Bought this strap as it looked great and was at a reasonable price. However, less than a year from purchase it has already shown signs of noticeable wear and tear. For context, I use the watch where I installed the strap just about every other week (5 days at a time). I am very careful not to get the watch (or strap) wet, or have it rub against anything aside from my own wrist. Quite disappointed in the quality and would not purchase again.
