“This is my second band I had the other one more than a year and didnt have a problem with it except it did tear through one of the straps that holds the band. And the reason I bought another one is because it was starting to tear through were one of the pins attach it to the watch. But I am kind of rough on it I do wear it for Kickboxing class 5 to 6 times a week for and hour with it under my gloves. And have not found anything better to hold up to the excising that I do.”
