This watch band was purchased to replace the original band on my Timex men's T479029J Expedition Indiglo watch, which was the form-fitting type. I was able to install the new band by making minor adjustments. The new band is not the form fitting type, but it looks great and functions well. I like the softer leather on the new band, which appears less likely to crack than the original one, in my opinion. I am pleased with this purchase.
