This watch band is not like the one that came with the Expedition watch. Looking closely you'll notice a band on either side of the strap. This is the first problem; it a thin fabric with starts to fray within a couple of months. Secondly, the watch is 15 mm, the band is 18 mm which requires cutting to make it fit. Thirdly, the connection of the band to the watch was very custom looking; the band is designed like any ordinary watch band.
