I was looking for an inexpensive everyday belt and it was great. I don't plan on wearing it with clothes but it looks good for everyday wear. I love cutting to ability. Using the buckle wasn't obvious at first, but a quick look at the instructions showed that it was actually quite easy to use. Hopefully I won't need it anytime soon, but it's nice to have a spare buckle. UPDATE: The belt worked great for two weeks. Today I didn't want to back down. A couple of times I tried to squeeze, I ended up squeezing harder and the buckle popped. Having a replacement buckle and if it struggles with me again I'll take a closer look to see what's wrong but disappointed with how easily it broke. My rating has been downgraded to 3 stars. Update 2: The company contacted me and replaced the broken buckle free of charge. It's been working great for over a month now, no more issues and easy to use. I return 4 stars.
