I really did want to like it. I had such high hopes for it and was looking forward to putting it to use on my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Seiko-5-Sport-Automatic-Men-s-Watch-SNZG07/dp/B004V23YV0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Seiko 5 Sport Automatic Men's Watch SNZG07</a>.  Upon receiving it, it looked nice. The tanning process seems good here. Very nice coloring. It felt like decent quality leather, particularly for the price. I'm not sure about longevity, but for the short term, it seems ok.  Then it came time to actually use it. Upon sliding it on, the hardware seemed a little loose. Much looser than other such straps that I have.  And by loose I mean there is a decent-sized gap sewn around the hardware itself, with two of the rings not even separated by a gap and resting against each other. What this amounts to is this:

Move your hand to look at the watch? "Jingle, jingle, jingle."
Walk? "Jingle, jingle, jingle."
Move your arm the slightest, almost indiscernible amount? "Jingle, jingle, jingle."

Bottom line? It sounds like Santa's sleigh is right behind you. And if you have even the faintest of OCD tendencies (and even with my hearing not necessarily up to par thanks to years of blowing stuff up with 155mm beauties), this will drive you up the wall. I couldn't stand it, couldn't wait to get it off my wrist and couldn't wait to send it back.

This has the potential to be a nice strap at one hell of a good value. Just tighten down that sewing needle a bit closer to the hardware.
