I love the appearance of this watch band! The color is faded and looks natural, sturdy, and rustic. However, it feels like plastic and doesn't breathe well. I thought that leather would be comfortable, which is why I purchased this watch band, but it must be bonded leather or some other artificial material and the seams feel rough on my skin. I'm a little skeptical about how long it will last, as well, but perhaps it will be more durable than it appears. Only time will tell.

On a more positive note, the band has a lot of room for adjustments in size, and the mechanics seem well made.
