Originally I loved this Belt. However the finish did wear very quickly and last week for some reason unknown to me the ratchet just stopped working. I didn't do anything meaningful to the belt, I just grabbed it to slip on one day and the ratchet wouldnt grab. I don't know if a component is bent, but I only had 3 minutes to mess with It and I couldn't figure it out.

Looks like a button popped out and I could not figure out how to get it back in

Disappointed. Really like the belt, really sad about the 7 month short life.
