  I love this watch band. Real leather, not like the flimsy kind that some makers present to you as quality leather. It brings out a different and unique look to my watch.

  Great strap made from quality leather. Color is really nice. Looks great paired with my SARG005. If your watch lug depth isn't very deep, it can be a real hassle putting on the strap because of the thickness of the strap. My only complaint is the hardware. The buckle is plastic. I would have gladly paid extra for a decent metal buckle.

  Hey Kevin - thanks for your review. All buckles that we use with our products are made from stainless steel and have a matte finish. We do not use plastic with any of our products. If you're not happy with any part of the strap, I am happy to offer you a full refund!

  Great strap. Leather is nice and soft. I would say the color is a little darker than the picture, and will get darker over time. My watch is a Timex Easy Reader and it was a little difficult to get the strap in, which was slightly big. But the leather is pretty soft so I could squeeze it in, and now it's fine.

  Awesome product! The leather was soft straight out of the box. The stitching holds very well. Only thing that bothers me is that the excess leather is a little long after I strap watch.

  It goes without saying...the strap and the stitching is top tier. As always from all my Popov gear.

  Great strap. I bought it to wear with my SARB017, and the driftwood color is the perfect color.

  Travis E. said: Beautiful, but the color will change

  Like someone else mentioned the strap is going to stretch a little bit, but all that means is I eventually went from the third-hole over to the second. No big deal.

  Something I think is more important to mention is the patina that your strap will get over time. I have the Driftwood strap, and while it looked just like the picture when I got it, after a year of daily wear it's reached a deep, dark brown. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely beautiful - but just be aware that if you get the Driftwood color (I can't speak for any of the others, but I bet they're similar) it will darken significantly in a matter of months.

  I really have no criticism at all for this strap - it's beautiful and looks great on my Seiko SNK809. I'll definitely buy from this shop again.

  4.5 out of 5 stars
  I love this watch band, it's simple style and high quality materials make it a winner. I wear mine with a timex easy-reader watch (very similar to the pictured one) and together they are a simple, yet stylish everyday watch that is nicely understated.

  Expect the watch band to stretch a little as you break it in - it's not reinforced with stitching like many leather watch bands. The current thickness used for the bands has minimal stretch and holds up well to daily use.Only possible improvement to this might be if Popov pre-stretched the band before punching holes, so that they didn't take on an oval shape, but this is very minor quibble.

  Great watch band but the list price is a little steep, but Popov regularly gives out 20% off coupons, and as of writing, does so with a subscription to their email list. Customer service is top notch, they really stand by their products.

  Verdict: if you can get the 20% discount this watch band is a no-brainer, great quality product from a small producer with great customer service.
