Classic expander bracelet but difficult to shrink

My husband loves to wear watches and loves the convenience of expander bracelets. I asked him to try the Gilden Expansion unisex bracelet 18-22mm with curved stainless steel end. He liked the classic look of the stainless steel bracelet. He particularly liked the curved ends, which he thinks look better with his rounded watch cases than straight-ended straps. After resizing, the watch strap feels comfortable on the wrist and is very easy to put on and take off. Overall, he really likes thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brilliantly finished
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Elastic straps just aren't for me

I have a 22mm wide watch and it says it fits 18-22mm but they do it with spring loaded wings that stick out. I didn't like that the strap is 18mm wide. On my 43mm watch with a 22mm lug width, the 18mm strap just looked appalling. The band was originally too long to wear, so I removed some of the links. I couldn't have done this without the video, so I'm grateful it was available. The video said you wouldn't be able to see where the links were removed, but I could make out where I bent the metal

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Worst watch related experience.

Well, maybe not the worst, but it's in the top 5! First off, if you're determined to get one of these and haven't measured them often, plan on investing another $25, time, and travel to go to a jeweler to have this monster measured. That is the point. I've sized solid and hollow link bracelets myself and modified my own watch with new dials, hands etc and it was one of the most annoying things I've ever done watch related. I checked out Gilden's YouTube video and while it didn't look easy, itโ€ฆ
