Men's Q7B723 Resin Performance Sport 19mm Black Replacement Watchband

Well made and good feel and fit

The POSITIVES: 1)Price, 2)seems sturdy (only time will tell if it lasts!), the clasp/buckle is made of Stainless Steel. The NEGATIVES: 1)The included prongs are too thin and do NOT look strong enough (I'll get thicker ones), 2)it says that the material is RESIN...now...if it is VINYL ESTER RESIN/EPOXY RESIN, then it is 100% Good & SAFE (No PFAS), 3)It's supposed to be an "Official" TIMEX watchband but it doesn't say "TIMEX" anywhere (like the bands Timex watches bring which are clearly printed w/the name), 4)If you have skinny/thin wrists, it can be a little too long.

This watch band is replacing the 2nd leather band that has rotted off of my inexpensive Timex 'work' watch. We live close to a bay and we spend a lot of time on or near salt water. This band is very easy to latch, comfortable to wear, and I don't have to worry about it getting wet. And it's inexpensive enough that if I get paint on it, or some other chemical, or automotive grease, I can easily replace it. But the best part is how well my watch sits on my wrist and it looks decent.

Update Aug. 2018: In terms of longevity this is the best replacement sport watchband I've ever bought. It's resin, not as soft as silicone, but a bit softer and more rubbery than all the many resin bands I've used before. Other resin bands would have hardened and become brittle after a couple years. I've been wearing this for over 3.5 years and it's still just like new. This does have a down-side: other resin bands soon conform to the shape of my wrist and thus stay in place with the watch on the back of my wrist, but this band is so supple that it easily rotates around my wrist. And it is a relatively thick and beefy watch band. But it's comfortable enough, and looks like it will last forever. In the past I replaced watchbands more often than batteries, but it seems this mid-1990s Timex Ironman watch finally has band of matching durability. Original review May 2015 after 5 months of use: Not as comfortable as [silicone], but it gets the job done.

The appearance fit the watch just right.

Overall I like the band but the pins are defective. I had to return the first one and they sent another one real fast. That one's pins were also defective. The watch kept falling off my wrist. I bought new pins (cost about 5 dollars for 8) and they worked fine. Would not mind a consideration.

This was not the size I really needed as I did not messure correctly, but the band is sturdy enough that the small trim cuts I made are not affecting it in any way. It was easy to put on my wrist just out of the package. Ususally I spend a least a week taming the band so I don't need assistance with counter tops etc to just get it on. I also like that it will stay in place once the band is inserted into the buckle without the small prong being in place. This helps if you have to readjust your grip. Because of all this, it does take a little effort to get it off. But once you get used to it, not a problem or distraction.

This band is more than I expected. It is comfortable, quite soft and flexible, and it had a low price. My last band looked about the same, but was made of thicker, stiffer plastic. It eventually broke from wear and tare. My n ew band provides the same good looks, but also is much softer and flexible.

Buen extensible. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
