. One of the small screws connecting the buckle to the strap fell out and I didn't see a way to fix it. I was losing weight anyway so figured it was coincidence and ordered the next size down. After about 2 months it also came loose at the point where the buckle attaches to the strap. Most likely, it will fail completely in the near future. I've had belts that have lasted many years even with daily use, but this is only a few months due to the buckle attaching poorly to the belt.
