Side by Side Comparison of: GGI INTERNATIONAL vs Voguestrap

Ok, I am a woman who is very uncoordinated when it comes to doing things like this. I bought a new watch that needed links taken out and the last time the jewelry store charged me $25 and I said never again. This set was so easy to use. If I can do it, anyone can do it. No there are no instructions but there are YouTube video's and that's how I figured it out. Super easy and super cheap. Will never take my watch to the jewelry store again for links or battery replacement! Is this a high quality, expensive watch repair set, NO, but what you do get is tools that will work if used properly.

Contrary to some opinions, I find this to a very capable little kit. It has every tool you need & unless you how to adjust the pallet hammer or replace the canon pin, you can replace batteries (on PRY OFF BACKS, NOT SCREW DOWN) & size bracelets with no problem. Please remember these are WATCH tools. They will bend & brake if impatience and excess force is used. The reverse analogy would be a surgeon attempting to repair your slipped disk with a 5" circular saw. It's a very capable kit that can save you costly trips to your jeweler.

I love costume jewelry watches but I only buy ones on sale for about $10-$15. When the price to change the battery went up to $10, I started "stock piling" the "dead battery" watches. I was excited to find this kit. I bought it with the card of button batteries. I watched a "youtube" video on changing batteries. I had 23 watches with dead batteries. I damaged one watch and 6 others did not work even with the new batteries. BUT 16 watches now have new batteries and all of them were from the cell button batteries on the card. BEST NEWS: I paid $16 for the kit and the battery card instead of the $160 I would have had to pay at the jewelry store ... and i was simple!!!

if you want to save yourself 10 -15 dollars to take your watch to change the battery or remove a link every time you go then buy this. everything works as you need it. just need to be careful with the blue unit to push the pins from your links. If you don't align it correctly you might end up breaking it but if you do it right then it works just fine. it works so well I just bout the blue unit again on it's own. It's well worth it for the price. check out youtube if you need instructions on how to use all these tools.

Was hesitant about picking this because i read alot of complaints about it being cheap quality etc... decided to pull the trigger because of the price.... moving forward.......well just got the kit in today and i already resized 4 watches of mine and one for the lady...... worked great.... i really cant ask for more right now.... i think i saved my self about a good 35 bucks plus .... it paid for itself.... i remember one day i went into the city to get my watch resized and the dude told me it would cost 18 bucks... ( WHAT !!!) . i laughed and took my watch back and for me that was the final straw..... and im so glad i did I PICKED THIS UP....... im an INVICTA WatcH Colletor and i will not hesitate to use this on my most expensive Watches..... Take your time and do it right... you should NOT have a problem.... DONT RUSH... its take precision..... Now... i dont Think some of these tools will last forever BUT it should last me a while and if it doesnt i will just get another one....... no biggie...Great Product!!!

If you're one of those DIY people who don't feel like paying others to do simple tasks such as changing the battery of your watch for you, and if you own more than 2 watches, this kit is perfect for you.My wife and I own a combined no less than a dozen watches. It simply is annoying to go to a shop to change the batteries, not to mention it costs quite a bit more than I think it's worth. I have always been using basic tools and improvise to adjust the belts, and changing the battery myself without the proper tool is simply next to impossible without scratching anything. My wife recently picked up a nice looking watch and I didn't want to damage it and I went ahead and purchased the kit. The kit comes with no instructions, but everything is very straightforward. It really does come with everything you need, maybe less a working surface if you want to be nip pick. It makes the task so much easier comparing to trying to do it without the tools.The kit does not come in a case, but nothing a nice zip-lock bag cannot handle. I also use the bag to hold some of the spare batteries I have so they're all stored nice and neat together. The pliers shipped with the kit has some grease overflowing from the joint, and it's not the best pilers around. But then again for the price of the kit I feel guilty to even mention this. I will buy this again and recommend this to anyone remotely DIY savvy!

