I'll start by saying this watch band seemed the best out of all I looked at. My last band was a black leather Fossil one. I couldn't find it again on the Fossil website, so their loss is Bulldog Leather Works gain.

Pros:
- Looks really bad (as in 1984 Orwellian doublespeak)!
- Seems sturdy and well put together.
- Did I mention how bada** it looks?

Cons:
- I was not mislead by the seller but would have preferred a stiffer leather like my former watch band. No big deal; it may even prove more comfortable this way.
- I would rather the buckles for the straps curve the opposite way, towards my wrist. Instead they curve "up" away from the wrist and stick out slightly. This is the only real complaint I have about the band. I could have sent it back but decided I liked it regardless.
- Because wrists taper toward the hand, it might have been a good idea to taper the band and punch holes closer in on the strap next to the hand. I would have liked it to look wider the farther it went up my arm.

I really like this watch band. I kept it, after all. The Cons (except for the second) are little, nit-picky details. I've only had the thing for a few hours so I can't attest to durability but I think I will be able to enjoy it for quite a while.

UPDATED APRIL 2012:
I know this review is old but I was looking for a new watch band and took a look at my old review. Unfortunately, I didn't even wear this watch for a year. The screws got pretty rusted in the first couple of months. I tended to take the watch off at night so it was simply from normal wear. The leather being kind of soft just meant it stretched pretty easily so it made the fit kind of tough. I really liked the way it looked and wanted it to be the watch band I was looking for. It just didn't hold up. Pictures for the watch look like it's been updated a bit. The buckles look more comfortable.
