Pros & Cons
Pros
The clasp is pinned and robust. It's a good 1/8 shorter than the leather from pin to holes.
The strap is a little stiff at first, but it loosens up if you work it around some. My wrist is exactly 7-1/2. With a bit of wear and manipulation it sweetens right up.
Cons
This band looks great for about 1 hour, after that, frayed and wrinkled. By the time it starts breaking in, it also starts breaking apart. The longevity of this product is questionable.
The sailcloth band is very stiff and when flexed to fit around my wrist, the material frays at the buckle holes and slides over the underlying layer. Threads are just pulling and dangling, after wearing the strap for just 4 days.

The issue is the holes are not reinforced and i can already see on the unused holes that it will fray over time

My watch bands usually last a lot longer

I wanted to see if the band wearing out so quickly was the exception rather than the rule

Although the picture on amazon has a thicker thread on the sailcloth than the one received

I hope it keeps the form and not split after a few wears