My old strap was black and worn due to sweat, and I was looking for a new one with different color. This strap meets all my requirement: Genuine leather (conformable and soft), good design with brown color and white stitch giving a simple and modern style. I have been wearing this trap for 1 year and I am very satisfied with this product.

This product is every thing you could want in a watch band! It holds my watch securely to my wrist and allows men to check the time of day any time or place that I need or want. It is connected firmly to the watch with two spring loaded pins which were easy to install and to my wrist with a belt buckle type clasp. the brown color contrasts nicely with my pale skin. I would highly recommend this product to any man needing a new watch band.

It fit perfectly on the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph! Didn't spare even a millimeter. It looks very good-made leather. Also, it came with the link pins (or springs).

My father gifted his classic Swiss Army watch, but because of so many years of wear from my father, the leather disintegrated around the buckle and it broke after a week of my husband having it. It has lain in my jewelry box for a year. But I was so happy to find this band! It's nice and thick, and is actual leather: no weird pleather and glue here. Solid stitching, nice heavy buckle, and tight stitching. Soft on the underside (no sharp spots to rub the wrist raw), and a rich, soft color.Will buy again if we need more!

Very nice strap -- good looking, and with good quality that you wouldn't expect at that low price. It compliments the watch very well. The contrasting stitching adds a nice touch. The buckle and keeper are high-polish steel -- if you prefer a matte finish, it is easy enough to brush them out with a 3M pad (that's what I did). Highly recommended!

I bought this watchband as a replacement for a watch that previously had a metal band, which was heavy and uncomfortable. The Voguestrap watchband that I received is exactly true to color as is displayed in the photo on this page. The texture of the band and the stitching are both very nice. Overall, the band seems to be of very good quality, much better than I would have expected for this price point. If you like what you see in the photos, you won't be disappointed with the product that arrives at your door. No word yet on durability since I just put it on, but will update in the future.Update: I've had this watchband for about a week and have been wearing the watch fairly regularly and I LOVE it. It's very comfortable, light, and pretty much everything that I had hoped for in a watchband. Hope it stays in good shape!

I purchased a watch for my wife as a Valentines Day gift. The watch I purchased has a ceramic band which was too tight for her wrist. I called the company and they were nice to send me some additional links (as the watch didn't come with them) to expand the band. I got a watch for myself a month or so ago which also had a metal band that needed adjusting. It was a pain, and somewhat expensive, to track down a jeweler or watch repair store to do this so, while waiting for the links to arrive for my wife's watch, I decided to purchase this kit and do it myself.The kit arrives before the links so I had ample time to check it out. For the price I thought it was of acceptable quality. The hammer came with two plastic tips you can change out on one side of the hammer (as the other side is metal). I didn't really notice any difference between the plastic heads aside from the color. The kit also comes with a hammer block (in which to place the watch band inside to knock the pins out), for punches in different diameters for the watchband pins, a screw-type pin remover, a tool to release the pins securing the watch itself to the bands, and a small container of additional watchband pins. And no instructions whatsoever.Luckily there are lots of internet videos and web sites to help you figure out how to use the tools. When the links arrived for my wife's watch I broke out the set. I had hoped to use the screw-type pin removal tool for the procedure. Unfortunately it just didn't measure up for use with the band I had so I didn't bother with it. I left the band on the watch and placed the band into the hammer block slot (with the pin you wish to remove above one of the many holes). I selected the appropriately-sized punch (all the punches had badly aligned pins - none were straight, but that wasn't a big problem for me in this case) and gently, but firmly, tapped the hammer against it until the pin fell free of the band. I added the new link and reversed the procedure using the original pins in the band. In all, it took me about ten minutes from start to finish. The best part was that my wife got to wear her (now) perfectly sized watch without the hassle or expense.I don't think this will be a durable kit that lasts ages. But, for the money, it did the job and did it well. You may not use it often, but when you do need it you will be glad it's in your tool drawer.

