Anyone have experience with Juuk bands? I’m looking for a nice metal one, and the Vitero aluminum looks good to me. Worth the money? I got a cheap titanium band on Amazon and it was garbage, so I returned it right away. I realized if I want something nice I’m probably going to have to pay $150-200 and I don’t mind doing that if it will last several years.

I’ve had a couple Vitero bands. I think the quality is nice and the band is pretty light for a metal band since it is aluminum. It can be a pain to size the band but they give you all the tools to do it. Just go slow. I’ve been impressed with Juuk bands.

I'm still waiting for mine. It got delayed twice. It's finally supposed to come today but we'll see. It solid stainless, so it will be pretty heavy. The stainless ones use screws and they include the little screwdriver, so I don't think it will be that bad to adjust.

Finally arrived!! Soooo nice. Quite hefty, but it makes the watch feel luxurious.

I orient my band so that the Junk logo is facing up when putting my wrist up. It looks nice. Congrats. Now I'm thinking about getting a brushed steel Vitero for my Titanium watch. *sigh*

The brushed steel is so nice. I love the weight of it. It makes the watch feel like a piece of jewelry. I found it felt kind of like a toy with the stock one.

Yeah, the logo up would be better, but I wasn't paying attention when I installed it. I'll probably swap it at some point.

Juuk had a Labor Day sale. Brushed Steel Vitero is ordered. Since it's coming from HK, it'll take a little while to get here.
Nice! I was tempted by that one, but decided I wanted something a little more “traditional”. Post pics when it arrives!

My new Juuk bands arrived in only a couple days all the way from HK! This is the 44/45mm Vitero Brushed Steel band on a natural Titanium watch. The band is slightly shinier than the natural Titanium but the band color still has fabulous depth in the brushed steel look. It's definitely pretty heavy. Heavier than the Titanium watch casing, for sure. Adjusting the band is very easy because the packages includes the tool. They are high-quality screws so they are very easy to remove and put back. Much easier than the Juuk aluminum bands. I like this design the best of the Steel bands they offer.

Looks gorgeous! Congrats. I love the brushed look with the polished sides on these bands.
