Review on 👔 Refined Style: SWISS REIMAGINED Genuine Grain Leather Men's Watches with Classy Watch Bands by Anthony Mayes

This is a decent deal and I would say it's just a small step down from 4 stars (3.5/5). This is a first first impression and I haven't worn it for a long time (so I'll update it after a long time). Pros: 1) Beautiful Color - Burgundy goes really well with a lot of my everyday athletic wear. Watch. 2) Decent Thickness - I can comfortably wear a larger watch (>42mm diameter) with this strap. 3) Softness and Comfort - It's stretchy and fits my wrist well (surprising because it's quite thick). Cons: 1) Buckle - Huge buckle - draws attention away from the strap. This is easily fixed by replacing a smaller regular buckle you probably have lying around (or just buy a cheaper new one). NOTE: The spring bar can be released from the inside of the buckle. 2) There is no fixed loop on the harness. IF you replace the original buckled door knocker with something smaller, the only loose hinge will slip off. I think a second fixed leather loop (or steel) would act as a stopper to prevent slipping. The single loop also doesn't seem to fit easily into the end of the 6 o'clock bracelet. 3) The thickness of the skin. The leather is definitely supple and comfortable. However, the underside is spongy and easily wrinkled, and I'm already noticing the first layer crackling and eventually peeling off with prolonged use. Since it's on the bottom, it might not bother me that much (assuming it doesn't break and lose my watch). 4) The kit does not include spring bars - this is not a problem. However, if you are replacing a large buckle, you will need to invest extra money to make that strap work. Your mileage may vary. I would say that this strap is only available in the $20-$25 range and if you like the color. I know the huge buckle is meant to be paired with a huge watch (Panerai) but it still doesn't seem compatible with a straight 22mm strap due to its trapezoidal shape. Maybe they could try a different approach between loop and buckle. Something more subtle. I keep the band to myself as I change bands often. All in all, not a bad deal if you really like the color.
