Ritche Christmas Gift Quick Release Leather Watch Band Leather Watch Strap 18mm 19mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 23mm or 24mm for Men and Women, White Elephant Gifts, Stocking Stuffers For Men

Very, very pleased with this watch band. The leather is great quality and very comfortable on the wrist. It's firm, yet soft and fits quite nicely... no stiffness or "breaking in" needed. Absolutely love the Quick Release feature (cannot understand why any watch manufacturer wouldn't use these instead of the old-fashioned spring bars!) I swapped out this black leather to replace a stainless steel bracelet that quite honestly kept me from wearing this watch all that much. The Quick Release is super easy to take on and off, and gives you the flexibility to easily move your band to another watch as needed. With the leather strap, this watch (in my opinion) looks much nicer and definitely wears much more comfortably. I have not tried a Ritche "genuine leather" band, so I cannot speak for it, but I have also tried a Ritche NATO strap that I found to be excellent. I would highly recommend Ritche straps as an inexpensive, yet quality way to change up the look of your watches. Besides the color of the band, be sure to match the buckle to your watch case, as Ritche has several different options!

I am very happy with the quality of the watch band. The assembly to the watch itself was really simple especially with the quick pin connect mechanism. The band fit perfectly onto the watch, like the original.

Updated review: I ended up returning this band because after getting it wet only twice, the black leather dye was starting to wash off and fade. I used a very soft white shower towel to dry it and a lot of that black dye was transferred onto the towel. This band is very scratch prone and the leather creases very easily, directly around the buckle (not very supple leather - pretty much like thin, dry skin type of texture). So be aware - you'll have to be very careful not to scratch this band around, or else you'l ruin it very quickly. I ordered a second band of the same model and I was very shocked to see that the second band I received was not as black as the first one I reviewed here. I ended up returning them both. With that said, I just spent many days researching, purchasing and testing lots of all black; both leather and silicone watch bands here at Amazon for my Fossil Sport and Skagen Falster 2. I ended up settling with a 7 dollar 20mm black silicone quick release band and I'm much happier because it looks great on both watches. So... If you don't intend to get this black leather band wet and can live with a very delicate nature of its very thin layer of dyed leather glued on top of course leather, then by all means, go ahead and try your luck with it. Original, day one review: I'll tell you, I'm a very detailed oriented individual and not easily impressed by a lot of products out there, but in my personal opinion, this band fits and suits my wants and needs pretty much in all areas. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. - All black with black stitching. Check. - Black buckle (wish it was matte black though). Check. - Non narrowing band. Check. - Squared off tip. Checked. - Matches the matte black portion of my Fossil Sport's nylon case posts (where you clip the band ends into). Check. Keep in mind there will be a break-in period to get this band perfectly fitted comfortably around your wrist. At first it's a bit too harsh / stiff. I put my entire watch / band under the faucet running lukewarm water for about a minute, to hopefully soften the band a little more and, with the watch still on my wrist, I just gently patted it down with a clean towel and let it dry on my wrist. I believe it helped expedite the break-in period. It feels a little better on the skin now. There's some stitching on the inside of the band (that goes against the skin) but even if you wear it very tightly, it will not leave a mark on your skin. Can't really attest for the durability of this specific band at this time, but I would certainly recommend this band for anyone that happens to be shopping for a fine looking leather band.

I got this product for a weird 21 mm lug width watch and Ritche is one of the few that actually makes strap in this size (yes you can fit in 22mm in but I don't like the idea of squeezing it in). Overall I am amazed by the quality, especially at less than $20. While browsing my order history I realized that I also own a 20 mm genuine leather strap for a few years from Ritche that's pretty much the same to this one. So, here I am again and I guess that says something about the brand itself. Besides the convenient quick release spring bar being a big advantage, that genuine leather one has been holding up really well, and top grain is of even higher quality leather than genuine leather! I took the two side by side, though the looks are similar, this one is obviously more supple to touch. If you own other full/top leather goods you would know, this leather strap is nothing like the plastic-ky leather stuff that cracks easily. I have no doubt that this watch strap will last quite a few years and still look great!

Nice watch band. Of note, this band does not taper towards the buckle, in case you are considering adding a deployant clasp.

This is a well crafted, well styled watch band, superior to the original on my Timex Explorer watch. The seems to be holding up well, and is actually more comfortable than the original. The problem arises with the binding posts. Although the design is innovative, with a spring loaded mechanism so that the pins cannot be lost, and installing the band is much easier than with the the standard binding pins that hold the band in place, the pins themselves are a few centimeters too short, Thus the band will not hold in place as designed, and under even a bit of stress, the watch will fall off the wrist. What I've done is to place pieces of Mounting Tape on opposite sides of the flanges on the watch for mounting the band, trimmed as best I was able (2 on one side, 1 on the other), and that seems to be working, without noticalb e defect. Were the manufacturers to add a mere 1 or 2 centimeters to the length of their spring loaded pins, they would have an unqualified 5 Star product, in my opinion.

Sehr sehr steif und fühlt sich nicht so hochwertig an wie beworben

Buscaba una correa sencilla y de buena calidad que resaltara mi reloj y regresarle el estilo. Esta correa lleno por completo mis expectativas en cuanto a calidad, precio y fácil instalación

My 2nd purchase to replace the one I bought in Jun 2022. I noticed a change in design and now it only includes a single loop (would have preferred a double). Note that colour will darken over use and time, and when wet. See photo of old and new strap side by side for comparison. I do like the colour better when it ages. I ordered 'coffee' colour.
