Review on JBR Stainless Replacement Butterfly Accessories by Rebecca Vattikuti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap clamps but excellent build quality.

I've been using this silver and white ceramic bracelet for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. Installation was easy as the tools were included, although special hand-oriented tools deserve a special mention here, rather than the larger and clunkier desktop tools. The mounting pins for the links themselves are nothing more than plain wire, with no visible locking mechanism such as knurling to increase friction during installation. This bothered me at first, but in practice it doesn't bother me due to the flexibility of the links themselves. Unlike most link shapes, they have lots of rounded edges and can rotate easily around all three axes, resulting in a much more comfortable fit (especially when worn snugly, which I prefer) that doesn't settle into odd positions like yours Skin digs in when typing on a hard desktop. This also explains why the adjustment pins aren't a problem, as they flex into more natural positions after wearing the watch for a short while and don't want to naturally loosen. I suppose removing sagged/bent pins would be a nightmare, but really, who would ever need to do that? Please note that ceramic will scratch because although it is real ceramic, it is not one of the hard and light super materials. the ones you expect on the box of a phone or something. In terms of strength, they are closer to enameled glass and will wear out accordingly. The metal connection components are solid stainless steel and don't go anywhere. While the ceramic shows a hint of wear in heavily used areas (for me as a typist, at the bottom next to the clasp), it's not very noticeable. deep because the steel engages quickly. You can also buy enamel repair markers and repair them by filling in scratches with enamel glass. I've done it once so far and haven't seen any visual issues, nor have I seen any scratches coming back, so it's certainly an easy fix. The strap is surprisingly light. I changed the join from extremely light walnut wood and it was barely noticeable. It's heavier than a wooden strap, but the flexibility makes it less noticeable, so I actually think it's a bit of an ultra-light strap. It weighs about the same as some thicker silicone sport bands (Burton brand?) for reference, while staying lower and not sticking to your skin like silicone and wood. This is a quality, lightweight bracelet well worth the extra price compared to cheaper alternatives.
