I buy more watch straps than I care to admit here and this one is really good so I would definitely recommend it. Yes, there are even cheaper plain black leather straps on this site, but they feel comfortable, have a nice contrasting brown leather inner layer that adheres well to the skin, and spring bars with quick release buckles that work perfectly. It's also worth noting that the size given is exactly the truth, and that's not always the case with straps, even at higher prices.
