Not worth the money.
The strap has the look that you want, but thats as far as it goes. The brown is lighter than you think. The second loop is hugely oversized and doesn't keep the extra strap contained. Its also the thinnest piece of suede ever and feels cheap. Would not recommend. Spend a little extra and get a real strap.

Nice suede, soft band, looks casually classy.
I bought the gray 20mm. Great strap for the price. It's a very nice, soft suede finish, and it has the expected 'nap' where you can brush it up and it's lighter, and down and it's darker. The entire strap is also very flexible, no break-in required. Mine fits my 20mm watches' lugs perfectly. The only negative thing I can say is the stitching on the front is a bit uneven, and on both the top and bottom half, there's a little nylon thread end poking out of the 2nd-from-right stitch hole. You can easily feel it. It makes the hole look darker/larger, which adds to the uneven stitching impression. Overall, the strap does give a nice sophisticated casual look to my stainless blue face watch. I also wish they would make a 21mm version, I have two watches that could use a black or tobacco suede strap.

More Comfy than the Garmin VivioActive Music 3 Silicone Band
so first off, the screw driver is not included, guess i was misled by the images but thought it would be since my other bands came with tools. but you don't need it to install only to remove your old one unless it has the little sliding bar thingy like Fossil watch bands have. my Garmin Vivoactive Music also has the slide bar to remove, so i was fine.the Garmin version of this band was $60 and had the matching rose hardware. as hard on bands as i am, i couldn't justify it, even on sale for $39. this buckles nicely, and has 2 band tethers (whatever they're called). it is comfortable, but i would prefer suede on both sides. still, am allergic to silicone, so this is a much better option. at $20 though, it should have had BOTH band pins and mine had one only. i was able to scrounge through old watch bands and find one, but i shouldn't have had to do that.the grey i bought doesn't match the Garmin watch face/plastics unless you brush to the dark side, then it kind of does. only other complaint is the band keeper has a seem that irritates my skin and doesn't feel like real suede. over all i'd give this 3.0 for comfort, 4 for install ease (no tool didn't effect installation), and 2 stars for only have one pin when clearly 2 are necessary.

Quality band, but not quick release
This looks and feels like a quality band. The underside is a light brown, soft, genuine leather, and the visible side is a soft and fuzzy suede. I got the grey, and it's a nice and light silvery grey, similar to the picture. Unfortunately, I have yet to actually try it on my watch (although I promise to update my review when I do). This band doesn't have quick release lugs, and it also doesn't come with the tool to remove the band. I feel this is important because most people right now, myself included, are buying bands for their smart watches and are changing them quite frequently. I'm only taking one star because I really haven't tried it yet, and I'm hoping that when I get the tool, it'll be easy to remove, or I can cut a slit and put some quick release lugs in there. It also does seem like a quality band besides that one drawback.

Word to the wise
This was really disappointing. The description implies that the band is made of one strip of suede on top and a strip of leather underneath. Making it sound like it's all leather and suede. They fail to mention the thick layer of silicone in between. I should have known better by the price so, my bad. All the same it's not what I wanted. It does look good if you don't stare to hard at it. I'm unsure about the quality though. Lol

It's not bad.
Decided to try a new band on my quartz Tissot Visodate.I won't bore with a long review. It's not a bad band. I actually got a compliment on it, but I'm just not personally feeling it. I can't give it 5 stars just because I feel like it's too thick. That's the only negative I can think of.

Missing one of the sprinbar.
The good: Super fast shipping by amazon, arrived the next day after order. The suede side seems pretty hairy and legit, so as the thickness, nice and chunky.The bad: one of the spring bar is missing on arrival. not a deal breaker not a perfection either. Fitment is bit off on the Non-buckle end of the strap, not exactly 20mm, more like 21mm, had to squeeze them in.Don't want to bother with return, not worth the trip or time, but overall a bit disappointed.

Beautiful strap with a great mixture of a deep blue and a suede textured look
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. The only thing I would’ve preferred is a quick release option. The watch goes great with a blue dial watch or a white one. I have a rose gold and white dial watch and the amount of compliments I get is unbelievable.Can’t say much about the quality but for the price I think it’s definitely worth it.Update- strap is holding up well a few months later but the free loop is way too big and it doesn’t secure the strap when being worn. Wish this loop was a bit smaller to hold the strap in place

Calidad impresionante
Recibí la correa en tamaño 22mm si tu reloj es de 21 mm con una pequeña lima te recomiendo reducir el tamaño en los lados. La correa es de calidad premium, muy suave desde el inicio y bastante resistente. Ideal para mi Oris Sixty Five.
