Just bought (12/2020) a new one to replace the one I bought in May 2017. After 3 years of daily use, the belt lost some of its elasticity and I had to pull hard on the belt to keep it taut. 3 years for a $6.50 belt works for me. It's comfortable and stretches well, but pulls tight and neat. I went down a size so I didn't have to put too much more into the loop. The belt looks and feels high quality. I recommend this belt.
