. Spring bars are not suitable for thicker spring bars. that came with my watch, smaller spring bars came instead. Haven't compared them to some of my other watches but they seem smaller than the spring bars I'm used to. And it makes me a little nervous. This review is also very reminiscent of the Super Engineer bracelet sold by Strapco. Do what you want with it again. The weather the spring bars are worried about remains to be seen. But building on that, I might swap out the tape for my silicone tape on the next mountain bike ride, as it puts a lot of strain on the handlebars and I don't want to learn a hard lesson. Which just brings me back to my concern about the lack of quick release bars, which would make this a better choice given the circumstances. Overall I like the strap. And it will look pretty good on my Victorinox Maverick chronograph if I decide it's not powerful enough for my Garmin. So I will not return. I will be keeping a close eye on the integrity of these spring bars. I took a picture so you can compare them to the factory spring bars that came with my Garmin.
