This watchband has at least a couple of shortcomings for my application.  The first is that it is shorter than the band that was originally on my Timex Expedition.  It was long enough, but just barely.

I agree with an earlier reviewer that the leather is very stiff.  The second is that the quality of the leather is so poor that any kind of abrasion results in the smooth surface being removed.  My watchband looks like a cat chewed on it.

Finally the fixed loop that secures the band broke a couple of days ago.

I will be buying a Timex replacement for this watch.  My recommendation is that you avoid this watchband.
