A few years back, I got a Pebble Steel. Some years later, I also got myself a Leatherman Tread LT. The two obviously needed to be put together, using the Tread as the watchband for the Pebble. Unfortunately, the Pebble had a weird band attachment, which led me to try to mush two Thingiverse designs (a Pebble NATO attachment and a Tread watch attachment) into something that almost worked. Ultimately the plastic proved too brittle, and I got distracted by other things.

Fast forward a few years, and my Pebble, quite sadly, is a bit unhealthy. As a replacement, I received a Watchy with an Armadillonium case. So the question reemerged. This time, I pushed back the not-invented-here syndrome, and looked around for existing solutions. I discovered ChronoLinks, which looked perfect, but I wasn’t sure whether they would fit my case. At the price tag, I didn’t want to risk it.

Ultimately, I resorted to searching on eBay, then AliBaba, and found something that looked like it would do the job, at a price that wouldn’t make me too sad if it didn’t.

tl;dr: It did! (mostly)
