Solid product, poor quality control and vendor
This seems like a really nice band. I used do leatherwork, and I was psyched to find a watchband that wasn't just glued-together plasticky crap. However, the spring bar on one side is too long and won't install. I definitely got the correct size, and one half installed easily. But the other just doesn't retract far enough.Eta: When I contacted the seller, they at first said they'd provide a discount code for a replacement, but have since stopped responding. No code, refund, or replacement.Eta2: I decided to risk a second one because, wonky hardware aside, it's exactly what I was looking for. The second one installed just fine. The leather's super dry, but that's nothing a little oil and wax can't fix. The stitching seems solid and the leather is all one piece, not that bonded crap (meaning if your wrist is on the smaller side, it'd be easy to cut down to size). It really is a nice band, especially for the price. I just wish I hadn't paid double for it.TLDR: The vendor's dishonest and the quality control is poor, but the product is solid enough to be worth the risk.

A solid buy if you are looking for a simple, easy watch strap
Hello everyone! Welcome to my review of the Ritche oil wax leather watch strap.I received the Tawny/Silver variant of the 22mm oil wax leather strap earlier this week. I have been abusing it more than I would probably, and am pleasantly surprised with what I received. Let’s back up though.I chose the Tawny variant as a second choice after the dark brown/black one. It just wasn’t available in 22mm. I wanted to give my Aeromat Vol De Nuit that rugged flight jacket leather look, so the Tawny had to step up to the plate. I think the look turned out wonderfully.When I first received the strap it was a little stiff like many have said, but I took about 3-5 minutes and just exercised the band and it really loosened up. Let’s be honest though. If you wanted soft delicate leather, you are not going to be buying strip leather.The Pros: The buckle hardware seems solid. The sizing holes are cleanly punched out. The length and shape are appealing. The stitching seems quality with a thick thread, that is terminated well. No excess thread sticking out to poke you. It has taken a beating so far. I have gotten it wet while washing my hands, scuffed it, sweated into it. I have yet to see any signs of failure or staining on my wrist from the leather dye. In the pictures youll see a little water staining and texture. I washed my hands before taking the photos. Since then, they have almost completely disappeared. The rest gives the watch that beautiful nonuniform loved/used lookThe Cons: I wish the first strap loop was stitched in place. Mine seem to end up always together. That is honestly about it so far. If that changes, I’ll add to this later.Thoughts: I wish the dark brown option was offered in size 22mm and that it also had a silver buckle option. That would have been my first choice. That said, I am very happy with this product, and would buy it again.

Great for Galaxy Active 2
I purchased this band for my Galaxy Active 2 smartwatch. When removed from the packaging, I found the watch band was made of thick leather. The color was exactly what was advertised. I was able to install the band on my watch in less than 1 minute due to the quick release spring bars. The band feels really stiff, but that is to be expected when you have a thick leather band. The band should soften with use and the stiffness is not uncomfortable. The documentation which arrived with the band stated that the company offers an additional one year warranty, if you register on their website. Only one problem with that. The website is down. Hopefully, website is restored so I can activate the one year warranty. Overall, this band is durable, high quality, and worth the money spent.

Quality leather band.
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Excellent band. Getting more comfortable every day I wear it. Color/Style was represented perfectly by the pictures and gives my Seiko the look I need to wear it in a more dressy setting. Size seems to be perfect for me as I have smaller wrist (7") and use the forth hole from the case which is around the middle of the strap and it wears perfectly, but people with larger wrist (8"+) might want to look for a longer strap. If your in the market for a vintage looking leather strap this one is worth trying out.

Good buy at the right price
Compared to the strap I bought from another brand, I give it four stars overall.Visual quality 3.5. The other brand's quality is obviously nicer, but a few dollars more. This is still nice looking for the price. I bought the black band, so a different color may have resulted in a different opinion.Build quality is 4.5. The quick release springs on the one I received worked very well with a solid fit. No looseness, but not difficult to get latched in place. Better than the latch on my third party silicone band. The leather seemed a tad stiff out of the box, but flexed fine and was surprisingly comfortable once on. The other brand's band was a little softer and the buckle seemed a tad nicer.I rate this a good buy at about $15. The other brand was out of stock in this color and size when I needed a black band, so I'm happy enough with it.
