“Very stiff at first but very classy. The canvas looks very casual in comparison. I bought this for my green Seiko 5 Sports, but it found my beloved Victorinox where it really looks good. That watch is amazing! Looks great with olive sailcloth, red leather or sky blue canvas!”
“This strap has the same quality issue that I sent another sailcloth back for. The cut of the fabric is not straight, so the weave runs diagonal and it gives the strap a slightly messy twisted appearance. Love the color and everything else about the strap seems like good quality though.”
“For the value, I am happy with this strap. I’ve had it for a couple months now. It is comfortable and I love the quick release feature. It came fairly stiff but only took a couple days break in. It does have a sheen to the surface that isn’t apparent most of the images online, and the holes started fraying after a couple weeks. I was able to take a lighter to the frayed fibers and it hasn’t frayed since. It’s not the best strap, but it’s pretty great for the money. Better than some I’ve spent more money on.”
“Watch band is extremely fragile-the sail cloth never quits fraying. I expected it to be a very robust watch band and it is everything but robust. This watch band is not suitable for a field watch.”
