This link tool works far better than the plastic versions that are slightly cheaper, for several reasons:

1) The tips (it includes several) are far thicker, closer to the diameter of the pins in watch links. On the plastic tools, the tip is like a needle. Easy to damage, and easy to damage a watch bracelet with. +1 for this tool on that count.

2) It works on far wider watch bracelets24mm? 26mm? 28mm? No problem. Larger sizes won't fit in the plastic tools, which is bad because the pins on larger links are exactly the ones that are the hardest to get out without a dedicated tools. +1 for this tool on that count.

3) The body doesn't deform on tough pins. The plastic ones do. +1 for this tool on that count.

4) It won't mark up your bracelet. I was initially worried that a metal tool would scratch the bracelet. But the finish on this, which is sort of bead-blasted-ish, combined with whatever metal they used (must be soft) doesn't ever seem to leave a mark of any kind. +1 for this tool on that count.

Basically, spend a couple of extra dollars and get the real "tool" tool, not the disposable plastic version. It'll work better, be easier to use, and last you a lot longer.
