Benchmark BasicsBenchmark Leather Watch Band - Premium Italian Full Grain Leather Watch Straps for Men and Women with Quick Release Spring Bars - Choice of Color and Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm

I cannot find a single problem with this watch strap Its quite literally perfect.* Its thick and durable leather* The tiny latch makes it easy to replace and it holds on tight* It looks exactly like the picture, it looks very nice* Its quite inexpensive as far as watch bands go* It doesn't feel uncomfortable to wearIt might be a bit stiff when you get it, just wear it for a bit and it'll loosen up and fit your wrist better over time.

The look and quality of this watchband is fantastic. It's new and full leather, so it's still a little stiff, but if you're looking for a great quality replacement band, this one is a great choice. However, a note about installation. I had my jeweler install it, and he had to swap the "Spring Bar" for a thinner one, because the bar that came with it was too thick, and wouldn't with the thickness of the band and the placement of the insertion holes on the watch. Once that was changed, it went on perfectly. I would definitely buy this one again.

Really nice looking strap. Quality top grain leather. Liked it so much, I bought another one.

I ordered the cognac colorway and it arrived correctly, but the shade is a lot lighter IRL. The color in the photo is darker and more of a reddish brown, while the actual color is more of a natural-leather tan. That's why I am not giving it 5 stars.All other aspects are as promised: full-grain quality and top-grade finishing.

This watch band is PRIMO!6 stars for sure.Soft after the break in period. Easy to use. Real top grain leather and stitched with quality.So the BAND is great, The Brand is questionable- you may ask why?The Crazy Horse blue NATO version was a miserable waste of money. Their blue dye bled out and ruined everything in contact.These are my thoughts: Even though Benchmark identifies as a small business from Carolina, they sill import some of their goods from ...You guessed it, the far east. Now the package was clearly marked made in C'!na. (Amazon has a way of filtering things they don't like but i'm too bull headed to change my ways.)I think their QC is effed up and someone allowed this blue dye watch band to pass without inspection or even proper R&D. Upon reviewing the same band and seeing the same negative reviews it's clear to me that a voluntary recall on that item is being ignored and the company Benchmark has made their decision by "No decision." I don't like that however said, this brown version, two others and a black version of same model are fantastic indeed.OOhraah.The Col. (now the blue arm band Col.)

I really like that these straps are very easy to change quickly. I don’t have to struggle, or use a tool to change my watch straps. One quick press of a button, and the straps come out or lock in plane. I can easily change the look of my watch with these straps. So far, the pins seem sturdy, something that I was reluctant to use at first. They come in several different colors, as well as suede, making them versatile. They are stiff at first, but after a few wearings, they become soft and comfortable.

Not super impressed. Very stiff. Not super comfortable. Looks really good though.

Feels great. Looks durable but only time will tell how it holds up. Looks and feels really good for the price!

On my wrist, the band didn’t really need a break- in period. It was comfortable pretty much right out of the box. The fit is great, and the quality seems to hold up to other reviews.

Sencillamente calidad en su fabricación y acabados, incluso en los pernos, me arriesgue comprando tres diferentes colores y e acertado, definitivamente los volveré a comprar.

As per the headline - this is a very well build strap and it looks superb!

The strap looks nice and good quality, but it has nothing to do with italy, not sure why it was mentioned in the description. It has written in the box made in china, designed in US. For that reason i give it 3 stars for the dishonest otherwise i will.put 5 stars for sure

Good leather strap for the price, was a bit concern before ordering as another review says that it is made in China and designed in USA and nothing to do with italy, but once I receive the item it looks like real pueblo leather from Badalassi Carlo Italy, so the seller description is correct as pueblo leather is indeed real italian full grain leather. The lining leather does look like real Zermatt leather from Tannery Haas in France as described. The only thing is that I wish the strap is a little bit thinner (3mm total thickness with linings, wish it would be 2mm or so total thickness, can probably do with 2.5-3oz pueblo) which would be more comfortable and easier to break in. If seller is seeing this please consider having a thinner version please! (especially for the 18mm version, 3mm on a 18mm lug width strap is too thick and it looks slightly out of proportion)
