If you bear in mind where it was manufactured, its easier to understand whiy this watchband is described as extra long.  By US standards it is about average length, as i learned when I first purchased a regular watchband and could barely buckle it to the last hole and then cut off circulation to my hand.  This one fits my average wrist, and is perfectly good at what I need it for: keeping my watch on my wrist.  It isn't particularly dressy or decorative, but is quite functional, which is all I ask at this price.
