Any photos?
Thanks...

Great to hear that. I also ordered some weeks back and am waiting for them to arrive.

Thanks for the information!

Clasp torx rod

For any of you with the aftermarket bands, can you tell me if the clasp/buckle is a torx rod like on the OEM straps or a push pin?

I have bought some cheep straps in the past that came with pushpins on the clasp/buckle.

The below pict has an arrow dipicting the torx rod.

I ask because the aftermarket online picts show a pushpin style.

Thanks for the info!

Does that include the torqx screws on the buckle? As per LeanMeanGreen's question?

Good but not the same

I also just received mine and while it's great for the price, it definitely isn't the same. The main differences are:
- The clip mechanism is a little bit thinner and narrower, and it screws down with little phillips head fasteners rather than torx screws.
- The band is a little bit more flexible (which isn't necessarily bad, but might affect longevity)
- The triangle on the buckle is an isosceles rather than an equilateral (picky, i know)
- The buckle secures with a push pin rather than a torx rod. This is probably my biggest concern.

Overall it's decent for the price, and perfectly sufficient for casual/occasional use. I probably won't be using it for many activities though, and definitely not for an ocean swim!
