Gilden18-28mm Gents Thick and Heavy Sport Calfskin Leather Watch Strap TS62

I searched widely for a good thick wide leather band. And I found it here. Definitely not PU leather this is made by real world craftsman very thick very styling and exactly what I was looking for for my Galaxy Watch 6. This would work on any watch, but I really wanted a rugged classy leather watch band for my expensive smartwatch. I love the watch, but I really didn't want to plastic or silicone wristband which is just ridiculous when you spend $500 on a smartwatch.These leather watch bands are thick as well as wide in their dimensions. Make sure you get exactly what you want for the buckle. The buckle is a little bit flashy and a little bit large for its size. I picked the gold not because I wanted fake gold but because it looked like brass and reminded me of old world leather working with brass buckles. Not too flashy but very beefy and rugged looking for my strong male wrist.This is a very good and well crafted piece of leather artwork and I can't believe how inexpensive this actually is. Unfortunately, I get more comments and compliments on my watch band than I do my watch. That definitely makes me laugh!

Nice and thick.Quality is outstanding.The band is very comfortable.The color is rich and makes my watch stand out.Highly recommend.

This strap is a snug fit on my watch. The end lugs of my watch are short so there wasn't much room between the watch and the spring bars to install the strap. I replaced the 2mm spring bars with 1.5mm spring bars to make it fit. I will be putting some 1.8mm curved spring bars on soon. The leather is flexible enough to accommodate curved spring bars.I installed this strap on a watch with a lug to lug distance of 47mm. It wears at the 2nd to last hole on my 7.5 inch wrist. Worn this way the tip protrudes just past the fixed loop. I may remove the free loop. Its not necessary with my wrist size. Depending on the watch size someone could wear this strap with an approximate 8 inch wrist maximum.This strap is very comfortable to wear. It is 4.5mm thick but is supple and flexible. After one day it is beginning to take a curved shape. I think it looks fantastic on my flight watch. I think it would look good on a field watch as well. The thick tan leather and pronounced stitching give it a rugged look. Any scuffs it picks up will just add character. The buckle is quite large but it looks OK as well. It fits with the style of the watch. For under $30 this is a good looking, comfortable strap. I'm very happy with it and it will be the only strap I use until I get a NATO and a steel bracelet.

First of all, this strap is big and bulky. It looks awesome on a large dial; I put mine on a Panerai and it looks perfect. But keep in mind if you put this on a smaller or even a 'normal' size watch it will probably look weird.The leather is very very thick and looks very good. It seems to be pretty good quality. However, on inspection the strap appears to be two (or more) layers pressed together and covered with some kind of plastic-y finish. It looks good, and this is pretty common procedure for a lot of leather products, but as a result it is hard to verify whether this is actually 'full-grain' leather as it claims. I don't know how long that outer layer of finish will last before it starts cracking. Still, it looks pretty dang good for now.

Very good & genuine leather product. Abit expensive & the buckle seems too big. But I’d consider buying again.Simply beautiful.

Sturdy and perfect

This is a well made high quality watch band. Very satisfied. Easy to put on band to time piece. Well made.

Very nice looking band. Fits Garmin.
