I’ve had this strap for over a month, so it’s had time to properly break in.
Pros:
-the fit and finish are great. The quick release bars are very secure in the strap. The stitching and seams all are flawless.
- overall the styling is a win for me. I enjoy the sailcloth look and texture. It’s versatile and works on many watches. The taper is nice. The buckle is simple and well finished. I also like the subtle taper and squared end.
- length is good for my wrist.
- I prefer the first loop to be fixed, which this is.
- the leather is nice and helps with comfort.
Cons:
- boy is it stiff when you get it out of the bag. Spend some time playing with it and bending it in your hands before you ever put it on. It’s just the nature of sailcloth, so I can’t fault them too much. Once it’s broken in and conforms to your wrist, it’s very comfortable.
- folks with wrists larger than about 7.5” will not fit.
Overall, for the price, I’d call it a home run of a strap. I think it will age very nicely.
