ALPINE Sporty Smooth Silicone Stitched Watch Band - Replacement Rubber Watch Bands - Quick Release Waterproof Watch Straps for Women & Men - Compatible with Regular & Smart Watch Bands

I was looking for a strap that I could switch up with a silver mesh bracelet for my Vostok Amphibia. I thought I would give this a try as it kind of looks like leather but the silicone was attractive because of the water resistance. The quality of this is very good! The quick release spring bars seem solid and it fits perfect. I saw a couple comments that the band feels "funny" as if it's coated in something....but it's silicone! I assumed it would feel rubbery or something. It does not bother me at all. Very comfortable to wear and I like that the buckle is brushed so it could fit in with polished or brushed watch finishes. The keepers (both of them) stay in place and do not slide around the strap like some other bands I've tried. My wrist is about 7 1/4" and the buckle sits right in the middle of my wrist on the underside. My preference would have been to make the buckle strap about 5mm longer and the longer strap side 5mm shorter so that the buckle would be just off to the side so when my wrist is close to my laptop it would reduce any scratching....but that's just being a bit picky. Overall, I would definitely recommend it if you want a leather looking band with the advantages silicone can offer.

It's an absolutely beautiful watch strap. The red pops out and gives a wonderful contrast. It took me less than 2 minutes to unsnap the old strap and snap on this new one. Upon looking at it, I was amazed. This watch used to have a very boring strap and I never wore it.

I really like this band, it’s very sharp looking and super comfortable. My only hesitation is it is a bit of a “dust/lint” magnet. It does wipe clean. I will definitely be buying another color. Great easy way to change up a watch.

This is the third one I have purchased. I really like these straps. They are soft and comfortable. The colored stitching adds just enough “bling” for my taste. Very well made.

I bought a Seiko SNZH57 with the intention of modding it into a Fifty-Five Fathoms. I decided upon receiving the watch that I liked the Seiko dial so much that I never did the mod, but I did put a sailcloth/leather strap on it and have worn it that way ever since. The original strap I bought was a Brady-Straps model, but I just received this new silicone strap in the mail today and I LOVE IT!!! The Brady-Strap cost three times as much as this strap, plus shipping costs, and even on its smallest hole it was too large for my wrist (6-1/2" wrist). I had to buy a leather punch and add another hole to the expensive strap, and now the inside of that strap is starting to tear. This silicone strap is far more affordable, the yellow stitching is a much bolder shade than on the Brady-Strap, it looks great with the watch, and it had enough holes to fit my wrist out of the box, with two holes left, so someone with a 6-1/4" or even a 6" wrist could wear this strap with the same Fifty-Five Fathoms watch, no problems. The retention bands are nice and thick, so I imagine they'll last a good long while. And the look of the band on the watch - it still has that upscale casual look that the sailcloth band had, but now it won't absorb water like the old strap! The only negative I see so far is that the levers for the quick release are flipped from what I've normally seen, so that they're hard to install right-handed. But I can deal with that, given all the other benefits of this strap. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR FIFTY-FIVE FATHOMS!!!

I’ve given a lot of other brands a chance, but this is simply the best silicone band you can get in this price range. I love it so much I just got my second one for another watch I just purchased. I use both of these on my Seiko automatics. I have a black with red stitching on my SNGZ and now a black with orange stitching on my SKX. The strap is thick but supple and the hold downs are nice and thick too. The other cheaper straps out there have extremely thin hold downs that break very easily. Not this one. If you’re looking for a quality strap with quick release this is the only one you should consider. I just wish they offered more color options so I could get one for every watch I buy!

The pins are too small for my watch! The band looks amazing and the pins have a cool feature that's a little handle that allows you to more easily pull the pin springs back to install it. ***BUT - it also makes them hard to take out of the band if the pins are too short, which they are!! So I'm stuck with a beautiful band that has a cool design, with one GIANT FLAW that makes it almost unusable! I'm afraid I'm going to have to tear the band at the edge of the pin hole in order to get it out and replace it with longer pins. Very frustrating. :-( UPDATE: Thanks to a link from the seller, I found out the correct and easy way to take the "eazy-release" spring bars out. I used the bars from the original watch band and they worked great and the band is beautiful and perfect!

The band was nice but the pins did not have enough travel to install on my watch. I would of used the old pins but this style band has an easy to install feature that does not allow you to use different pins. I checked and it was the right size band for my watch.
