Folded Stainless Steel Watch Bands - Small sheets of metal are folded to make the links of the band. The folded links are then visible (Standard) or covered (Solid-Look) at the side of the band. Folded stainless steel bands are more widely available, lighter and tend to be less expensive than bands with solid links.

Solid Stainless Steel Watch Bands - The links for this type of band are made from a complete piece of stainless steel. Solid stainless steel watch bands are predominantly very robust and are finished to a high standard.
