Alpine Soft Stitched & Padded Genuine Alligator Full Grain Leather Watch Band | Replacement Watch Band | Watch Strap | Premium Long Leather Watch Strap for Men | Fits Wider Wrists Only

This band is very well made. I bought it for my husband and he really likes it. It is comfortable to wear as it came in a longer length for bigger wrists. It's very well made and I am very pleased with this purchase.

The band is really nice and had held up well for about 1 year. However the 2 bands that hold the end of the watch strap down broke. The glue holding them together seems to be the weak point and they just came apart. Good news, you can find cheap replacements online. The band itself is still holding up well and no color fade (black band).

Most watches/bands I've bought over the years just barely fit, last couple holes. This one second hole. Which will be good next summer, last year I had 2 bands I had to run under cold water to get to expand to where they would fit. 110+ days most bands (some more than others) will shrink. Sounds crazy bur it's true. The paradox that things expand with heat sent me on a mission. After a lot of searching I found, molecules chains of rubber are tangled instead of long and straight. So when rubber heats up the strands pull each other and the bands tighten on your wrist. That explains troubles I've had most of my life with watches. Makes sense to me.It comes stiff but in just a couple hours it's loosening up.

Good looking band, stiff but seems to be of very good quality, have been using it for about a month now and no problems.

The band is initially hard but after a couple weeks of wear it begins to soften up. The holes haven’t stretched excessively during repeated wears. I expect this band will provide lasting wear and remain looking good

I bought this for my Seiko chronograph based on pictures of other more expensive alligator grain straps that I found online. I read the reviews of this strap and, although all are very positive, others are saying it’s very stiff. Well?...it’s VERY stiff, but don’t let this deter your decision. This is a high quality, padded, well made strap and needs to be broken-in before wearing. . I bent it in all directions to loosen it up and it’s already starting to form to my wrist. This particular strap is intended for thicker watch cases so if you have a thin dressy watch (and smaller wrists), it probably isn’t for you. Still, buy with confidence but know you will need to bend it into shape a little. I’m very pleased with it and would definitely buy again.

With a 9 inch wrist I needed a XL watchband this one looks great the length is perfect and the tool that comes with it was very helpful for the changing of the bands

Good quality. Looks great. Band is firm and hopefully will get softer as it’s worn
