I ordered this band for an older Timex Expedition/ 100m. wr/ shock resistant/green face/analog. The leather/canvas band it came with had always ben stiff and uncomfortable.  I wanted a soft, rubber band and I prefer the deployment clasp over the buckle type. Took about 10 min. to get it cut and adjusted just right. Used the sissors on my Leatherman to cut it.
It is very comfortable. Looks like it will be plenty durable. It looks great on the watch.
