Men's Swiss Army Style Watchband - Color Brown Size: 18mm Watch Band - by JP Leatherworks

What more do you want in a review? This is a very comfortable band that is a great match to the gun-metal gray of my watch. I was bummed I couldn't find the exact band that came with the watch, but I've grown to like this one even more.

As pictured and described.Very basic strap. Looks great by itself but when attached to the watch, it somehow feels lacking. The webbing is strong and leather tabs are stiff and adequate but are thin like a veneer - just thick enough to last for as much as you paid for it. The whole watchband is only as wide as the pin width. I think most original watchbands are wider, especially near the (round) watch. So, that being said, I think it's OK and works for me on my casual knock-around 3 year old Timex Expedition.

I recommend this product, It is well made, resistent, nice look, I use all day, nice product, nice price and amazing.

This band is will not shock and awe people with it's fit and finish. It's a plain brown band that seems sturdy enough. Didn't come with the hardware to mount it to the watch body or else would have gotten 5 stars. Overall, I'd buy another if I needed too.

I was disappointed when I received this product. The product description states that the band material is leather. In fact, a small portion of the band is leather (the tips), the majority of the band is a woven nylon material. The product photo is such that you cannot see that there are two materials. It looks OK, but it is not what I thought I was ordering. To return it would no doubt be a hassle, so I'll probibly just keep it.

$12 ain't much but I didn't think the simulated leather loops and strap parts to deteriorate after 2 years and maybe 100 uses. This band was not abused ... just deteriorated on its own over time.

I bought this to replace a similar band that came with my Swiss Army watch years ago. It arrived on time and in good shape, ready to be installed. I own my own watch repair tools, so replacing it was easy. I reused the old spring bars, no problem. From what I can tell, this product is as close to the original as it can get. Same style, shape, size and color. My only concern is that these sorts of leather and cloth watchbands do tend to rot with heavy use. I perspire quite heavily when hiking and exercising and this band won't hold up for more than a few months under those conditions. So, I'm careful to take it off when I think I might be getting sweaty. Additionally, the cloth tends to absorb body odor after some time. On the other hand, it seems to stand up to washing.PROS:--Exact match for the original on my Swiss Watch--Durable (with care) and washableCONS:--Does absorb sweat and body odor over time--Leather has a tendency to rot after several months of heavy useBut with care and cleaning, it's possible this band could last quite some time. A good product. I'd certainly buy another.

I bought this to replace my husband's watchband that was old and gross. He has used this one for about 5 months now and likes it but both the little leather loops have come off. May look for an alternative to replace it.
