Beautiful strap, great quality. Designed to show wear
This strap just arrived today, and I immediately put it on. Out of the box (bag) the leather is a little stiff but that’s to be expected. The strap is on the thicker side, which gives it a really great feeling of quality and durability. There are other reviews that I’ve noted that the strap shows signs of use almost immediately. This is, in my opinion, a feature and not a bug. The leather stretches, revealing signs of wear, giving a great “vintage” look.If you are looking to replace a strap on a dress watch that you want to look perfect, this is not the strap for you. But if you are going to use it on a casual/sporty/everyday watch, then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

This is going to take patience!
Like: quality, fit. Easy to install on WATCH due to quick release feature.Problem: Not so easy to install on wrist. The holes for the latch are smaller than the pin, which I suppose is by design because leather stretches. But this is the first band that I could not get latched after many minutes of trying.The only way I am making progress is with taking the band in hand and forcing the pin through the hole I need and wiggling it around in an effort to elongate the hole some. With my best effort it is very hard to push the pin through off the wrist and almost impossible to try to latch it to your wrist. I have finally go it on my wrist after about 10 frustrating minutes.I believe I am still going to need to make the hole larger by some means which I dislike doing. I would send it back but it's a cool band and I want to make it work.Once latched, it is very difficult to get the loose end through the loops. But I think that will get better after it softens up a bit. That was another 10 minutes. The band is very stiff out of the package.Will update this review after I try to loosen things up.

Could not believe the quality for the price!
I’m always skeptical to buy leather products that are really inexpensive. When I received it, it felt a little stiff but I knew I needed to give it time for it to become softer. I was very pleased with the color, the size and the thickness of the straps. I almost had to send it back because I struggled putting the straps on the watch. I realized that the pins were the tiniest little too big. I used the pins from the straps I was replacing. Another issue I had was with the pockets where the pins go. They were stiff so I had to press the leather to be able to manipulate it to fit between the prongs of the watch.All in all, I’m glad I was able to make it work. I LOVE the straps. They’ve gotten wet and they are still holding strong. It still looks like they are new and I’ve had them for over 2 months. I wear them almost 24/7. Honestly, if I had another watch, I would buy it again. TOTALLY worth it!!

Great replacement band!
Needed a replacement band for my Timex Expedition watch. The band that comes with it is lesser quality than the watch itself. Timex was out of stock and couldn’t find one anywhere. Saw this off-brand replacement in a search. Glad I got it! Much better quality leather, construction, and more durable than Timex’s original band. Not a high-end watch, but nice casual style. This band steps up its quality over its original form many fold. Highly recommended.

So far so good!
I’ve only had this band on my Apple Watch for a couple months, but so far it’s held up beautifully and is starting to develop a little patina as well. I am hopeful that it will last for many years, but only time will tell. However, at least for the moment, it looks and feels great and I highly recommend it.

Give it time
I like this band. It seems to be made well and was very easy to attach to my 20mm lug (Seiko). It was stiff at first, but after a few days it is very comfortable. The color was just like the picture as well.

Works with Casio W-201, good enough for me
Got tired of the standard resin bands on my Casio W-201 crumbling to pieces and being unmendable to any reliable degree, so decided to try a third party band of a more durable material. I received this leather band today and it seems fine. It's not poor quality and it's not a luxury band either. It functions as a replacement that isn't uncomfortable or fragile, and that's all I need it to do. The 18mm size fits into the Casio W-201 with no problems, and comes with quick release springbars so installation is quick and easy with no extra tools needed. The leather is stiff but I imagine it will become softer as I break it in over time like with most other leather products. We'll see how it holds up for $20, with the low price I wouldn't be too shocked if I notice frayed or loosening threads later, but at least I can try to mend it myself in that case. My only concern is if the quick release mechanism in the springbars ever malfunctions, I'll have an interesting time getting them out of the band and replaced. But for now, the band serves its purpose.

Easy to install
Seems to be a durable watch band I just got it so I can't speak to durability.

Pierde el color con el primer uso
La piel se siente muy suave, el largo de la correa es adecuado para muñecas delgadas, la hebilla es brillante. Sin embargo, con la primer puesta perdió el color, las pequeñas bandas para sujetar la correa al colocarse el reloj en la muñeca quedan demasiado flojas y hace que la correa se salga con el paso de las horas, desde el primer uso queda muy notoria la marca de uso que hace la hebilla al abrochar la correa.

OTRA TALLA
ME LLEGO CON LA MEDIDA DE LA CARATULA (MEDIDA CON VERNIER) Y QUEDO CHICA... Y COMO ADICIONAL LA HEBILLA ES MUUUUUUUUUUY POBRE DE CALIDAD, LOS OTROS MATERIALES ESTAB BIEN. LA DEVOLVI Y NO TUVE PROBLEMAS (OJO LA ESTRELLA ES POR EL TIEMPO PERDIDO, NO POR QUE SEA ALGO MALO EN GENERAL)

Pernos chicos/delgados
Sinceramente el material no vale los $500. Además, el perno en las puntas, es muy delgado. No le quedó a mi reloj, se safa y eso que es de la medida correcta. Si tu reloj tiene los orificios dónde lleva los pernos finos/delgados le va a quedar. Si es como el mío un poco más amplio, no se van a safar sin fuerza.

Material de buena calidad
Con un ligero corte, la adapté para este Casio Royale, la correa es de 24 mm.En general es de buena calidad la manufactura y el material. Satisfecho con la compra.
