I have a larger Casio solar atomic watch that I had been using a twist-type stretchy band on and while it worked it was not truly comfortable. After switching to this I was able to adjust the band to my taste and it stays where I want it to. On top of that it looks great, too. So far I absolutely love it. I would easily compare this (and a big part of why I bought this) to my Skaagen watch with a titanium mesh band. I don't know how well the titanium band would hold on to my Casio as the Skaagen is a much smaller watch (depth-wise). If you're looking for a band that you can adjust yourself without special tools that will stay and last through some use, this is the band for you.
