Quick Release Leather Watch Bands Top Grain Leather Watch Strap 18mm, 20mm or 22mm for Men Women

I wanted a leather strap to accent the watch that I had recently assembled. The Ritche strap looked like it would fit the bill, so I ordered it. I was very happy with it upon arrival. The leather is a good quality, soft but not too broken-in feeling. contrasting stitching and the pilot-style rivets are great looking accents. The quick-release sprint bars are a fantastic idea, keeps me from scratching the case back with the spring bar tool.Turns out that I liked it so much, I bought several more a few months later. These straps are well built and will last for quite a while. I will buy Ritche straps over many other well-known straps any day of the week.

One of the four rivets that holds the band together didnt even have a backside when it arrived. Obviously bad quality control as it was glaringly obvious. The band seems like it would be comfortable to wear and looks nice, hence two starts instead of one, but I have no way of knowing if a step was completely missed and its a one off, or if the rivets are just not held on well in general and I got one that was just slightly worse than normal. So now the quality is brought into question. Will be returning to get a product from another brand.

What a difference this strap made! The original strap was ugly. And it fell apart after only a couple months even though it was used very gently.. This Ritche band is made of top grain leather, which is much better quality than many "genuine" leather straps (quality of "genuine can vary considerably.) Top grain is soft, looks great and wears very well. I now have three different Ritche top grain leather straps and love them all.

This strap is perfect for pilot/aviator watches or just any watch you want to add a bit of punch too. It’s very comfortable with a soft underside and molds to the wrist quickly. I also like the rounded tip which allows for easier threading into the minder loops. Great thickness considering it is intended for sportier or more casual watches.I originally got the band with a flimsy quick release tab that broke off after 4 days. I was sent a replacement which had worked fine so far. I haven’t had this problem very often with other quick release tabs but it has happened once in the past from another brand. It can be a tricky situation because the quick release tabs can’t be removed or added to the strap very easily with the way they are made, So you just have to hope you don’t get a dud. Overall, a great strap that delivers practical usability and comfort with attitude.

Strap definitely looks good and the quick release feature is very convenient. However the quality of the leather is very low. It feels more like TPU plastic rather than leather. I have a few nice leather straps (Rios, di modell chronissimo, Poljot) that are genuine leather and they are way more comfortable and attractive, albeit at a higher cost. Also the Ritche strap is very thin and the edge seems to be squared off so it digs into the wrist. Overall, was not impressed and actually quite disappointed. I've set it aside as a backup for a cheap watch. Won't be purchasing Ritche straps anymore.

I could not stand the silicone band that came on my smartwatch, so I started looking for a leather band. I'm very picky about leather and prefer natural grains and lightly stained brown leathers to anything dyed black, or anything dyed bright color, and I was pleased with the appearance of the band. The leather was very inflexible at first, as one would expect, but with use has become more comfortable and malleable. It looks very nice and almost matches some of my dress belts perfectly. I would recommend this band to anyone.

When quality is equally matched with style and comfort it is hard to rival its value. In this case not just one of the best watch bands for the money but one of the best watch bands period. After owning hundreds of watches with names like Hamilton, Zodiac, Edox, Tag Heuer, Squale, and the like they need to take note from this brand Ritche’s playbook. Bold statement to make but try one and you’ll see that the hype is real. Already looking for my next one.

I have a relatively small watch collection, but I do have multiple straps for each of my watches including a number of them from Ritche. This leather watch strap was the most comfortable strap I have received from Ritche so far, and required the least amount of time to break in and conform to my wrist.There were no defects in the material or craftsmanship of the watch strap, and so far over the past couple weeks of use it has not shown any signs of breaking down or excess wear beyond what would be expected for a genuine leather strap. The strap also does not suffer from the issue which has plagued some of their other straps where the material is too thick around the lugs causing the strap to rub on the watch case.Overall, this strap looks great, and is an awesome value at its current price point!
