Review on πŸ‘‰ Ritche Canvas Quick Release Watch Band - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm - Replacement Watch Straps for Men and Women by Jeff Alradwan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good but color fades quickly

UPDATE (9/27/21): Unless my band has been subjected to heavy use/extreme conditions the gray color has faded badly and I noticed it as early as 2 months before updates . . The effect of the quick-release spring bars is still correct and the belt is held together. One star was deducted for poor color quality. ORIGINAL REVIEW (2/16/21): It's easy to install and very versatile for my watch and I think the Ritchie bands are slightly better than the Archer bands which are a bit thinner. I had to replace this product once and am happy with the replacement. I would recommend this Ritchie strap for watches no thicker than 12mm. If you intend to use this strap with a 14-16mm or GMT chronograph, I wouldn't recommend it as the strap feels undersized - but not gross - in relation to the size of the watch. After some use, the area on the strap where the buckle touches has faded a bit. This is the same for all my Ritchie belts and I think it will be the same for Archer and Barton belts (although I could be wrong) as I suspect they source their products from the same factory or factories in China . It was a worthwhile purchase and the strap has no major issues other than some fading which I think will worsen over the next 8-12 months.
