In general, first impressions are good. However, upon initial wear, the suede stripe (in black) began to separate from the base. I also initially missed measurements regarding the buckle's taper from 20mm to 16mm, which I don't like. These straps are likely to remain in the box unused, both due to a preference for a less angular cut and poor quality. I wouldn't recommend them as I think there are other brands that offer better quality with a less aggressive buckle taper.
