I get compliments on my watch all the time with this band. It's very sparkly. Mine has a slight flaw as if some of the stones may have fallen off and were glued back on or it was all globbed in one little spot, but it didn't bother me enough to return it and I'm usually very picky. I love it. It fits great. I like my watch band loose so I didn't take out any of the links. They are very easily removable, no pins or tools needed.