The blue watch band link remover came with only one punch which bent almost immediately when trying to push the pin out of the watch band. (it was aligned properly, so either the pin punch was way too soft, or the link pin was in the link too tight.) It would have been helpful to have some spares. I then used the punches to remove the link pins. The punches are a bit soft and bent easily. But using the pliers to support the "needle" of the punch as I used the hammer to tap on punch pushing on the watch band pin and the grey support block, I was able to remove the links in my watchband. When I need to remove links from another watch band, I now know the "trick" to use the punches to keep them from bending. The kit's tools work subject to the limitations above, so I decided to indicate that I like the kit instead of rating it OK.

Only four star because some of the tools (the small screwdrivers in particular) are easily bent. But for the price this is an excellent set. I used it to change links in a Timex titanium watch which are particularly difficult to change. Youtube had video but without these tools I would never have gotten the job done. Needed the hammer along with the small screwdrivers to make the change. Even then it was difficult but not the fault of the tool set. The small pin tools worked just fine to remove the pins in the clasp and the hammer turned out to be very useful. Nice it has both a plastic and metal side to it so you can avoid scratches. I had to use it to drive the locking pieces out of the links and then to hammer them back in. Have not used to change batteries yet but think the knife will work fine for that. Needle nose worked just fine and the spring in that is a nice feature. Most of my needle nose do not have that. As usually the clamshell packaging is a bit of challenge but like most of us I suspect I have learned to use large shears to cut around. This one I decided to cut on the inside and preserve the back and the backing sheet explaining contents. I used mouse pad upside down for protecting the watch crystal etc. while working on the band and then put the paper backing and plastic backing on the tool front plastic and secured with two rubber bands so that tools stay in their places for the next time I need them. On the whole very pleased with the set, especially for the price. You just need to be careful knowing that you can bend or even break some of the tools if not careful. And unfortunately in case of some watch bands force is needed. That is where I found the hammer most helpful.

NOTE: THE REVIEWS ARE DISTRACTING. Even the highest quality titanium set out there is still going to take finesse to operate.Absolutely amazing how skeptical i was of this set. Yes, It is a very inexpensive and cheaply made set.. HOWEVER, people around the world have been using crappy sets like this, with enough success, to keep them going. So think twice if want to the blame the tools, or blame the user. And think maybe you should pay to have your watch sized or battery changed.However, if all you got to do is punch a few link pins out, it doesn't take the strongest set or highest quality set out there! Yes, you need some skills, a little patience and finesse. So yes.. all the bent tool reviews.. I attribute to USER ERROR. Yes, user error.. for allowing the tools to get at an awkward angle so as to get bent with excessive force. I can't explain it otherwise. Maybe, because, i have been a carpenter and i know how to direct the blows of a hammer so as not to bend nails, i was able to apply force on the pins and tools so as to "not" bend everything up.Seriously folks, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HIGH QUALITY to get the job done.I AM VERY GLAD I BOUGHT THIS SET: I didn't bend or break a tool. Was it easy? "No." I had a complicated band. (i can't say it was "no problem" because YES handling little bitty parts with my big fingers and bad eyes is a challenge. So sizing it was a problem, but the tools weren't)

