Over a year of wearing my watch pretty much 24/7 and this band remains intact. The plastic has hardened over time and become rather brittle. From experience with similar bands, I can say that it would probably break if I tried to bend it any significant amount. However, this doesn't really impact my ability to use the band. I wouldn't recommend this band for someone who tends to frequently take off their watch, as I suspect it would eventually break (and it will no longer lie flat).

Bought this for my Timex Ironman Triathlon watch mainly used for jogging/running. It works fine as a replacement strap. Not as thick as I was hoping, rather thin which makes the watch look bulkier on my wrist.

I purchased this watchband for a Seiko sports watch that I've had for decades. My prior replacement watchband was thick and sturdy, but the pins would give out frequently. I purchased this one as this was the right size and inexpensive, and I just needed one to work. When I opened it, I was surprised at the thinness of the rubber strap. It feels flimsy. Also, another thing that surprised me - I'm used to the watchbands having the pins in them. This one has the pins separately that you put in the watchband and then you can attach it to the watch. A minor point, but I thought I'd mention it.
Anyway, I started wearing it, and it actually felt really stable. About 1 week into my purchase, I had put my hand into my pocket, and the watchband pins detached from the watch. I tried reattaching them, but no such luck.
Although it worked only for 1 week, I'm not going to rate this a 1-star, because the band was fine, just the pins were problematic. I guess if they sell pins by themselves, I can install them and give it another go.

I bought 2 of these bands from Amazon because the original did not last much more than a year.
Mind you I am hard on them! (By the way the original was not from Amazon, it was just as supplied by Casio).
So far the band seems good and I was pleased that it was supplied with spare pins (because I needed them).

The only thing that wasn't quite right was the that the width of the band was a tight fit through the buckle,
but I fixed it pretty easily by just trimming about half a millimeter off with a sharp knife.

I've had this for a few days so far. Fairly easy to install, seems about as durable as the original Casio strap (i.e. it should last for a few years and then break, just as all my Casio straps have). It's a good match for the Casio watch. Good thing it came with spring bars, since this watch has solid non-spring bars. One oddity - the strap is slightly wider than the inside of the buckle, so it's a bit hard to pull through.

i have a freestyle watch that came with a thick, sturdy band that was attractive and added to the overall look of the watch (which i love). unfortunately, i wore out the band and they no longer make this watch style which i wasn't ready to give up yet. for the price alone and the fact that it really does work, i would have given it 5 stars BUT, it's boring, thin and feels cheap and that's why i only gave it 3 stars. BTW-it came with new pins.

i am glad i am able to still wear my watch until i find a suitable replacement. i guess that's all you can ask for from a replacement band.

I bought the band for a Casio W71. The enclosed pins do not compress far enough to fit within the 19 mm. space for attaching the band. Be careful. Examine closely how the original band is attached to the watch -- not with compression pins -- and use the original pins again when you install the new band.

Inexpensive replacement ... and cheap. Five months after replacing the years-old, original (long) strap the replacement cracked. Yes, they are inexpensive but the plastic is very cheap and quite stiff, especially when it becomes cold. The quality of the replacement straps is much lower than those attached to the new watch. Look elsewhere.

I figured I was in for a new watch when the strap broke. But then I saw this, ordered it, and my Casio Databank has a new lease on life. Fits perfectly, was easy to replace the old strap.

Agree with another reviewer that the width of the strap is exactly the same as the inside of the buckle, and because of this, the strap does not glide as freely through the buckle. But, for less than $4, it is worth every penny spent.
