Dura Straps Leather Watch Band Waterproof Straps for Men and Women with Elegant Stitches

I purchased this for a Timex Automatic watch which had came equipped with a metal bracelet. I saw the image of the black strap with blue stitching, and realized how it would complement the black dial and unique blue seconds hand. The strap came with new spring bars, and I already owned the correct tool for compressing them, so removing the old bracelet and installing the new strap was pretty straightforward and only took a few minutes. I performed the operation on a towel spread on my glass stovetop. If you DON'T own a springbar tool, I recommend ordering one when you order your new strap, as it allows you to remove your old strap/bracelet without scratching up your watch.Installed, the strap looks excellent, and makes the (admittedly already handsome) Timex look like a MUCH more expensive watch. I wear the buckle adjusted to the third hole from the watch (of the seven available), and it fits comfortably on my 7 inch wrist, with just a little slack so my wrist can breathe.The materials appear to be good quality throughout and assembled with good workmanship. The buckle is nicely polished stainless steel, and compliments the polished areas of the watch case. The leather has the same finished black grain top and bottom (that is, the part you can see and the part that is against your wrist), and the blue accent stitching is straight and evenly spaced. This isn't just a cheap replacement strap for cheap watches, the strap is good enough that it would be appropriate even on an expensive watch.The only caveat might be that people with larger wrists might need a slightly longer size. It fits fine on my 7 inch wrist, and a 7 1/2 inch would be fine too. There are four more holes available for larger than 7 inch adjustment but if the strap were adjusted for an 8 inch wrist, there wouldn't be a whole lot of "tail" through the buckle to go under the two leather keepers. Perhaps the manufacturers could consider offering a "standard" and a "long" size (perhaps another 10mm length)?

Using it almost every day, the band is still in very good condition.

Leather strip is nice and soft. I really like it except the package it came in was really really cheap for $27! The strips and nothing else was package in a clear cheap plastic bag. I have purchased other leather watch strip on here for 1/2 the price and it came in a nice box with a free push pin remover and pins.

this is a great band.. looks more expensive than it is.. but it is quite short. i can JUST get it in the last hole on a 44mm watch with my 7.5" wrist.

Nice band for my Seiko watch but too short, needs to be another 1 1/2 inches longer

Looks and feels true to description. Seems like a good value for the price. Will update once I've had a chance to wear for a bit.

Band met my expectations and matched watch handsomely.

Purchased this Watch Band as a replacement for a Jorge Gray watch. The thickness of the band is satisfactory, the delivery was as promised,and it works elegantly with watch. It as if I have a new watch. Extremely satisfied. Photo attached.
