Watch ExpertsReplacement Black Polyurethane Link Bracelet Band 22mm for Luminox 3000 and 3900 Series Watches

Edit.. 6/2019.. 6 years later..It's still going strong on my every-day-worn Luminox 3001!Over time the 3001 and this band morphed into my 100% "Around the house" watch, including doing dirty yard work, building paver patios and retaining walls, oil changes, fix this, fix that and on and on.. that watch and this band have been through it all.The 2013 band has been caught on things a few times, not super hard, but enough that it would have hurt a bit if it were a steel bracelet, and it has not pulled apart.So the other day I bought another one just-in-case.. the old one is fine, but.. ya know, its 6 years old.I planned on putting the new one on the old 3001.. then I bought a Apple watch 4, 44mm, GPS/Cellular in silver, I also bought a set of those little black 22mm Apple watch standard link adapters.( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076S6CT2K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )This band looks fantastic on the silver Apples, no joke.Its lightweight and wont scratch-to-silver like a black stainless band will.After 6 years of trusty wear with my first band, I gave the new one a few firm tugs to make sure of no weakness and hung my $500 Apple on it.So there.If you want a very.. very.. comfortable black bracelet that will last and look good doing it, this is the one for you.It's simply perfect for lightweight black composite traditional watches, as well as a awesome match for Apples and the like.(It beats the poo out of sweaty, stiff, cracking, nasty rubber straps)I was slow to warm up to my Luminox 3001, it took me 2 months to start wearing it, and only then just around the house.This bracelet has transformed my watch into one I really like.I was concerned this linked type would not stretch at all, putting too much pressure on the holes in the polycarbonate watch case when my wrist is bent back, but it does stretch a little!Its not at all soft/mushy like rubber, but its not hard like metal either.It conforms the wrist better and rubber and requires no break-in.I greatly prefer this clasp to the buckle types.I'm not having any trouble with the pins loosening, I tightened them before installing.This bracelet "breathes" better than rubber, it causes far less sweating than my original.So far I really like this bracelet and highly recommend it.Caution... This band on a nice poly watch can ruin you for higher quality watches.I have a few nice stainless watches that I've been happily wearing for many years, now they sometimes they feel annoyingly heavy and uncomfortable.

Great watch band - I've ordered a number of these over the last probably 11 years in 20mm and 22mm. It's light, breathable, durable, doesn't pinch, looks great dressed up or down. After about three years of daily use, I'll usually have a polyurethane linj failure at one of the pins, but I'm pretty happy with that lifespan.

My original band on my Luminox (series 0200) finally gave out. So I did some searching and found this one. I ordered this thinking it was 22 mm where the band joins the watch it's self, however this band is wider than 22 mm. Therefore, I had to do some "minor surgery" with an exacto knife in order for for the band to join the watch.The band itself is fully adjustable, from the micro adjustments withing the clasp, and the individual removable links. Providing the exact fit for every wrist. Comfort?? This band doesn't pinch you skin, or pull your hair. And best of all, you get look of a metal band without the noise or weight. = AWSOMETo remove the links, you will need two of the tiny little screw drivers (such as those sold in those little glasses fixit packs - or for you tech heads, its the 1.4mm flat head screw drivers. With those in hand, put the head of one driver in the slot on one side, and use the other driver to twist out the screws. The pins within the links are a tubular pin and a screw that goes into that.To re-size the clasp, simply use a standard or # 1 paper clip, and straighten out part of it. Use it as a pin to push the spring loaded pin and it should slip out - You can also use a paperclip to push out the pin where the band joins the watch

Bought this to replace the basic and size limited band that came with the pebble.I read in reviews that the band would need slight altering to fit the pebble and so I was prepared with a xacto knife to cut away the necessary parts. It took about 10 minutes to carefully cut away the sides of the links that connect to the pebble and once I was done the band fit perfectly. I'm sure the same modification could be done more safely with some sand paper.The band looks and feels great. It has a light plastic but rubbery feel and nature to it. I guess I could see how some of the 1star reviewers felt this was "cheap plastic" feel but for me it looks to be sturdy while remaining very light weight. It is a very comfortable band and doesn't seem like it would break under normal stress or wear and tear. It is the perfect accent to the pebble watch and the sizing options offer a lot more than the stock band which fit either too loose or too tight on my wrist. If batman needed a watch band, it would probably look like this.I could only give this watch band 4stars because there are some issues that I have with it. Adding and removing links proved to be a major pain in the butt by myself. Trying to use two small flat head screwdrivers to unscrew the pins whilst holding the band was difficult and frustrating. I ended up getting someone to help me which made the task fairly easy. Also, dealing with screws has me worried about these pins getting loose and unscrewing over time. I am considering adding a bit of loctite to all of the links I don't plan on ever removing and tightening down the ones I do. I haven't lost a pin yet but I believe this to be a valid concern.Other than that I think it's a great band and with a little modification, greatly complements the pebble. I didn't deduct a star for the price although I do think $32 is a bit much to ask. I think while $20 is still high, it would be the sweet spot for this band and I would have no hesitation buying more for my other watches.I can easily recommend this watch to anyone interested or looking for a replacement for the pebble band. I will come back to add to this review should I find it does not pass the test of time.
