This belt has been worn for 2 weeks with no problems. I didn't want to buy this belt as some feedback said the buckle was loose. The only problem with the belt is that the buckle is completely straight and the waist is curved. All I did was bend the buckle with my hands so it curves around my waist (it's not difficult), and with a pair of pliers bend the tabs (which go into the holes) back a little, to get a better grip. 2 weeks for 10-12 hours a day and never came off. For the price and the best manufacturing in the USA, I'm glad I got this belt
