Metric - Black Suede Strap 19.50mm

Great alternative to the bracelet.

Strap is comfortable to wear and looks good with little to no break-in required. Visually, I would prefer more of a taper. The current 20mm looks somewhat broad and overpowers the watch head. Perhaps a taper to 18mm or even 16mm (like the bracelet) would look better. Otherwise, great strap, would like more colors (like some sort of brown or dark grey, etc.)

Total transformation

Completely changes the vide of my metric. It’s buttery soft. Love having options.

Looks decent, more reliable than the leather

I think the suede looks fine (not as good as the leather), but the quality is significantly better on these as they have 2 locking mechanisms instead of the 1 on the leather. You can actually trust this to stay on your wrist even when you’re moving around. If the metal bands (which are great) are just too heavy for a particular day, these are a nice addition to swap out. I use this color with the Metric Digital Blend (had to start using this instead of the leather).
