“Honestly, I was insanely impressed by the quality of the leather. After having put this on my daily wear watch and used it for over a year, I can say this leather holds up to any beating; INSANE QUALITY”
“Just put this on my new Watch4 44mm version and not only does it look exponentially better than the stock band, but it FEELS so much more comfortable. The included silicone band was hard, uncomfortable and made my wrist sweaty and irritated.
This band is a dream!
Be aware, however, that you need to buy your own pins to make this work on the Watch4. This kit worked like a dream for someone who has never changed their own band before.

Furthermore, I had read about Popov's excellent customer service and was pleasantly surprised when I experienced it myself. You see, just a day after I purchased this band, they put them on sale. I emailed them, expecting to be told I was out of luck, but - nope. They refunded me the difference!
If you are looking for a high quality, durable, and beautiful band for your Watch4, look no further. Don't make the mistake of buying some bonded leather garbage on eBay or Amazon. This is the one.”
“Pros:
- looks fantastic on my Seiko SARB035
- great quality - soft and supple leather, very comfortable
- the smell of real quality tanned leather
- I have large wrist (~8") this fits - am using the 2nd or 3rd last hole - I removed the 2nd 'floating' keeper as I have no use for it
Con:
- the NATO-style buckle used isn't my favourite, it's narrower than a traditional buckle making the watch a harder to put on; also, the round pin of the buckle sticks out enough where I sometimes catch it on my clothes - wish the pin was flatter
Highly recommended strap - if there was another traditional/rectangle buckle option (maybe brushed finish as well?), this would be the PERFECT strap for me.”
“I love my English tan watch band. Looks great with me Timex weekender. Only issue could have more holes as lether stretches and I have skinny wrists. However that's minor and really usual for me being slim 6 foot 5. Love it would buy again and recommend.”
