SONGDU Quick Release Leather Watch Band, Full Grain Genuine Leather Replacement Watch Strap with Stainless Metal Buckle Clasp 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm

I will start off by saying this watch strap will fit a Timex Indiglo watch just perfectly; or any watch with18mm width between the lugs. It feels and looks a bit thicker than the last strap I purchased. All thestitching was tight, in place and not a loose thread anywhere.:: Statistics :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :::: Lug Width: 18mm (Lugs are part of the watch that holds the spring bars):: Buckle Strap Length: 3-1/2 inches:: Non-buckle Strap Length: 4-3/4 inches:: Strap Keepers: 2; 1 sliding and 1 fixedThe real nice part of this strap is the spring bars that are already inserted into the strap ends. Plus thespring bars have a small tip protruding from the bar that you use to pull the spring back so you mayinsert the end of the bar into the lug hole.When you receive the strap it comes in a 3.5 inch by 6 inch black box with silver script and each strapsection is in its own spot. Included is a small tool. The tip of the tool is V-notched so you can move thetips of the spring bars with ease and install the strap with little to no drama.The strap was a bit stiff on first use but after several uses it became easier to get the watch on the wristwithout fighting the strap. I think it just needed to loosen up and mold itself to my wrist. In a few days itwas easy on and easy off.Well, that’s it, 5 stars for the hassle-free installation of the Songdu watch strap. I would buy another.

When the wrist band broke on my favorite Timex watch after four years of every day use I checked the price of a Timex replacement band. Wow! over one half the price of a new Timex. So I purchased the exact watch with the large dial. I then began to search for bands other than Timex replacements. After spotting this band for $10 and reading the reviews I decided to buy it. I now own two identical Timex watches. However, I am wearing the old watch with this new band. It looks better...it feels better and the quality is as good as the original, if not better.

Here's my review on the watch strap just after taking it out of the box and applying it to my LG Style. Like other reviewers said, the straps are really thicc and it's a little hard to bend and put the watch on your wrist for the first few times. I'm assuming it'll get better with use. I ordered the white one and it came with a few tiny scuffs but it's chill. Surprisingly the strap is long (compared to my other straps)! On my wrist I have to use the smallest hole which thankfully is the perfect size. It seems comfortable and I like it so far, will update with use.EDIT: After about 2 weeks of daily usage, the strap has a few more scuffs on it, but it's probably just more noticeable because I got the white one. The straps did end up bending easier as I used it.!

TLDR: comfort is quite good after a short break-in period and colors are stylish and accurateI purchased both the dark brown and black watch bands for my Fossil Q Sport smartwatch as they were the best looking while beeing the most affordable. I am pleased to report that they look quite nice and the product pictures represent the real-life products with great accuracy. I would recommend putting the band on your watch, buckling it tight, and leaving it overnight to break it in, as it arrives straight as a board. After that and a few uses, the band was sufficiently broken in and was quite comfortable. All in all, I am pleased with the bands I have received, so much so that I may purchase the light brown one in the future.

This is truly excellent quality for the price, or for any reasonable price. I've worn leather-band watches for decades because I prefer them, but of course the bands don't last Forever. I've bought quite a few over the years, from various vendors, mostly satisfactory, some very disappointing, but all more expensive than this. One of the most disappointing cost more than three times as much, and most were around $20. This appears to be fine quality, a bit more generous in length than most; I'm a little big for Regular, but Long tends to be more than I like; this one is just about perfect.Beautifully packaged, includes the tiny tool to remove the old band, and includes ingenious pins with a little knob so the tool isn't needed at all to install it!I didn't rate durability because I just got it today, but it looks and feels like good leather, and the pictures on the Amazon page indicate it has synthetic material inside, which I imagine will make it last even longer. The workmanship is all that I could ask for, and the appearance is exactly what I like. One review called it "stiff"; I disagree, most new leather bands are stiffer than this one.The smallest quibble: it doesn't seem to be available with a "gold" (yellow metal) buckle but neither did the last two I bought elsewhere (years ago one favorite vendor included both white and yellow buckles, but no more).

will update as to how the band wears. the band itsel looks good, has the smell of leather and the pins, w/ "quick release" seem like a good idea. but when I went to install, I found the pins that came with the band were shorter than the ones I was replacing. as i've read others have had problems w/ the band popping off, i simply re-used the pins that were already on the watch. getting the quick release out and re-using old pins was more difficult than you might envision as the new, shorter pins, are sewn in and the quick release mechanism is not easy to slide through. good price but pins/challenges mean i will probably look elsewhere when time to replace this one
