Alpine Cordura Fabric Watch Band - Quick Release Replacement Watch Bands - Water Resistant Back Lining Leather Strap - Watch Bands for Women & Men - Compatible with Regular & Smart Watch Bands

this is a very high quality band! I chose the Olive Green color and replaced the leather straps that came on my Timex Men's Expedition North Sierra 40mm Watch - Black Strap Green Dial Silver-Tone Case. It really makes my TImex have the look of a genuine field watch. The leather strap that came with the watch just didn't fit the field watch look nor the color scheme of the dial. I had looked at many field watches and chose this style and color because it looked just like the strap on an expensive Swiss field watch associated with a famous outdoorsman... I am genuinely impressed with the quality. After a couple months of wear, the holes are still perfect. No stretching of them or tearing of them! I love the fact that there is no reinforcement strip, at least not visible on the exterior, just pure olive drab Cordura nylon! This is a great watch band and you won't be disappointed!

I normally don't leave reviews unless the product is really bad or really great. In this case it is the latter. The quality is amazing really at any price. The strap is well made and love the leather backing. This trap rivals independent strap makers where the cost is 5 to 6 times more. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

I've bought one of these bands in each of the colors for a few of my watches with the same lug width. They appear to be very good quality and are really comfortable.

Alpine International continues to crank out beautifully constructed watch bands in a multitude of materials, colors, and styles that are attractively priced and delivered quickly, but the fly in the ointment is unquestionably their sizing. I do not consider an 8" diameter wrist to be unusually large, in fact I'd have to say that it's actually quite average, but that diameter coupled with a 39m or40mm case will leave you with a strap that barely makes it around your wrist which is unfortunate since they could easily make their standard length band a little longer or at least offer a "long" band length option. All buckles are apparently only available in polished stainless steel - Black I.P., Rose Gold, Gun Metal Gray, Yellow Gold, etc. would be welcomed options as well as contrasting thread color options for stitched bands.

This Cordura fabric strap is a durable and stylish alternative to traditional leather. The tight stitching with closed, rounded edges ensures a premium finish. The band is built to last, and the matte khaki color has a subtle sheen. Installation is a breeze thanks to the quick-release mechanism.

Nice looking and easy to install. Once I got the buckle closed it’s difficult to get the end of the strap to go through the first hold-down band, because that first little band is sewn in place very close to the buckle so it takes some severe bending of the pointed end of the strap to get it started and then some extra force to push it through that first little band. If it weren’t sewn in place and free to move out of the way )like every other similar tang buckle strap I’ve ever seen), it would be very simple. I love the color and craftsmanship, but I doubt it will last due to the force needed to buckle the thing

Excellent quality and a good fit

Bought as replacement for a Hamilton Khaki Mechanical. This band is an almost identical look at 1/5 the price. I was a little worried about it not having the rivets around the holes, but have been wearing for 9 months and shows no fatigue there. Even if it only lasts a couple years, I like like the idea being able to change styles on this particular watch without feeling locked in to a $115 OEM strap.
