I've been wearing this replacement watch band nearly everyday for at least 2 years and it's still going strong.  I purchased this watch band for about $5.00 less but it was a great purchase and it lasting very well.  I currently continue to use it everyday and I'd buy it again if I needed another one.
The watchband can absorb sweat and begin to smell but you can easily clean it with dish soap and a fingernail brush in the sink and it cleans up nicely.  You can even spray your favorite cologne into the band to give it a very pleasant smell.
I really wish the Casio watch that I use this band on originally came with this band instead of the cheap POS that they sell with it.  I wish I would have found this band sooner than I did as I purchased 3 of the Casio Fisherman watches with cheap watch bands and threw them away because the watch band fell apart.  I found this watchband and I continue to use my Casio Fisherman watch.  To bad Casio discontinued the Fisherman watch as I really like it.
