This watch band has been a good investment.  It is installed on my dive/sports watch.  It was easy to trim the band to fit, and if you are good with tools, you don't need anything special to install the pins that hold the clasp and the watch on the band.  I like the appearance of the band, and wear it daily to work.  The clasp is secure and easy to use.  Overall, this is an improvement over my previous buckle band.  The only draw back is that you can't just let it out a few notches to go over a wet suit sleeve, but now I just wear it under the sleeve.
