I'm very pleased with the band.  It is smooth, soft and comfortable.  I am slim, and the band fits well, but may not be suitable for very large wrists.  It is a huge improvement over the origanal band the watch came with. I have a Pulsar Sports Cronograph, that is similar to the Seiko sports watches and that uses the Seiko rubber band for divers watches.  This is so much nicer, and fits perfectly.
