I'll try and keep this short and provide as much information as possible.

HappyCell Link Bracelet: $49.99 (Silver)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012ICBLW8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Quality: I received the link bracelet today and took it to my stepdad who has been in the watch repair business for many years for his opinion. He gave a nod of approval for the quality of this link bracelet. Even mentioned how the pins/links are Movado style.

On to potential questions you guys may have:

How does it look?

Is the butterfly clasp secure?

Yes. Again had stepdad examine it and he said its of good quality

Is the butterfly clasp flush with the bracelet?

almost 100% flush. You don't feel it when you wear it.

Does the watch connector of the band fit the watch properly?

Yes. No gaps, no misalignment. takes a little bit more effort to put the strap on than it would compared to Apple's original but hey for $400.00 less I'm ok with that.


Anything you don't like about it? As you can see in picture 3 there is a slight gap between the links. On the Silver band this is fine but it's a bit noticeable on the black bracelet. This actually doesn't bug me one bit but I'm sure it will bug someone.

In case someone is wondering. I have a clear Monoy case on top of the watch that covers the edges and the screen.

Good threak, i've got the Hoko or Moko version. I love it, it's hard for me to use other bands now to be honest. It's very comfortable.

Yeah I wear it pretty much exclusively now. Love it. Wasted so much money on all those other bands I have.
Can you get some pics up? Or if you have a review thread that works too. Lol sorry for being annoying.

Alright thanks for the help, gonna go for it.
Awesome. Just a heads up, don't use the tool that comes with it to push the pins down. Stick a sharp knife point in there and push the pin down while pulling the link off. It can be a pain in the ass before you get used to it, I can actually do it pretty easily now. Luckily you only have to do it once! Hope you enjoy the band as much as I do.
