🐊 Ritche Quick Release Leather Alligator: Stylish & Convenient Watch Strap Upgrade Review

I bought this for my Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 Active, I've been wearing it for about 2 days now. I can already tell it's not the last year, maybe 2 months max, I'll definitely be updating, but the loops that hold the extra strap have something that sticks out and just digs into the bottom of my wrist. The real tape does not feel soft. It's definitely a bit on the side of thinking. Some may like it. But the original leather strap was much softer. And it went like this for 2 years. The skin is…

If you are familiar with the similar Barton watch strap, this one is almost identical. I own both brands and the only difference I could tell is that the Ritche is about half an inch longer and $11 cheaper. The build quality is excellent, the materials are very good and the finishes are amazing. I have both the brown and black Ritche straps and they both look great with my Seiko Cocktail Time. I particularly like brown. The manufacturer's photos correspond to reality. Also, contrary to some…

This is by far the best watch strap for the money. It feels softer and more supple than the original straps on some of my expensive watches. I have bought 3 tapes from Ritchie so far and they outperform their competitors on Revain in quality. I like the quick reset feature, but that little hole wears out prematurely if you wear the watch a lot, even long after you've benefited from the bracelet. The only thing that confuses me is that they don't offer custom groups. I have a pair of 21mm that I

After wearing the strap for a few weeks and trying to tear through the tough skin, it almost doesn't feel like it is at all broken in and still feels very stiff is gradually weakening. I may wear it more often, but it's the stiffest strap I've ever come across of the countless straps I've come across. Looks great but stiffness was the only issue.

This is my second Ritchie alligator strap. I liked the brown version so much that I bought the black one. Now I can switch between them depending on my mood or clothes. Post-break comfort is simply unmatched, and a quick release buckle is the only way out if you like changing straps. I have a dozen watches and twice as many straps, and the Ritchie leather straps are by far the most comfortable in my collection. My Hadley Roma and Hirsch brand bracelets cost five times as much but seem to be of…

Overall a very good strap for my Samsung Active 2. I needed a 20mm strap for my watch and it's perfect. The bracelet is of high quality and feels comfortable on the wrist after wearing it for several hours. However, the band is very stiff right out of the box. I was a bit worried it would be too stiff but it softened considerably after a few hours of wear. Also, the pin on the side seemed to be too short and I found it difficult to get in, but I managed to get the pin in the hole in the watch…

I've become a huge fan of Ritchie straps and when I needed a new one for one of my favorite watches, the Jack Mason Chronograph, I knew where to go. I chose the navy blue alligator pattern and am very happy with my choice. First, many leather straps take time to loosen. My Ritchies were as soft as silk and didn't need to be broken in. They fit well, have quality hardware, and match the watch's blue sub-dials perfectly. This is a quick release type and once you remove the old strap and spring…

Strap fits perfectly but quick release pins were too short and straps kept falling off. I had to cut the leather to remove the quick release pins and use regular pins from an old strap. I would not use them for fear of damaging or losing the watch if the straps come loose. I like the leather straps themselves, but the quick-release pins are a risk. I'm sure I can't fully use the leather straps now because I had to cut them to remove the quick release pins, but this will serve as a reminder not…

I like it. This group seems pretty solid and easy to install. Ritchebands always use high quality quick release spring bars which makes them very easy to replace. To be honest I wish they would have sold the spring bars themselves. The leather seems sturdy enough to last, with good stitching and a strong closure. It looks dignified, although it's hard to see in the photos because it's a black stripe. It has a really good pattern and I'm sure the blue-brown color will stand out more. The only…
