This strap looks very nice, is comfortable, well finished and smells/feels like real leather.Supple enough that no break-in period is required.For less than $20 I think it's a great value.Recommended.

Nice band... arrived on time

Easily fitted, feels good quality. I have had other straps where the surface soon appears to show creases but this seems more robust without being overly stiff.Some brands have calf lining, this one doesn’t and I think it’s better without.I bought black and I would say it isn’t jet black but has a hint of dark brown, I like that but others may be disappointed ; however the shade isn’t obvious.

TL;DR, spend a couple more bucks and get a Barton or Ritche.This watch band has all the appearances of a good quality and affordable leather watch band; something that; on paper anyway, should be really easy to do. It's far too thin for a sports watch, chronograph, or diver; but at the same time not really "nice enough" for a dress watch. On appearances, the band looks good on initial impressions. However, due to the extremely thin leather they use, it delaminates exceptionally quickly around where you are going to buckle it. It is extremely comfortable because of this; so your priorities may be different. The spring bars are also a hair short for the 20mm band I purchased, which does not instill a long term confidence. The buckle assembly is firmly fine though. It tapers well, but at the end of the day, there is no free lunch; both Barton and Ritche provide superior products for not a whole lot more money.

Upon opening the package, the pleasant smell of real leather greets you like waking in to a boot or saddle store. No imitation leather here or a small sliver so "genuine" could be stamped on it.I only had to work each strap side for about 10 minutes and then it was pliable enough to wear. After a day's wear, the stap is nicely pliable and soft.Clasp is on an east to access spring bar if you want to swap it out with the original clasp that came with your watch.

I initially bought this to try out brown leather on my sbga211g and instantly fell in love. The smell of real leather greets you as soon as you open the packaging and it looks incredible. The strap is not overly thick and easily fit a 7.25 inch wrist. It is a deep caramel brown color that complements lighter dial colors very well. Being that it is crazy horse leather and is so inexpensive, the material is very susceptible to scratching but these scratches can be darkened simply by getting some water on your finger and rubbing it into the scratch. I don’t see this strap lasting for years (any strap will degrade over time), but it is so cheap to replace that’s really a non-issue for me. Do yourself a favor and buy a single fold deployant clasp to go with this strap. It will make it last much longer.
