Ritche Christmas Gift Quick Release Leather Watch Bands Genuine Watch Straps for Men Women- 18mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 23mm 24mm Top Grain Leather Watch Strap, White Elephant Gifts, Stocking Stuffers for Men

My 2nd buy... Straps have been great. Tough at first but they get comfortable with use. Great finish and look. Love how easy it is to replace starps with spring loaded pin.

I try to write a product review only if I think it might help someone else avoid a lousy product or experience, or - as with this purchase - if it might help someone else get a superlative product and experience.It sort of goes without saying that products are expected to be shipped quickly and on time. Amazon (and other retailers) have rightly realized this basic expectation by consumers. So, yes, this Ritche watch band arrived quickly and as promised.But I AM MORE THAN DELIGHTED WITH THIS PRODUCT! It SCREAMS "QUALITY"! It looks great, feels terrific on my wrist, and was incredibly easy to install on my beloved Tag Heuer watch! Thank you, RITCHE for all you do to provide quality products and services. I'll be buying more of your watch bands when my other ones need to be replaced.Cheers!(And to any of you concerned with the condition of my spleen, let's just say it currently seems to be working spleendidly, and I sincerely thank you for your kind cards and letters.)

A nice lighter neutral brown color that goes well with shoes/belts and doesn’t veer into orange like other bands I’ve tried. Looks classy with quality stitching, padding and a relatively smooth texture (vs the fake-looking pebbled texture other manufacturers stamp in). No one’s going to confuse it with a high end top grain leather band. But a very good one for the price.

My second purchase of this exact band; it is very good and extremely easy to install. Good leather, looks great, and breaks in nicely.

The media could not be loaded. Fit my Fossil Townsman perfectly. Really simple install. Like under a minute for both sides. Nice and soft on the inside. And it looks good as well!

First, I love the quick release/attach pins on watchbands these days. They make it so much easier to switch out watchbands than in the days of having to fiddle with pins and end up shooting them into who knows where. So this band is nice in that respect. Also, the band looks nice and is nice in quality. It doesn't slide around on my wrist and it is fairly inexpensive, all pluses. Very satisfied with this purchase.ADDED: Reeal nice watchband. I bought a second one for another watch.

Handsome watch band, easy to install, genuine leather, nice natural color.The challenge is that with only a week of daily wear, the finish is coming off as shown in the picture. The band has never been wet or otherwise used in a harsh environment.

The strap arrives in a bag where each end of the strap has a separate compartment. This is a pretty neat feature that keeps the pieces from rubbing against each other or the buckle from damaging the tail end.When talking leather, you need to understand that not all leather is created equal. There are essentially three grades of leather: Full Grain, Top Grain, and Genuine Leather.Full Grain is the top of the line. Only the hair is removed from the animal and it goes into tanning. It ages wonderfully and stands the rigors of time. All that does, however come at a premium and Full Grain is usually the most expensive kind of leather.Top Grain is next best. Here, the top layer of the animal hide is shaved off before heading in for tanning.Genuine Leather is the most affordable kind of real animal leather and is usually considered to be of the lowest quality. This is made from the middle layer of the animal skin and is sometimes also referred to as split leather.At about roughly $20, this padded strap from Ritchie is genuine leather. Having said that, I still think it offers a good deal for the money.Pros:The band is pretty pliable right out of the bag and immediately gave me the sensation that little to no break in time will be needed. The texture is smooth and pleasant to the touch and the stitching is pretty much flawless. The padding adds dimension to the strap and I've found myself pinching it when not wearing the strap because it has just the right amount of softness to it. Not too soft, not too rigid. Just right. I had this Tissot in mind when I ordered it, and the stitching picks up the blue accents on the watch rather nicely. The buckle doesn't match, but that was my mistake. They do offer a dlc version.Cons:The only real negative is that the added mass of the padding comes with the caveat of the buckle sticking a bit. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and had to go to the exact middle of the road with the holes, landing on the fifth of nine, but it took a bit of work to get the buckle there. This only happens when wearing it due to the normal pressure your wrist experts against the strap. When sliding the buckle up and down while not wearing it, it gave me no such trouble.
