[Spring Bar] NEWON Stainless Steel Adapter Compatible with Apple Watch Band, for iWatch 44mm 42mm Sport Series 5/4/3/2/1 Clasp Hardware Connector Lug with Replacement Tool - Gold 42/44 24

This Apple Watch connector is about the most elegant way I can think of to expand the range of bands you can buy for your watch. Now, instead of buying office Apple Watch bands or copycat bands, you can buy these solid metal connectors and buy *any* 24mm bands with straight ends available on Amazon! Note: 22 mm bands for the smaller connector size and smaller Apple Watch).The most important test for me was, “How we’ll do they fit?” In the case of the ones I received, the fit is tight, securely fit, and well machined. In fact, these fit better than some of the other Apple Watch-specific bands I’ve bought in the past (many of them too loose).Also, the price can’t be beat. I also bought a set of similar connectors (Wearlizer) that I’ve installed and compared, and — though that brand was pictured as being machined flat like this one — the one I personally received has a curve or hump, causing it to not fit flush with the Apple Watch (please see uploaded comparison photo). That other brand is about twice the cost and does not fit as nicely as this NEWON brand.As long as their quality control is consistent, I would highly recommend these “NEWON” connectors!PS: They also offer another “bar-type” connector style that you may also want to have one or more sets of just in case certain bands work better with that style. Both are great to have on-hand!

Allows me to use my very old Native American watch band

I was skeptical at first. I’m glad I bought these. I used to use the pebble time steel watch until they went out of business . I had a collection of bands for the Pebble . Now I don’t have to throw those bands away . With these adapters, I can use my older favorite watch bands on my new Apple Watch 4. Great idea and product.

Lug-Width (intended width of band to be used) of the 42mm[apple-watch size] is 22mm[band-width].The fit into the watch slats is not perfect, but it's good enough for me. It tends to pinch an arm hair or two when I'm putting the watch on, but I do not have problems with it throughout the day.Make sure to install it in the correct orientation! Like any apple watch slat, it will only stay attached to the watch if the metal part of the button in the center is facing your wrist when you slide it into the watch channel.

I like mechanical watches and own several nice straps. This product is perfect for re-using those straps on my 40mm apple watch. The black colored one matches very close to my titanium black apple watch. I will probably purchase a few more so that I can keep them on different straps to make changes even quicker. I recommend installing the end on the watch, then attempting to to get the strap into the end. I did not use the provided tool, just my finger nail. You will probably need the provided tool to remove the strap from the end if you want to change straps.

I just got this today, took me less than 10 min to put it together thanks to the included tool. It fits my watch and color is a perfect match (pink/rose gold). It seems to snap in securely if you follow the directions above with lining up the right sides. Now I can wear dozens of home made watch bands I made before I had a sports tracking watch.

Excellent for only 6 bucks.. fits very well on the 44mm and looks fantastic with the astoundly durable and comfortable polyurethane link bracelet (see link below). I've used that bracelet for 6 years on another watch and its just perfect matched up with these links and a 44mm 4 series Apple. Impossible to beat for comfort, appearance, price and durability.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HZBOWM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Adapters are slightly larger than the apple watches body. Are not the snuggest fit either so the oversize really shows. But for the price and specific color and band combo there isn't much other options.

When trying to use with a ribbon/material. The bar keeps popping out. I’m not risking loosing my watch for a dodgy product. So disappointed
