I have bought two of these this year alone as replacement straps (once in February, and again in August). The first lasted a little longer than the second before it broke, but both have broken on me much sooner than I anticipated. Both broke in the same place (the little metal rod that holds the buckle in place), and both times the rod broke with normal wear (just putting the watch on!). The straps look fine, as far as that goes, but the quality is just too poor for me to buy this brand of replacement again. Good grief! [Update: they immediately refunded both purchases.]