This was a good value for my needs.I used it to replace batteries (bought here on amazon in a package) in four watches with pop off backs and one watch, a fossil watch with a notch/turn back. The mall kiosk wanted $20 a piece to do this. Department stores like Sears doesn't service battery replacements in my area anymore.At first, I watched a video on you tube which demonstrated holding the watch with one hand and digging knife between notch in the watch with the other hand. Absolutely do NOT do this or you will gouge your fingers with the knife.Use the square plastic thing with the deep lines in it that comes with this kit. The picture shows a gray one, I received a blue one. You can wedge your watch at different angles in order to stabilize it -in order to wedge the knife in. Slowly run knife back and forth between back and watch. Don't force the knife in the space, it may slip and scratch your watch, or your fingers. Usually start with the side of the watch that doesn't have the faux-winding mechanism time adjusting button. Once the knife is somewhat securely in that crevice between back and watch, tap the back of the knife with the hammer provided in the kit. Sometimes gunk gets in that tiny space and makes it a little challenging. But it should come off easily. The first watch I did took over an hour, (after putting bandaids on my cut fingers). But once I figured the trick to it, the rest took five minutes each.NOW, once you have your back off, you may see a thin, black string thing, almost like a tiny rubber band. This goes between the back and your watch and makes it somewhat water resistant. If it is still intact, don't throw it away. If you can get it back around your watch before you snap the back on, you're doing good. If it breaks, it's useless. Don't worry if it breaks, you may not need anymore if you don't plan on soaking your watch with water.For the notch-back watch removal, use the tool in the kit that has two extended black rubber things with adjustable screws on the back. Just adjust the screws holding the rubber points to fit in the notches which are on diameter of the watch and turn counter-clockwise and you got it.I did not use the kit for adjusting any pins or watchbands. But is was well worth it to be able to replace the batteries in my cheapo watches that I love so much.If you've got valuable, jeweler quality watches, this may not be the option for you.

Most reviewers either liked or hated this product and that appears to be a function of their expectations. For less than $10.00 including shipping you are not getting professional quality tools. However, the key element to the positive reviews is to use care and be patient. The watch band tool IS plastic but no it didn't bend on the first, or fifth, use. People who had problems with bending and broken parts probably subscribe to the large hammer philosophy (If something doesn't fit or move easily, get a bigger hammer!) Personally, I'd rather have a $10.00 tool fail than damage a $100.00 watch.I used the watch band sizer to take several links out of a watch band. I did this one or two links at a time, hence several uses. No bent tools. You do need to carefully line up the pin pusher with the watch band pin before starting to apply pressure and continue to monitor it through the process. If you aren't patient when lining it up or can't see the hole in the band, get a magnifying glassThe case opener worked fine. The opener for screw back cases (waterproof watches) also seems to fit fine though I didn't need to open the case since the watch doesn't need a battery. ("If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.")The plastic block works great for holding the band in place while driving pins back in.The tool for removing and replacing the watch band pins (for attaching the band to the lugs on the watch) also works fine.The only other tool that I might have liked was a watch holder (a small vise with plastic jaws) to hold the Watch while changing a battery without damaging the case.The quality of the screwdrivers is useless because the tips of the flat bladed screwdrivers are not square, buy a set of good jeweler's screwdrivers. I didn't try the phillips screwdrivers. The tweezers are helpful, most of mine are not stainless and have become magnetized, so these are great.There were no instructions with my set but go to [...] if you need them. Most tools are obvious and if you can't figure them out maybe you shouldn't attempt repairs.

I needed an inexpensive strap to replace an old worn one. This one is sturdy, good-looking, and does the job.

This seems like an okay strap. I just didn't like the top-side texture, so it was returned. The embossed texture made it look cheap and fake, although it does say "genuine leather" on the underside, so it most likely is real leather. The buckle appears fairly substantial.

Band seems to be of high quality. Does have more thickness (not width) between stiching. Hard to see this in the picture. Only reason for not 5 stars.

I have moderate size wrists and medium-large hands. The length of the strap just made it for me on next to last hole. Length of strap excluding the buckle is 7.5". I don't know what the listed product dimensions apply to! The pictures match exactly with the strap I received. I didn't think to consider the length of the band since I don't have large hands. Let me say, though, my fingers are not stubby and we all know how important that is.

Fits perfectly as a replacement for my Timex Expedition band. In the past, I have a hard time finding a 20mm width, so i've purchased an 18mm instead. The 18 just has a tendency to pop off the watch due to the amount of "play" at the attachment point. Not the 20mm. The band has a nice feel, and I'm very pleased. I treated this one with mink oil and it helped shorten the break-in time.

