Review on Gilden 22 24mm Calfskin TS62 1524mm: Premium Wristwatch Strap for Style and Comfort by Josh Lockhart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good leather but the buckle is too big.

I recently bought this strap for winter but winter isn't here yet so I've only worn it a few times. The leather is very thick and very comfortable, but two things are a bit confusing: The strap is very long. I have a 7.25" wrist and wear it on the 2nd or 3rd hole so a smaller wrist runs out of holes very quickly. This allows just over 2.25 inches of strap to go through the buckle. He still doesn't stick out much from the second keeper, so that's a plus. Speaking of the buckle. This one is HUGE! It measures 31.68 mm (1.25 inches) at its widest point. Much larger than it should be and the sheer amount of buckles is starting to detract from the real watch (mine is 44mm). I'm currently looking for a replacement buckle because the strap is actually pretty good. I'd say as long as your wrist is at least 6.75 inches you should be fine, but the watch you wear should be fairly large for better balance.
