I purchased this band to expand my watches wardrobe.  The watch (men's) came with a very nice band. I thought this would be similar.  It is much longer, so I trimmed the end of the band. AND it is not so comfortable. The band doubles under the watch, so it is more bulky then the band that came with the watch.  I am a woman with smaller wrists, so that could play into the wear comfort.  I do love the colors, and so far the trimmed edges have not frayed. The sizing holes are plentiful for very small wrists, but you do  have excess strap then.
