Separately available clasps require pins at both ends to mount, while the traditional bands with a buckle have only one available. I went as far as drilling a sub-mm channel across the band, but it weakened the band too much. I know add-on continuous clasps exist (some shown on your link), but they usually require feeding the long end under a loop like a traditional buckle, which largely undermines their advantages. They are also too think to me... | |

The problem is the clasp: I can't stand pin-and-holes clasps (like belts) that come with virtually all silicone and leather bands. (Or anything that takes more than 1 second to put on or remove). I had one with the 'expanding' clasp before, but really struggled to find one now (esp. for the price that wouldn't exceed the cost of the watches themselves). | |
