Nice looking, comfortable replacement.
Update: after about 15 months of constant wear, one of the loops that holds the end of the watch strap finally broke... I liked the band so much that I ordered the same band as a replacement. I wear this watch constantly - 15+ hours a day most days and the band help up very well over all that time.Original review: The leather band on my Timex was starting to fall apart, so I needed to get a replacement. I took a look at the bands available in several local stores but didn't see anything I liked, so I decided to look online. After reading reviews of several different watch bands from different manufacturers I decided to give this one a try. I have only had it for a few days so I can't speak to how well it will hold up over time, but I'm cautiously optimistic.The package contains only the watch strap; no pins are included. This was expected, and is important to make note of: you must either purchase new pins, or reuse the pins from the strap being replaced, which is what I did. Replacing the strap was very straightforward; I recommend having a small, thin-bladed, flat-edge screwdriver to help with removing the existing one and putting the new one in place.It is a nice looking strap - the pictures of the strap on Amazon are accurate.I have seen some reviews of other replacement watch straps that talk about the material being too stiff/unyielding; that is not the case with this one. The leather is soft without being too "floppy" and fits comfortably around my wrist (which is about 8.5 inches around). If you have a larger wrist you may find this band to be too short, but it fits me just fine.

Nice looks
I really like the looks which is vintage and a bit worn out. Leather is soft and good quality, perfect match for this Orient three star. The band enhances this affordable watch that has a bad bracelet

Nice quality strap for Seiko 5
I've been using these straps for about 4 months now and I have no complaints. They've held up, are wearing nicely, and feel comfortable on my wrist. For the record, I have thinner wrists and these fit me with plenty of room--I imagine they'd be fine for guys with thicker wrists as well.I use this band with my Seiko 5 in cream face and it goes perfectly well with a suit or just in my day to day work attire. I was having a hell of a time trying to find a quality leather watch that would ruin my bank account and this one absolutely did the trick. For the record, this isn't a particularly this band either if that's the look you're going for, but not so thin that it's going to get mistaken for a bracelet or something.I'd definitely buy it again.

Good replacement watch bands
I have purchased a few of these watchbands as replacements for the original bands my Wenger / Swiss Army watches. The width (22 mm) was accurate and the padded leather band is of similar quality to the original. I replaced the fastener with the original Swiss Army branded clasp. The only problem I've had with these is getting the length right. This one is a bit short - I'm on the last notch. Should have ordered the longer version but the last time I did that it ended up too long. All in all an attractive band that accents a Swiss Army watch nicely. Comfortable to wear and lasts a long time. One caution. These bands darken over time with exposure to water, sweat. dirt, oil and grease, etc. I usually replace them when they start looking pretty bad which doesn't take me that long since I wear them outside hunting, fishing, rafting, wood cutting, etc. They last a lot longer when worn indoors. I took off one star because of sizing issues. They are either tool long or too short for me. They are also a bit expensive for what they are.

Whooo
This was a great band for my seiko watch. I personally thought that the original band that came with the watch was a little flashy and cheap. This leather band complemented really well with the watch color along with my wrist. I have very small wrists for a guy so I was surprised that these fit without having to re purchase another band.The watch and the leather band was originally recommended to me from someone on the internet and I had doubts about it at first. With the pictures posted on how the watch looked with this band, I had to buy it-especially that I had a gift card to spend it on. I bought this product late of 2015 and now that its February 2016, the band still looks relatively new with a couple wear and tear from wearing it constantly. Specifically, you see the bends where the band wraps around my wrist and the hole has been stretched due to constant usage.The color of the band itself is more of a dark redish leather than brown in my opinion. It does have more of a brown hue though now that I think of it, but it doesnt matter, still a great band for a great price. I would recommend!Overall nice quality leather strap for the price. Made in China. Sadly, mine has a small blemish on one of the loops. This isn't very noticeable though. Also, it is very short, fitting my ~7in. wrist snugly on the second to last loop. I notice that the stitching on the end of the perforated strap had an imperfection. The stitching wasn't didn't follow along the lines like you see in the product photo.It's a watch strap, runs short but it's a narrow band. Got it for a cheapy military Seiko and it fits and looks good. I use the last hole or two, but I had a feeling I would as it is a very narrow band in the scheme fo things. Probably figure it's for a smaller wrist like a junior or a woman, but it gets the job done.

Looks Great, Decent Quality
I bought this to replace a leather watch band that I could not get from the original manufacturer. From what I could find, this is probably the best looking leather band at this price point. The quality is decent, I did have the leather begin to peel up from the band on the end that has the holes for the buckle. Specifically, it came from tucking the band through the straps after buckling the band. This did not reduce the great looks of the band, but made me question the quality. I do want to point out that I still use the band and it functions correctly. I just wonder about the longevity of the band.
