Benchmark Quick Release Silicone Watch Band - Rubber Watch Straps for Men & Women - Choice of Color & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm

I recently upgraded my Seiko SNK375J1 with the Benchmark Basics Quick Release Silicone Watch Band, featuring a black rubber strap with striking red stitching. This addition has significantly enhanced both the aesthetics and functionality of my watch. #### Design and Quality The first thing that stands out is the impeccable design. The black silicone strap is sleek and modern, while the red stitching adds a bold and sporty flair. This combination perfectly complements the black and red colour scheme of my Seiko SNK375J1, giving it a racing-inspired look that is both eye-catching and stylish. The quality of the materials used is top-notch. The silicone is durable yet flexible, providing a comfortable fit without compromising on durability. #### Quick Release Feature One of the most convenient features of this watch band is the quick release mechanism. Changing straps is a breeze and requires no tools, making it easy to switch between different looks or to clean the strap. This feature adds to the overall user experience, making it a practical choice for anyone looking to personalise their watch quickly and effortlessly. #### Butterfly Deployment Clasp To further enhance the look and functionality of my watch, I added a butterfly deployment clasp. This clasp not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures a secure and comfortable fit. The deployment clasp makes putting on and taking off the watch effortless, and it sits flush against the wrist, enhancing the overall sleek appearance of the watch. #### Comfort and Fit The silicone material of the Benchmark Basics strap is incredibly comfortable against the skin. It is lightweight, breathable, and resistant to sweat, making it ideal for daily wear and active lifestyles. The strap fits snugly without being too tight, and the flexibility of the silicone ensures it moves naturally with your wrist. #### Conclusion Overall, the Benchmark Basics Quick Release Silicone Watch Band with red stitching has transformed my Seiko SNK375J1 into a stylish, racing-inspired timepiece. The combination of the black and red colour scheme, along with the added butterfly deployment clasp, creates a sophisticated yet sporty look. This strap not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the watch but also offers superior comfort and practicality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their watch with a high-quality, stylish, and functional strap.

This item went perfectly with the watch I wanted to replace the metal mesh watchband it came with. This watchband is very soft and pliable, yet feel sturdy and high quality. The stitching accents were perfect for the watch I mated it to, it looks custom made! If you are searching for an inexpensive, yet quality silicone watchband, please consider this Benchmarks Basics style. I feel it is a very good value! The quick release knobs make it easy to fit to the watch you are placing it on! If you like to change bands often, this band may be what you are looking for!

First impressions: The silicone rubber is very soft and smooth- very comfortable. It fits my relatively small wrists quite well on the second to smallest hole, and I attached it to my Seiko pretty easily with the included tool (I scratched it a tiny bit, but that was my fault). The thread stitching on the side is a nice aesthetic touch, but we'll see how well it holds up over time. The included pins are thinner than the stock ones, and after putting on the band and taking it off once, they were slightly bent. However, they still work fine. Also, the hole punch part of the tool is very easy to accidentally bend. The pronged side is much more effective for removing the pins. Overall, the build quality of the band itself seems higher than the pins and the tool. After a few days of constant use, the band accumulated a little bit of white residue, which is normal for synthetic bands. I rubbed it off easily. I'm happy with this band for now. It seems to be pretty good quality for the price. Hopefully it lasts years like my previous watch's band did.

I have no prior experience with silicone straps for my watches, so this review might not be too insightful. The (silicone) material has a very smooth texture and finish that allows it, not only to wear nice on the wrist, but also makes it look of high end quality: which it might be. The strap has a slight taper that is not exaggerated and seems to run proportionately, relative to the lug base of the watch. Two very minor drawbacks, in my experience, would be at the base of the strap itself and the buckle: When installing the strap onto the Khaki King, I found the width of the strap to be just a hair-bit too wide. However, it seems like this might be to achieve a flush look at the lug base. Regarding the buckle, it is similar to the aforementioned. When sliding the strap end onto the buckle, there is a very light resistance. This makes it just a little harder to put the watch on with one hand. However, once more, this might just be to achieve a flush finish. That, or it's the silicone material which produces this "draggy" feeling. I lean to the latter. Overall, it is a good quality strap and I really like it. I hope you enjoy yours!

This silicone strap is my go to when cooking and other activities where some tolerance of messiness is required. A little grease spattered on it is no big deal, washes right off. The strap is comfortable. The watch stays put and it looks good. The orange stitching goes nicely with the orange seconds hand on my watch. You can choose your stitching color to match your watch. Both strap keepers (loops) are floating, so you can position them wherever you like. This strap is best worn snug and is very comfortable when so adjusted. A great addition to my watch strap collection.

Super easy to attach and remove from my watch, the silicone is comfy and has some grip so it doesn't slide.

Functionally this is a great silicone/rubber wrist band for my watch. Benchmark Straps 22mm Black Silicone Rubber Watchband + Spring Bar Removal Tool (White Stitching) The material is very strong and has a little bit of elasticity that is suspect will help if i snag the band/watch on something. Unfortunately, when the watch is in a notch just a bit too loose it slips around on my wrist, yet the next tighter notch is too tight. Not a knock on the quality of the watch band, just an awkward sizing problem. I do not yet know how well the material will resist heavy perspiration/dirt/grime, but i suspect it will perform admirably. Further, i suspect the band can be washed easily to remove/eliminate any smelly sweat build up that was a constant and regular requirement with my leather band. I really, really appreciate the enclosed tool for removing/replacing the pins - what a great touch. My next comment is stylistically motivated so YMMV..... I do not really like how wide the band is throughout it's length from the pins to the outer ends. I wish it were slightly narrower like my previous leather band. That said, the white-thread stitching looks great with my watch and was a primary "draw" for me. In short, i am overall pleased with my my watch band and am certain it will perform well in the adverse circumstances it will be used.

Excellent product, super value, perfect 20mm fit and extremely fast service. The band is a very comfortable soft rubber product that looks great. The kit is complete...band, installation tool and two new retainer pins. The length and hole placement is better than any traditional band that I've owned. I have small wrists and usually when a band is latched it is the first hole and is still a bit loose. The Benchmark is secure with two more holes remaining if needed to be even tighter, especially if it stretches a bit. The installation took about 10 minutes, but it was the first time I've installed a watch band. No instructions are included, so look at the thorough walk-through on the Amazon web site where the product is featured. It was a breeze. I'm ordering another one for a backup watch that's beginning to show some wear and tear. Highly recommended.
