Color is not light as seen in the PICs, I did see one other person indicate this... I was hoping that this would not be the case for me.

I will update with picture comparisons of lighter brown, that are "tan" colored on my other watches that I was expecting.

Over all I like it... I like the loops, Nice chunky clasp, leather part of the strap feels good, I was concerned a bit when I got it, when I found it to be more of a brown than a light brown/ tan that seemed to be represented in the picture. The edges are frayed, not sure in the beginning ; but this is growing on me,
