Benchmark Leather Watch Band - Crazy Horse Oiled Leather One-Piece Watch Straps for Men or Women - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm Widths

It's a decent product; the leather is OK, the length should be sufficient for most people; it just slips on the watch, no rocket science or leatherworking skills necessary.

Very high quality band, especially for the price. I purchased it to replace the original band on my Fossil watch that was "genuine leather", meaning nothing more than plastic leather, not actual leather. This band you can tell is the real deal made out of quality leather not crappy plastic "leather" by the way it scuffs and the smell. I have a Timex Weekender that has the same style of band and the original Timex band is significantly thinner than this band, I will be buying a second to update my Timex band as well. Changing it out was very easy. Took less than 5 minutes. The dark brown color with the silver is beautiful! This band is the perfect size for either a smaller wrist like I have or a large wrist. If you have a smaller wrist, you'll have to tuck the end into itself, which I don't mind at all. Actually, I prefer this look. It's a good stiffness and flexibility, not too loose. Not too stiff. It's too early to tell how easy or hard this will be to clean, but with it being leather all you'll have to do is condition it every once in awhile and it'll be looking good for a long time.

Update: I liked the green one a lot so I picked up a brown one in the same size. The product I received is NOT as described or pictured. While the photo and description are of oiled brown leather, which should be a soft almost brushed finish, the band I received is a polished brown finish, and it's not as thick or supple as the green strap either. It's still well constructed and has the same quality hardware, but the leather is nowhere near as nice and I don't get the same feeling of confidence in its potential durability. Like the green strap, the brown one was dry and very thirsty, so I've made a couple applications of Obenauf's LP already to protect and soften it up. That said, it looks pretty good and I'm going to keep it, but will knock the rating of this strap down from 5 to 4 and while I really want to order the oxblood color I'm not confident now that I'm going to receive what I'm paying for. Very nice quality leather and stitching. Color in the photo is spot on, it's a dark spruce with a grayish tint. Stitching and hardware look substantial and clean. The leather was quite dry, a bit stiff, and scratched easily. That was remedied with Obenauf's LP, which I apply right away and regularly to most leather products anyway. With that treatment, the leather became soft and pliable. It was very thirsty. Color didn't change much, where sometimes LP makes stuff a lot darker. I've never used a leather NATO before, and found it to be even more comfortable than a nylon one. My small wrists, just under 7", have me using the tightest fitting on this strap. Once the leather stretches, I'll need to add a hole.

Overall quality and look is nice, but why is it so long??? I had to cut it to so the end doesn't stick it out.

Very comfortable leather, not stiff at all. Going to order a few more. I put this on a Steeldive SD1925GMT(perfect watch) with the fixed lugs. That means no spring bars so pass thru straps only like NATOs and this leather strap. I have almost 9” wrist so the size and length is perfect. I may cut the shorter piece so there isn’t a lot of bulk under the watch but I may wear it the way I have in the video posted. Install is super easy.

Great fit, good quality materials, wearing nicely and no signs of loosening. Excellent quality for the low cost.

I haven't had it very long, but so far I like it very much. It perfectly complements the Timex Expedition chrono I put it on and makes it truly look like a retro aviator watch. The leather color is perfect. The strap itself is a bit thin and I suppose it will stretch and/or wear rather quickly, and I do try to keep it dry, but as far as looks are concerned, it's a hit. I got a "Nice watch!" the very first day I wore it, from a gas station attendant. It's a $50 Timex chrono with this strap, so we're not talking fancy... but it wears with style, especially if you like that retro Long Range Desert Patrol or "Rat Patrol" look. Since I'm currently fascinated by pseudo aviators these days, this is a good way to make that statement for not a lot of money, and the NATO strap helps tremendously. I'm new to the G10 NATO and Zulu, but I'm already experimenting with others (I also like black nylon "special ops" style, which I just put on my old Chase-Durer UDT chrono). I hope this is as good a buy as it seems to be. If it is, I will try more. (After several months of use, this fairly thin band has stretched some and has become stained with sweat, so it doesn't look as sharp as it first did. If your watch is a rugged outdoor type, then it's probably all right, but it won't look as dressed-up as you might prefer. Knock a star off for this, but I still like the strap all in all.) --W.D.

Very nice. Very comfortable. Love the color. Really like the slip thru watchbands. Metal of the watch doesn't make my shin itch cause it's covered by the leather.

Good quality leather, looks amazing and very comfortable. Absolutely love the color, the only drawback I can think of is that it can scratch a little but it "heals" if rubbed as a typical leather product does.

Perfect fit for my timex standard chronograph

Excellent

Seems like a good NATO strap and really like the colour. Comfortable and makes my Seiko look great.

Great quality pc. Worth buying
