22mm Metal Band by MiLTATMiLTAT 22mm Straight End Universal Watch Band, Engineer Screw-Links Design

I bought this band to replace the stock band on my LG G watch urbane. I was looking for a 22mm stainless steel watch band that would not look cheap. This band was appealing to me because it's just a simple brushed finish and it's not painted metal, so it wouldn't get scratched up much.I've had the band and the watch now for a few days and I've gotten numerous complements on how good it looks. True to the picture it doesn't look cheesy and cheap. It's also a very comfortable band and once you get the hang of taking it on and off, it's easy to put on. The locking mechanism on the clasp is a huge plus and gives you added security about now having your $200 smart watch go flying when you're running or whatever it is you do. I've worn this watch so far with the band on for a soccer game, some hiking, and some running. The band has held on great without being irritating.The band size is very easy to adjust. It just takes a jewelers screw driver, which is far preferable to the pin-type bands. Threads seem a lot more secure to me over friction fit pins... And the screws are easier to take in and out than the pin-types.On top of the fact that it looks good in general and the comfort of the band, the band goes great with the LG smart watch because the brushed stainless matches the metal that they used to make the case for the LG Urbane (Silver). It looks like this band was made for this watch (Which it wasn't). So for any other urbane owners out there: can't recommend this band/bracelet enough. It's classy, well made, and looks good.

This bracelet has higher quality and more solid feel than my stock bracelet from my Orient Ray II. Yet, the quality control is lacking. The final snap when closing the bracelet only lines up on one side, so it's only half held in place. This means the bracelet snap down comes undone all the time and is not held down well enough. Annoying and frustrating for how much I spent, and just a repetitive annoyance throughout the day. Also, one of the spring bars has already popped out once from the watch itself. Not sure if this is an issue with the strap maker, the spring bar maker, or Orient, but I cannot fully trust this watch and strap combo on a real dive any anything of the sort, because this watch could easily be lost as it is now. I already unpackaged and attached the bracelet, so returning it is likely not an option at this point. I bought an endmil strap a couple years ago for a Seiko, from the same company, and the quality control was alot better. So maybe hit or miss with them? Its a gamble though, because you may not find these issues until the product is already unpackaged with the sticker etc, taken off.Note: I just tested the thing again by applying slight pressure bending the wrist, spring bar popped out and the watch fell off. I have a boat and often swim in relatively deep waters. This strap cannot be trusted on a watch that has any real value to its user, I would beware.UPDATE:I reached out to Strapcode, and they came through big time. They sent me a fully functioning clasp, and also new spring bars the fit an Orient. Now the strap looks incredible and is super reliable. Can't speak highly enough for the customer service and the product, after the small hiccup.

I bought this to put on the Orient Blue Ray dive watch, and have not looked back.It is the perfect combination of watch and band, looking both elegant and tough.The band is heavy and solid and well made with solid links, not the folded over cheap links.Size adjustment is easy with a small screwdriver to remove links as needed.I suggest you check the screws when you get the band, and use a tiny bit of LocTite to ensure they don't work their way loose. I found a few that were loose, but have had no problems with the band since I did that.It is beautiful to look at, comfortable on the wrist and securely locks.What more can you ask of a metal band?

I hesitated buying this strap because it wss pricier than many other stainless steel straps. After several negative experiences with those other less expensive straps I decided to give this one a try.I was impressed by the weight, packaging and overall finish of this strap. I might be wrong, but the metal used for this strap seems to be of much higher quality that other straps. Other steel straps scratch easy, this one has held up quite well.I like the fact that it is 22mm both at the lugs and at the buckle area. It does not slim down from 22mm to 18mm like many otgervstraps.I foubd adjusting the length by removing links then micro adjusting at the buckle area much easier than traditional pressure pin straps. With this strap all you need is a a tiny flathead screwdriver to remove links. To micro-adjust near the buckle area you will need a pin-type tool to push in the tiny spring bars.Overall the adjusting process was simple and yielded a presice fit for me.If you are on the fence about spending a little more to get this strap, you could do what I did; waste money on several cheaper srainless steel straps that will frustrate you, or spend a bit more the first time around and get this strap. In the end you will probably regret having wasted money on tge cheaper straps and end up getting this strap anyway.