While this watch band will not be the nicest leather you'll ever use, it is good quality overall and looks nice. It is a more casual style because of the white stitching and the crackled leather look (which is harder to see in the photo). But if you are going for the nicer side of casual than this works well. Easy to install on the watch and I've been using it for over a month with no issues. One thing to note is that the color is slightly redder than you might expect looking at the photo. It is not too red but can look a litter redder when put up against other traditionally brown belts or shoes. Overall great deal and solid watch band.

Has all the right tools, but cheap quality. Example, the needle nose pliers that are included you cannot hold onto a pin - they don't close perfectly. The plastic pieces fall apart easily. It got the job done, so it was worth it, but overall the quality is not good.

This tool kit is OK, not impressive quality but It can be used to adjust watch band length. One problem I had was the blue tool for pushing out the pins in the watchband will not accept watch bands wider than about 7/8". My Invitcta watch band is a little over 1" wide and would not fit in the slot for pin removal. It was necessary to use the drift pin, hammer and the grey band holder to drive the link pins out. There is only 1 pin that fits in the blue pin removal tool. To determine this, the back end of the screw handle must be removed, the very end of the blue screw handle can be unscrewed and the handle carefully split open at the end furtherest away from the pin, to reveal the end of the pin held in a notch. The drift pins are different diameters 0.8 mm to 1 mm but are not marked so you need a micrometer or caliper to determine the correct size. Of course, there are no instructions at all. The small screwdrivers are essentially useless. Look on the internet for instructions on removing pins, and only drive them in the direction shown by an arrow on the inside of the band. Reinstall them from the same direction with the solid end of the pin inserted first.

not bad, especially for the price. i've used it to change several watch bands so far. i've used the pin pushing tool and it hads't broken. however, you obviously have to use it very gingerly and keep realigning the pin as it the whole thing wants to get cockeyed and i'm sure it would break if you just kept applying pressure. still, it's completely doable if you take your time. i've used the block, pin sets, and hammer to re-install pins, with no issues. the tweezers are a little thick to be of much use, but they're functional. the case openers both work find, though the knife is a little thick also (could be fixed with a file, if needs be). i found that the screw drivers are not quite small enough for some watch screws, which is a little disappointing. the needle nose pliers are like any cheap ones you'd find anywhere. and finally, the spring bar tool is functional, but very short, making it difficult to control without it digging into your hand (i sent it into my thumb once...which hurt).all in all, a good starter set of basic watch tools, where you are mainly paying for quantity of tools and definitely not quality. the most lacking thing, for me, was the screwdrivers being overly thick at the working ends, which won't let them fit into very tiny screws. still, i'd recommend if you just want to give basic watch tools a try.

Viewing the photo will tell you what this kit contains!I bought this item because of a need to remove a link that had tight pins. I was able to accomplish the task and think what I paid was worth the ability to make my watch wearable. Having said that, this kit comes with no directions except for one small comment on the back of the clam shell about how arrows tell the direction of a pin. That instruction does not fully explain the meaning of the arrow and the conclusion is not at all obvious. I got lucky. I think I was probably in a 50% who will get it right. Now, regarding the other tools, if I normally did watch repair, these tools might be really nice but I'm not so sure. First off, I know how a quality pair of pliers should look. That appearance is nothing close to what is contained in this kit. I'll attach a photo since I do understand macro photography. The pliers are terrible. The metal finish is rough and the jaws do not meet flush. Conclusion? Junk tools from China I think. But I did get my pin out and that was worth the six bucks I think. I could have driven thirty miles to a jeweler and had it done for $20 and then had to pay for gas. This was a better deal but the tools are realistically of a very low quality. When my dog started barking at the case cover removal tool, I knew I must be right because he has never done that but, then again, he has never really seen a case removal tool and he could have just been confused much like myself. So there you have it. Be sure to eat your fiber to stay active!OK, I just looked at the macro photo and I am returning this thing for a refund. Bear in mind that what is being viewed are the jaws of the new pliers that are completely closed. It is shameful. My dog agrees.

