My fault for not looking at the picture description that explains it is NOT a push button type deployment clasp. I have several deployment clasps and  all are push button. I never realized there were clasps without buttons. This buttonless clasp is extremely cumbersome when operating and will eventually wear out (if used). I expect it is cheaper to manufacture. I will put it on a crap watch I have laying around and will likely change out the clasp if I ever expect to use the band... and be more aware next time. The strap is itself is okay I suppose but looks much less attractive compared to my other straps that are admittedly more expensive. LIve and learn.
