Horween Color 8 Chromexcel Leather Watch Strap, Black Thread

Highly impressed with fit and finish…. The most supple leather band I have ever worn… hoping it holds up to the hard use that’s coming…… wore for the first day in the number four hole and then had to move to number three bc of stretch……seeing how they works……all in all, a supreme strap…..

I wanted a band that lasted at least a year, and I found one! You can see the old band on my watch - over a year of daily use. The only comment I would add is that better stitching on the clasp would be beneficial - you can see that I had to restitch after the original thread broke. Not only would I buy again - I did!

The watch band is okay. I liked the color and the photos online were good but when I received it the leather was thinner than expected. I’ve only had it about 2 weeks and it’s stretching beyond what I figured a new watch band should. I’m noticing some threads sagging and I can tell I’ll probably have to replace it within a year Good band, maybe for a lighter watch.
