Mine is  slightly different color variation, with a dark brown band. I have had it for a while and has been holding up -- mostly because I don't wear it a lot. It is pretty heavy for its size, which is why it doesn't get much use. And the band is pretty thick, which makes it hard to break in, so it sits unevenly on my wrist. I think you would have to try it on, though, since your wrist size might get different results.
