Fit my Skagen perfectly

Needed a replacement watch band for my Skagen model 856XLSLC, which has screw-type connection. I ordered a 26mm size based on the width of the original band, and the delivery was on time from Amazon. The replacement kit contained a band set and a screw driver with screws for attaching the band to the watch. The width of the replacement band was slightly larger than the attachment slot, so the edges were trimmed by about 0.5 mm on both sides to fit inside the slot. The screws went in easily and the band was secured to the watch. This replacement band material is more flexible than the original band, which makes it easier to put on the wrist. I like it better than the original.

I had great difficulty trying to get these tiny screws in to hold the straps on to the watch base. If I had not scrounged up some small forceps and a small screwdriver I would have had to take it to a jeweler. That would have added more expense. I've only just installed the strap so I don't know how it will wear. The manufacturer should include a tiny screwdriver and small clamps to hold the screw so those without those items could put the screws in more easily.

My jeweler suggested I buy this band on Amazon, even told me what size to buy and he put it on my watch.

This band was a replacement for the watch as the old one was worn. Happy to say it looks brand new again!

With the tiny screwdriver that I bought separately, I replaced my old watch band. Now my watch looks brand-new.

The strap seems fine, but it only comes with one keeper loop instead of two like in the photo. If you have excess strap it will just be hanging and eventually bending back. It's really bad for a rather expensive strap like this one

The band fits and feels like the original band which is good, BUT I should’ve read the description better. The original band was a 30mm at the face but got skinnier at the hasp or buckle. This being wide the whole way around makes the watch feel clunkier than the original intent of the band. It was hard to find a good description of the bands on the site.
