Superb quality
I've been dealing with a lot of old watches lately; this is the second time I've replaced an original watchband that was a cheap flex from another company with a Speidel flex. The Speidels are exceedingly well made compared to some of the cheap bands I've dealt with recently.I do NOT know about resizing them, haven't needed to. Installation is the same as for every other watchband AFAIK, no complaints there. Can't be sure how well the two Speidels I've bought recently will last. I do know that they are very well made compared to other bands--attractive, strong, very flexible, and they look like they're going to be VERY satisfactory in daily use. I'd recommend them without question, especially if someone is wondering about spending the extra couple of dollars over a cheaper band. Getting the Speidel is definitely worth a bit more money--it'll pay off in longer life and greater comfort IMO.

Very nice
Replaced the watch band on my Timex Indiglo watch. Took a bit to figure out the best way to hook the band to the watch. Best was to get one side of the band into the watch, then compress and do the other side of the band leaving the pin exposed. With both end of the band into the watch, then compress the pin and slide it into place. This band is narrower than my original band. And was half the price of replacing my watch which still worked. My wrist is 7 1/2" around and this band holds the watch in place with very little expansion and did not have to shorten the band. My watch was 1 5/16" from pin center to pin center.

Very comfortable
Watch the width of the strap vs the size of the watch. I first ordered a larger version of this Speidel that actually wouldn't fit. So I ordered this one. It is so narrow it looks odd. Fortunately I don't care that much so it's a keeper for me. I just want to warn others that the width of the band is something to pay attention to.Removing the leather wrist band from my watch was very easy. Installing this one was equally easy. It came with two sizes of pins (4 in all).As soon as I put it on I was very pleased. It fits snug and stays in place. All normal-clasp non stretch bands don't stay in place on my wrist. This band is very comfortable.

No buckles
I am not able to use regular buckle type watchbands and I have been using twist o flex bands from other manufacturers and I like them. Since I think (Don't know for sure) Spidel invented this type of band gives me the impression that this band would be a better and longer lasting band.

Quality from the start
Speidel makes some of the best watch bands on the market. I’ve been wearing them for over 50 years. The quality is sensational. My wrist size is hard to fit. The regular band is too short and the xl is too long. Shortening the band is not hard to do. I used a pair of tweezers and a small straight blade screwdriver and removed 4 links in about 3 minutes and you have to look really hard to see where the band was shortened. I would definitely buy again but this band will probably be the last one I’ll need to buy.

Quality is questionable, but it looks the part
I like it, it is as described, but the quality isn't great.Installing it on a small lug width watch is difficult.I'm good at fiddly things like that so it's not from lack of experience or clumbsiness or anything.Removing lengths from the strap is also not confidence inspiring.I'd say, don't use this on a watch you want total security for...or one that you intend to keep changing straps on

Twist-o-flex is still the bench-market for ease of use and comfort
Replaced the canvas strap on my new Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Now it's the perfect daily wrist watch. Solar powered, easy to read and easy on/off. No pinching and comfortable.

Just Like Speidels of Old
It is hard to beat a twist-o-flex for comfort. With my old eyes, it was a chore to take out the links I needed to remove, but I managed. Now I have a comfortable, sharp looking band on my Pulsar.