I bought this hoping that I would be able to get a couple uses out of it. I got exactly one use out of the blue plastic pin-remover tool and it broke. If I had really looked at it, I would have seen that the bottom of the tool is hollow, so as soon as you get some real resistance, it just bends and cracks, making the tool completely useless. I tried to clamp it back together so I could finish removing the pin on the watch band, but it didn't work so I tossed it out. Instead I used the hammer and the grey piece to prop the watch up and I removed the pins that way - which works just fine.Net - this is cheap. You get what you pay for. If you're looking specifically for the blue tool, get one that is machined from a metal so it won't break. All the blue plastic ones on amazon appear to be the same cheap models with the same stress points that will eventually (or in my case immediately) break. If you want a single-use set, this is fine. The little screwdrivers are actually not too bad, as are the little pieces you use with the hammer to tap the pins out. So overall, yea, it's cheap and flimsy, but for 3-4 watches this will probably do its job and then go in the trash.

Some reviewers say this is great, some say it's junk.Well, these are OK.But, when you need to work on some watches, and you are careful not to stress these tools,they fill a need that your toolbox can't. I got all my difficult watch backs off with this kit. So, I'm happy.With that said, these are not pro tools. If I decided to do this for a living, all day long, I would look elsewhere.Every tool in this kit, is a knockoff of a "REAL tool", that by itself, probably costs twice as much as the whole kit!The problem is, I don't think you can find "real" watch repair tools on Amazon.No matter what I checked out, even if more expensive, they just seem to be another incarnation of these very same tools from China.

good looking but somewhat too stiff.

Be aware that these are on the small side. I have an average-to-larger-than-average wrist, and can only use the 2nd or 3rd holes. The band is also darker than the pictures would lead you to expect. Otherwise, they are high quality, and perform as expected.

Wrong size, but a quality product.

I just got this band and I have mixed feelings. It looks great and feels fantastic but you can tell it is not the best quality. My biggest issue is that the bottom of the clasp has a sharp indent that cuts at the leather. I just put it on and you can already see a deep cut forming.

Product is ok, though the buckle could have been stronger.

I have used this strap twice now (on the same watch), since it's one of the few that fit the watch and are the right color. The first one lasted 1-1/2 years of 4-days/week wearing before the leather that holds the metal buckle separated (unfixable). In comparison, the original leather band that came with the watch lasted almost three years before breaking at the spring bar (the leather tore). Still, it is a decently made band, is real leather, comes with new spring bars, and the cost is not too high for 1-1/2 to 2 years of use.

Well this was a case of you get what you pay for. Parts of this broke the first time I used it but was cheap enough it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to get parts replaced. I really don't recommend trying to use the tool to get the watch back off. You would be better off buying a nicer three pronged remover. This pin remover has quite a bit of flex to it so you really have to guide it so it doesn't walk off the pin. The rest of the kit works pretty well

Parts feel greasy and the only tools that work after repeated use are the ones that don't have moving parts. So the watch cover leverage thingy, the tweezers, and the hammer I've been using to hit my knee when I'm bored.The pliers has an easy to pop out spring and it nearly took out my eye!The giant blue thing that you use to push pins into the watch's links bends and twists while trying to remove the pin from the cheapest watch In have, was easier just using a table and hammering the thing out with a push pin included with the kit at that point, therefore scratching the watch but hey it was easier than the blue thing that launched a pin into my finger because it is so wobbly and things get launched when under such pressure!The silver flat head screwdrivers aren't even properly attached, they just threw the flat head part into the silver housing and expected the glue to bond it, and it never did in the first place and now it just twirls around while not screwing anything. Guess I could give it to a friend to troll them and see how ling it takes them to notice and get pissed.The mini Philips seem to work, but there is grease on everything when I received it so it slips in my hand anyways!Rated 2 stars only because the cover lever thingy works good for scraping too and the tweezers are useful because I work with computers and I lose screws inside the case all the time. 2 stars for 2 tools, I think that is reasonable.

