Two stars may be a bit harsh, but this is really more of a faff to use than anything. The problem is that the portion where you select a hole on the tongue does not "click in." As a result, I have to re -thread the tongue and select a hole every single time I want to wear the watch, which completely defeats the normally easy of use of the deployant clasp (there are others here who reported the same). The frustrating thing is I am also using a Fluco watch band (which is great) so you would think it would work. It looks great and once seated and on the wrist, it is great. However, so would the basic watch band. As this was completely unneeded for the functionality of the watch band and does not do what it is meant to do, I will likely remove it from my watch. Btw, I have several watches with the manufacturer's deployant which work great; its just that this watch is a basic seiko so it came with a basic band, and I tried to upgrade with this deployant...which didnt work
I don't really have the criteria to really evaluate this product because it is the first clasp of this type I've experienced, but I have to say it feels great; it is very solid and secure. It feels serious put together in the DeBeer sports leather strap....it works AWESOME for me!!
This seems to be a fairly high quality clasp. The mechanism isn't as smooth as others that I've used, which is why I've deducted one star. Other than that, the workmanship seems good. The steel is polished to a very high shine. The reason I chose this clasp is that it advertises a 4mm thickness, and it delivers. I am able to use it with my 4mm-thick 18-mm Hirsch Liberty Strap. It was a tight fit (I actually used a pair of pliers to pull the buckle end through the clasp), but it appears sturdy and is comfortable.
Given the price, and all things considered, I'm quite happy with this clasp.
Good price and well made German product. A bit chunky. The butterfly design that allows it to fold from both sides, spreads the underside of the the clasp across the middle of your wrist, which is flat, as opposed to the edge of the wrist, which is obviously rounded. This makes the head of the watch sit better on the top of your wrist and not tend to roll away from you. It can be pretty sharp and dig into your skin if you like to wear it tight, so that is somewhat unpleasant. Overall, I would recommend - it can really prolong the life of your strap when compared to a tang clasp.
