I've gotten a lot of compliments from people, and they all seem surprised that it cost <$20. So far, there's no significant wear despite daily use. Definitely recommend! ORIGINAL REVIEW: When looking at a strap like this, I think it's important to keep in mind what you're getting and, more importantly, what you're not. What you're getting is almost certainly a relatively low quality strap that is likely to have durability issues. You're not getting the same quality materials that you would probably expect from a $200-300 OEM strap. Instead, you're getting relatively low quality leather and likely low quality materials for the clasp mechanism that, while they look nice, are unlikely to be nearly as durable as a more expensive strap. With that said, I'm happy with the quality of the strap for the price. Here are my thoughts: - The leather looks nice but is extremely stiff; while this is to be expected with an alligator-like style, I suspect that this is also due to the relatively low quality of the leather used. There is absolutely no give in the leather, and it's not supple in the slightest. The strap is extremely difficult to bend as there is almost no give because of the stiffness. I suspect that if you were to fully bend the strap, it would likely leave clear creases in the leather. - The clasp and buckle works as expected, but as noted above the materials feel extremely cheap and lightweight, and I expect durability to be an issue. With a <$20 strap I wouldn't expect anything different, and I expect that this strap will likely need to be replaced again in the relatively near future, especially with heavy use. However, the clasp does work as advertised, and I haven't had any trouble with the button mechanism releasing the clasp when pressed or with the clasp spontaneously coming loose so far. - The size of the band is as advertised. I got a 22mm strap and it fit the lugs on my watch perfectly. - I absolutely love leather straps with the metal clasps: the leather strap makes the watch much lighter than a full metal band and I just prefer the look of a leather strap over a metal bracelet, but the clasp mechanism reduces wear on the leather since you're not having to constantly pull the strap to put the watch on/off. As above, the steel used on the clasp mechanism is very thin and lightweight, and I bet I could probably bend it just with the force of my hands. This obviously raises durability concerns. - Aesthetically, the strap does look quite nice. Seen in passing, it looks like a high-quality, OEM strap that you might see on a nicer watch. The key issue here will be how it wears with time, and I don't expect that it will wear nicely, but out of the packaging, it looks great. - I've only worn my watch after replacing the strap for a day, but it has been comfortable to wear so far. The leather is so stiff that it actually creaks a little bit when moved, but other than that I haven't had any issues. As I mentioned above, the clasp stays securely shut and I haven't had an issue with the clasp abruptly coming open during regular use. - The packaging did include a spring bar tool and some extra spring bars, so if you don't have either, you're covered here. I ended up buying a separate spring bar tool and used that, so I can't comment on the quality of the tool, though it looks and feels quite cheap, and the other tool that I bought cost more than the entire cost of this strap. I also used the original spring bars that came with the watch since I still had them, so I can't comment on the quality of those either. For one-off use the included tool is probably fine, but you find yourself replacing watch straps with any degree of regularity, you'd probably be better served buying a higher quality tool separately. Should you buy this strap? That's a difficult question, and it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a strap that is likely to last quite a long time, this almost certainly isn't going to be the strap for you. I haven't had the strap long enough to comment on long-term durability (I will update this review if/when I have any issues), but at this price point and based on my impression of the materials, I think there's zero chance that this strap is going to last a long time. You should expect that you will need to replace this strap at some point in the future, especially if you wear your watch regularly. However, for a <$20 strap, I'm satisfied with the product as a whole: it looks nice (for now) and functions as advertised, and it's better than the strap it replaced, which was entirely broken and made my watch unwearable. If you set your expectations accordingly and understand that you're not getting the quality of an original OEM strap that costs $200 or more, then this is a great product for the price (as long as it lasts more than a couple of months). Review: Great inexpensive Watch band with a quality push button deploy clasp - For the money this is a excellent watch band to dress up a inexpensive watch. This watch band is as nice as my stock Tissot. The clasp is of better quality. You will not go wrong with this item. I work with leather as a hobby sewing and stamping. The leather feels real and not cheap. I was not sold on the white sewing and figured on taking a sharpie and darkening it. What I found out is that the stitching is more like a light grey (or dingy white) and looks great. This band is not for people with smaller wrists. Mine wrist is measured at 8 in. There is only one negative only because the photos will show it clearly what I am talking about. I don't think it was a negative on the band. It's a 19 mm band on a watch that is advertised as 18 mm. It does not fill the space out by a smidge (about 1 mm). Is that a word for official measurement? I'm probably sure it's not but either way the pictures are accurate. The watch band is 19 mm so I blame a incorrectly advertised watch spec. That being said I will buy this product again for future watches. ## Features - CLASSIC APPEARANCE---Matte alligator embossed surface with classic stainless steel buckle create a nice looking.

This watch band is as nice as my stock Tissot. The clasp is of better quality. You will not go wrong with this item. I work with leather as a hobby sewing and stamping. The leather feels real and not cheap. I was not sold on the white sewing and figured on taking a sharpie and darkening it. What I found out is that the stitching is more like a light grey (or dingy white) and looks great. This band is not for people with smaller wrists. Mine wrist is measured at 8 in.

The watch band is 19 mm so I blame a incorrectly advertised watch spec. That being said I will buy this product again for future watches. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap alternative to name brands *by J***N on August 2, 2023* The leather watch band is decent, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The quality is acceptable, and the leather feels ok, but it feels very flimsy. While it looks nice on my watch, the stitching and finish are not as refined as I had hoped. It's comfortable to wear, but I noticed some slight wear and tear after a few weeks of use, which made me question its overall durability. Looks-wise, nobody will notice the difference between this and a more expensive one unless they really took some time to inspect it. The pattern looks much more 'aggressive' than it does in the pics, almost more vibrant as well. The band has plenty of adjustment holes, ensuring a good fit for most wrist sizes. All in all, it's a decent leather watch band that serves its purpose, but it didn't wow me. If you're on a tight budget and just need a basic leather strap, this might be a suitable option. However, if you're looking for a more luxurious and durable option, I'd recommend exploring higher-priced alternatives. ## Frequently Bought Together - iStrap Leather Watch Band -Alligator Grain Embossed Pattern Calfskin Replacement Strap-Stainless Steel Deployment Buckle with Push Buttons-Bracelet for Men Women-18mm 19mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 24mm - Moran Genuine Leather Band Alligator and Cowhide Replacement Deployment Buckle Watch strap18mm to 24mm Crocodile Leather Strap for Men's and Women's - Moran Quick Release Leather Watch Bands Deployment Butterfly Buckle 18mm 20mm 22mm 24mm Blue Black Brown Calfskin Replacement Watch Strap for Men & Women --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14556620-leather-watch-band-alligator-grain-embossed-pattern-calfskin-replacement-strap](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14556620-leather-watch-band-alligator-grain-embossed-pattern-calfskin-replacement-strap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