Okay I bought this to change the number of links in my moto 360. Are these watches made for children or what? The punches that came with this kit are too soft and easily bend and are too short to completely knock out the pins. I destroyed one. The pliers are useless and do not complement the punch. I could not pull out the pin. In the process I ended up bending the pin. The hammer is so light weight that while it worked it was inconsistent. I tried the watch press but it is designed for a watch band much thinner then the moto.I used the watch back wrench, which is made of metal, as a stand to hammer in the pin.It gets two stars because I was able to eventually change out the pins and get the extra links installed.

Great little handy tool kit. It is handy and nice to know it's there (for occasional use) when needed if you are not a professional watch repair person or watch maker. But it is not a high quality tool kit . There are several Plastic tools in this kit and it would have been a nicer kit if it included a fitted case for the tools.The reason I only gave it 2 stars is because of NO CASE and because of the PLASTIC used to manufacture a tool. Especially for the strenuous use that these can be subject to. I frown greatly on plastic tools unless absolutely necessary for the application.

In the picture you would think this kit included three jewelers screw drivers and three watch band pin tools of different sizes. Nope each of each three are the same size and the three screw drivers are very blunt and likely of limited use ... at least I have not found a screw they fit. The band pin tool are too large diameter to fit the holes I expected to use them on. One pin on the adjustable back wrench, shown in the middle of the photo, bent and looks like it cracked on the first back I used it on; it did not remove the back of the watch. Fortunately, the screw-in watch band adjustment tool shown in the upper left, which is why I bought this kit, did actually allow me to adjust the watch band on a Citizen woman's watch, but the pin on this tool also bent slightly during use, so I don't know how long it will last, should I need to adjust another band. In short, this is not a kit I can recommend.

For the price, I can't complain too much, but the MFG padded the package with "extras" to make you think you're getting a bargain.The pin removal tool works decently enough, but the one I received is bent out of the box (the tip of the pin is bent) - I straightened it with the supplied pliers :)Zero replacement pins for the removal tool are suppliedThe pin-set-block is okay, but should also have shallower sides for thinner or ladies bracelets. It is unusable for smaller bands.The pliers are dollar-store equivalentThe hammer... is handy, actually, and decent weight and the nylon end is just hard enough to be usable without causing damage.The case-back knife seems okay, but appears to be cheap metal, not a good, tempered stainless steel... my pocket knife works better!I've not used the crab-wrench, but am leery of a two-prong wrench... prefer 3-prongs for stability and torque.The 5 screwdrivers supplied are useless... the 3 flat-head are all the exact same size, same for the 2 Philips-head... only difference is length.The three punches... all the same size diameter, and all too big for most of my bands.The spring-bar tool is highly useful... if it were sharper, and the pin-push were tapered like it should be....Tweezers... they could be made of Aluminum-foil (they're useless)Do yourself a favor... spend your $7 on a decent pin removal tool (with extra pins of different sizes). If you need a good crab-wrench for screw-on case-backs, buy a 3-prong version (it will prevent slipping and give better torque). If you only have to size a couple of bands and change the occasional battery, this set may be worth your effort and cost over a jeweler, but Wal-Mart will size a band and install batteries for FREE!

It is too large for my watch.

It works but is a little small for an adult sized wrist. Materials feel cheap but at least it was inexpensive.

Cheap and crap... It didn't last and thin looking.

This felt like a cheap watch band. I replaced it after wearing it for 2 weeks.

This watch band is NOT "one size fits all"! My wife has a Walton watch. She bought it at CVS so it's not an expensive watch. She loves this watch and has owned several of this same exact watch over the years. I had to "snip and clip" the band because it was to wide to fit the watch opening. The pins that came with the new band were to long but fortunately I was able to use the old pins. Bottom line is I made this band work but again it is NOT "one size fits" all.

Product is not as good as the one i bought last time- one of the loops to slip the strap in broke in the third day and the other one is not very tight.

