BISONSTRAP Metal Mesh Watch Band for Women and Men, 316L Stainless Steel Woven Watch Strap, 20mm, Silver

After only using ultra low-end mesh and Milanese bracelets in the past, this one from Bisionstrap is a massive step up. The thickness is "meaty" and feels high-quality, but it’s not so tall that it looks bulky or adds a ton of unnecessary weight. It just feels solid. My only real gripe is the clasp. It’s honestly pretty cumbersome to put on, and I might just be missing an easier trick to it. I’m used to butterfly clasps, which are usually a breeze to adjust and snap shut. However, those butterfly clasps often have too many layers that pinch or create pressure points on the bottom of my wrist. Even though this clasp is mildly frustrating to get on, I don’t deal with any of those pinching issues. Once it’s actually on, it’s easy to adjust, very comfortable, and looks great. If you’re tired of the super thin, cheap mesh bands, this is definitely worth the upgrade.

This is a very, very good product with a premium feel, even more so when its low price is taken into consideration. If you like the look of mesh bracelets, I highly recommend it. The length of this bracelet seems perfectly adequate for at least an 8-inch wrist size. The weave of the stainless steel mesh is nice and straight and of good quality. The mesh thickness is approx. 2mm, with very good flexibility. The quick-release spring bars are much appreciated and enable you to easily move this bracelet from watch to watch. The clasp comes with a brushed finish, but like most other mesh straps, the rest of the bracelet has a polished finish. If you want a little duller brushed finish like I do, you can get a pack of those Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty green scour pads (about 5mm thin and measuring 6 x 3.8 inches) and simply wipe in one direction over the exterior surface of the bracelet while using moderate pressure to introduce a brushed appearance. There are YouTube videos that talk and show more about how to do this. I’LL BE DESCRIBING THE OPERATION OF ORDINARY MESH STRAPS FIRST: Most mesh bracelets in this price range use a fastening system/clasp that is very adjustable; however, most other mesh bracelets require the use of a small screwdriver or other prying tool to raise/loosen a small adjustment bar to allow for movement of that part up and down the bracelet. When you get it into the position required for comfort, you push the adjustment bar down to lock it in place. Then you hook the other end of the bracelet over the movable part of the clasp to fasten the watch around your wrist. You can’t adjust the fit without removing the watch from your wrist, getting out your small tool, raising/loosening the adjustment bar, and sliding that part up or down the bracelet a little. NOW I’LL TALK ABOUT THIS PRODUCT AND HOW IT DIFFERS: This mesh bracelet, which comes in the most popular watch lug width sizes of 18, 20 and 22mm (as well as 16mm), operates differently from most others in that you can easily adjust the fit without a tool every time you put it on and while wearing it as well. In my opinion, this bracelet should be attached to the watch with the clasp end of the bracelet at the 6 o’clock position. Maybe this advice is only applicable to right-handed folks like myself who wear their watch on their left wrist, so do experiment to see which way is easiest for you. Usually the buckle or clasp end of a watch strap is attached at the 12 o’clock position. Either way, it won’t affect the appearance of the watch once you get it on your wrist and the clasp is closed. Admittedly, putting the watch on your wrist with this bracelet takes a little practice, but the tool-less on-the-fly adjustability more than makes up for it being just a bit more fiddly to put on. After you get the hang of it, you’ll find that it is quite easy. With this bracelet, there are no parts to slide up and down the bracelet’s length and any extra length of bracelet will simply be tucked behind the bracelet’s exterior next to the clasp, presenting a very neat and tidy appearance. The clasp is very low-profile. To adjust the bracelet while you are wearing it, just unlatch the clasp (no tool needed) and tighten or loosen the fit before re-closing the clasp.

The most important thing in online shopping is trust. Not only does Bisonstrap provide a beautiful well made product, they stand behind it with excellent customer service. I love the way this strap looks and feels, it is an excellent value and appears to be very well made. I had a small issue with the clasp on my strap, I reached out to Bison and they immediately resolved the issue with no questions asked. The strap is a cinch to install with its quick release pins. The mesh is thick and robust, appropriately fitting the case design of most modern mens wristwatches. It is extremely comfortable, I prefer it to the original leather that came on my watch. Overall I would highly recommend this strap, my only suggestion would be to consider the deployment clasp model that Bisonstrap offers as it may offer a more secure closure system. I chose this system and I wanted a more streamlined fit and was trying to avoid the bulk of the deployment buckle mechanism. As others have noted the strap is long and can fit a large wrist, I have a 195mm or 7-11/16" wrist and the extra material is not a deal breaker for me.

Good looking but I do worry about my watch falling off. And the "black" is not a true black but rather an antique bronze or brown-black color.

The strap itself is really nice & well made, but the clasp isnt 100% reliable. It just doesnt "click" in like I'd prefer, and comes undone too easily. Wayyy to easily if it drags on something in the wrong direction. Ive only had this for a few days, and it's come loose on me TWICE while Ive been watching TV from my recliner. No way would i trust this on the job, or any other kind of outdoor physical activity. I dont recommend and wouldnt buy it again.

The classic Milanese mesh band has a simple streamline clasp - standard from decades past. The advantages are lay flat appearance, easy adjustment of sizing, comfortable to wear. The fold-under clasp bracelet that most other bracelet watch bands feature tend to be more secure, but clunky and require a lot of effort to adjust size. The fold-down simple clasp on this band is secure (assuming you don't plan to wear it for extreme sports activities). It is easy to take off and put on if you place the watch face down on a counter or on your leg if seated so the pressure from your wrist can keep the watch from moving around. My watch is a 38mm face with 18mm width band. As others have indicated the 316L stainless weave is very nice, and extremely comfortable with no pinching.

Dieses Armband wertet meine Uhr (Lacoste) wesentlich auf. Passt haargenau zur Farbe des Uhrengehäuses. Sehr schön!!!
