Screw Fit, Leather Replacement Watch Band for Skagen Watches, 5 Colors

This is a very good Skagen replacement leather band. There are no screw holes but you can screw them right into the leather. You must supply your own screws, perhaps the old ones that you have.

This is a great watch band and is easy to install, but the screws are tiny so you'll need a small screwdriver and good eyesight. It's attractive and fit perfectly. I wish they were cheaper as they wear out in about a year. This is the third one I've purchased.

I had a professional jewler replace the band. This band did not have holes for the screws, so he just screwed the screws through the leather, and it seems to work okay. My wife has a Bering watch and the watchband was a terrible nuisance: it fell apart every time she took off the watch. It now has a Skagen watchband and it works great so far. The Bering watchband had molded holes in it; the Skagen band now has holes in it made by the screws. The Bering watch is good and it now has a good watchband that buckles on. Before he screwed it on, the jewler cut off part of the watchband so it would not be too long--the band only came in one length, so he had to cut off the part where the holes would have been.

The watch band fit perfectly.

Needed a replacement watch band for my Skagen model 856XLSLC, which has screw-type connection. I ordered a 26mm size based on the width of the original band, and the delivery was on time from Amazon. The replacement kit contained a band set and a screw driver with screws for attaching the band to the watch. The width of the replacement band was slightly larger than the attachment slot, so the edges were trimmed by about 0.5 mm on both sides to fit inside the slot. The screws went in easily and the band was secured to the watch. This replacement band material is more flexible than the original band, which makes it easier to put on the wrist. I like it better than the original.

The band fits and feels like the original band which is good, BUT I should’ve read the description better. The original band was a 30mm at the face but got skinnier at the hasp or buckle. This being wide the whole way around makes the watch feel clunkier than the original intent of the band. It was hard to find a good description of the bands on the site.

I was trying to order straps for a Bering brand watch. Apparently they are very similar to Skagen watches. Installing the new straps was pretty easy. At first I imagined I would have to punch holes in the strap but, no. Just drive the screws right through the leather. Easy. I would have replaced the new Skagen buckle with the old Bering buckle because it had ‘Bering’ etched on it. But the old buckle was too wide by about a millimeter. So the Skagen strap narrows at the buckle a little more than the Bering strap. Nevertheless, the new straps look like they are made for the watch. It looks brand new now.

I searched for weeks for a band to fit my favorite Skagen watch. This band fit nicely on a Skagen women’s watch that required a band that screwed in to attach to the watch face. The most difficult part of the process was to determine the correct size. If you take the watch to a jeweler, they can measure the size you need in millimeters. If you have a small enough Phillips screwdriver, you can attach it yourself. If not, a jeweler can attach it for you. Band is very soft, nice leather.