This kit has very poor quality. The watch holder was missing one part and wouldn't stay together. The precision screw drivers were not fine enough to remove screws in the watch. One screw driver was bent. The thing to unscrew the back of the watch had very rough edges and I had to use gloves while using it. I wasted my money on this thing.

I'm not one for writing product reviews unless a product is very good or better. But, in this instance, I am willing to make an exception. Today I am trying to replace the batteries in several of my watches and again, despite my best judgment, I turned to this watch repair tool kit. Now that my thumb is bandaged properly, I will share that this kit is awful. The tools are of such poor quality that it is almost impossible to use any piece of the kit. Now, to be fair, the mini-flat-head screwdrivers (3 of them for some reason) work as cheap mini-flat-head screwdrivers. The band replacement tool is not fine enough to use, but you are likely to get a better quality one free with the order of a new band. I have several Nato-style bands; all came with better band replacement tools. The pin remover (the large blue thing with the screw-in handle) is garbage. It is so cheaply made that it flexes under the littlest amount of pressure that only the most flimsy of watchband pins will come out. So, you need to resort to the watch stand and mini-hammer, which are okay ... at best, but the handle on the mini-hammer is so narrow that it is nearly impossible to control. Then the pry blade, well, the blade is so thick that you are hard pressed to get it in to any nature of pressure-fit backings unless they are pregrooved for use with a lower quality tool. Oh, I almost forgot, the final straw for helping to encourage me to write this review is that the blue coating on the tools (mine are all blue, not red and blue like the one in the pictures) is so cheap and of such poor quality that every time I try to use one of the blue-handled pieces my hands turn all blue ... well, today blue and blood-colored. I'm hope the chemicals in these coatings is not carcinogenic! So, save yourself the headache and buy some better quality tools.

The version made by SE Tools is what was sent to me. THIS KIT RUINED MY WATCH. The blue plastic link remover damaged my watch. After using it, the plastic broke. Also, the blue color of it transferred to my white ceramic watch. Please see pictures. Other tools are ok since they do their job, the tools with plastic material are mediocre. If you are using an expensive watch with this kit, please make sure you protect it with a cover or just use something else. Please use with caution.

Blue Plastic Adjusting Tool broken from the first use

While this kit gives you the tools you may need to work on your watch, the tools are so poorly made that you should avoid it to regret buying it like I do. I am by no means a licensed jeweler or anything of the sort, but I have replaced many bands and batteries, and due to losing my old tools in a move, needed a new set and was looking for a bargain. I know that you usually get what you pay for, but this is beyond anything I've ever dealt with before. Breakdown of what will make you regret buying this below:First - The case wrench broke the first time I used it, also, if your watch case is over 50mm, don't bother, it wont expand wide enough to unscrew your case back.Second - The first time I used the link punch to downsize the bracelet/band on my watch, the cheap steel bent. I have been using the spring bar tool to do the rest of them.The rest of the tools have not been broken yet, but that's because I haven't used them. Seriously, if you want this kit, go to your nearest dollar store as they probably have it in stock and you won't have to pay for/ wait for shipping. I hope this review can keep others from feeling ripped off and cheated.

This is a very cheaply and poorly made product. For the price I can't complain much but felt like I needed to share my experience. I purchased the set primarily because I was looking for the spring removal tool included. This tool is acceptable but the other items in the package are pretty poorly made. I didn't expect it to be very nice for the price but I was still surprised at the low quality. One of the three small screwdrivers was broken (see product user pics) and the rest isn't something you'd really want if you're looking for a good quality watch tool kit. I wouldn't recommend this product.

the band is ok, the pins that attach to the watch are cheaply made and I lost my watch.... not good....

Not even close to the color in the picture. Sent it back.

Absolutely worthless. The spring bar was designed to be too short so it will never stay on the watch. Worst purchase I ever made. Into the trash it goes.

wouldn't work on any watch I had

Very good for the price.

Pros: It is leatherCons: The leather is so brown it almost looks black, the buckle is not even remotely stainless nor it is the shape pictured, the stitching is not white and the overall quality is just ok.
