This 22mm silicone band is excellent, certainly the most comfortable band I've ever worn. As soon as I took it out of the package and felt it, I was impressed. It felt soft, very flexible in my hand. I've bought a number of sport watches with rubber or poly straps and this silicone model just leaves the others in the dust.

This is a simple, black sport band with no taper. It's thick enough to be sufficiently tough for any purpose and any watch. Obviously, I would not buy this for a dress watch, but for sport watches this is an excellent choice. It comes at a very modest price and is certainly competitive with the best sport straps as far as comfort and price. If you notice in the pictures, it comes with appropriate size pins already in the band!

It isn't without a flaw, however. My wrist size is on the smaller end of the spectrum and fits me absolutely perfectly. Usually, watch bands are sized toward larger wrist sizes, but not in this case. If I were a man with a large wrist, I would have to pass on this fine band.

For me, this was an excellent purchase. Five stars.

Update April 17, 2014: This has been a good strap. It's still on the same watch I originally put it on. It's still soft and flexible. It's still intact and I have not had any problems with the band or the pins that originally came with it. It's been a good band for me, regardless of how much sweat, scrapes or knocks it has had to deal with.

Update January 17, 2015: If you want to spend $8 more (+/-) for the best in silicone bands of this size and color, look at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GUO1IH4/.
