Their grey, my grey
The manufacture of Fullmosa straps is impeccable, the stitching, the cutting and layering of topside and underside pieces, the fit of the buckles, everything is first class. But somehow their leather is not convincing. This strap is not padded and the leather lies perfectly flat, without any of the little variations of thickness or grain that you'd expect of real leather. Can it be this perfect and still be real leather?I've discussed this by email with their customer-service rep regarding another one of their products, the Asus model strap. As beautifully made as it is, it doesn't have the soul of a true leather product, doesn't react to shoe polish the way I know real leather to react. Yet they insist it's genuine. I ended up asking them why they would put leather through processes that would make it indistinguishable from vinyl...This strap is better. I put it through my shoe-polish test and it took the polish the way leather does. Then I decided to work it. After twisting it and curling it, it started to show some character until, wahlah, I'm convinced. It's leather.But this "grey burnished leather" strap just isn't grey, which I see now another reviewer mentions. It's definitely a full-on Army taupe, which I did not want. I wanted grey. Different cultures have different perceptions of colour. In Japan the green light of traffic signals is blue-green - that makes turquoise I guess - and this strap is not the medium grey its Chinese makers believe it to be. But it's beautifully made, it's actually leather after all, and something I've just noticed, it has a whole 9 buckle holes. I checked three other straps and they have 8, 8, and 7! I kept it, I put it on a watch and I'll have more faith in Fullmosa in the future.The photos show it on a Skmei chrono and the taupe vaguely co-ordinates with the yellow details of the hands on the watch dial. The photos were taken under a halogen lamp that throws too much warm light on the watches to be truly colour-correct but I doubt anyone would deny this strap is nowhere near grey.I find these thin straps really comfortable and easy to wear. I have a perforated rally strap from Fullmosa, which I also suspected was real not leather until I put it on a watch and wore it, and it became one of my favourite watch straps. This true-leather taupe strap will most likely follow in the same footsteps.

Exceeded Expectations
I recently purchased this Fullmosa Leather Watch Band to add another color to my collection. This is my second Fullmosa watch band for my Samsung Frontier Gear S3, a few months ago I purchased a similar Fullmosa band in black and was astonished at the quality and overall value. I purchased this one in tan to give the watch a different look and I am quite impressed, the band is made from a quality piece of leather, the stitching is flawless, the buckle is sturdy, and it was quick and simple to install (a tool is included if you need it).Outstanding accessory for my Gear S3 Frontier, high quality and exceptional value, I would definitely purchase again.

Not solid leather
For $13.99, I expected solid leather. The middle layer is black & rubbery. However, I have worn the band every day & it is soft, comfortable & looks good. It seems durable, but time will tell. I am concerned about the 1-star review comments. UPDATE: I have been wearing the band every day for five weeks, & it shows no sign of wear, so I am upgrading to five stars.

Inexpensive Leather Watch Band
Bought this for my wife's Timex Expedition watch and the 16mm size fit perfectly. She has had this watch for quite a while and this is the 3rd band (the original and 2 replacements) and she stated that it looks just the the original band that came with the watch years ago. The quick release mechanism for installing the new band was easy to use and the cost of the band was very reasonable considering it is made of leather.

Looks nice but cheap materials
Overall, quality was good but did not stand the test of time. After 3 months of light use the band began to tear. Luckily I noticed before it tore completely, possibly losing my watch in the process. Other bands that I have used still look new, this one is the odd one out. Do not purchase of you're looking for a band of quality to last more than a few months of light use.

Be aware of color.
I was looking for a grayish brown strap and happened upon this that looked not quite gray. One reviewer complained that it was too brown so I decided to take a chance. It is, in fact, much browner than shown in the photo. I'm giving it five stars because it is exactly the grayish brown I was looking for. Plus, it is more than decent quality considering the price. However, if you are truly expecting a gray strap you will be very dissatisfied. It is not gray.

Nice Quality and Good Fit
This is my 2nd purchase of a Fullmosa leather band. I really like the easy spring fitting on this brand as well as the sewn, rather than glued, edges lasting longer than other brands.

check your wrist size before ordering
I liked the look of this strap, and it worked fine as a replacement for my timex, but the length is way short, I was only able to use the first three holes.Due to the fact that it was too short it did not properly latch and my watch actually fell off and that's the story of how I lost my favorite watch.Make sure you check your wrist size.

Pour le prix, très beau produit.
Bonne qualité, livré dans une boîte avec un outil pour enlever l'ancien bracelet. Très joli et conforme aux photos ainsi qu'à la description.

Almost perfect
Goods arrived inside target time. Very well made and packaged. Easily fitted except the fixing pin on my Rotary watch fouled the watch case. (black mark, Rotary!) However I managed to use the (bent) Rotary pin. The other strap fitted perfectly. Definitely recommend the product. I knocked a star off because I think they should be a few mm longer but they do look nice. I need to lose a bit of weight!

Good quality band, at a good price
I've had this band for the best part of two weeks, and I'm already looking to buy a bunch of other Fullmosa bands in different colours, because of how good this one is. The fact that they include a quick release system in a watch band priced this low is pretty solid. They also give you a free watch strap removal tool, so you can remove your other watch strap to put this one on.

Easy to fit and good quality
The strap on my wife's watch broke and I bought this to replace it, it was easy to fit and looks good quality. The price was good and delivered next day, what more could I ask for? The wife is happy so I am happy....

Questionable quality, broke after few months
Good value in comparison to similar Fossil straps for example.However lasted less than 4 months then broke - whilst I was wearing it - where attaches to watch as shown. Have never had any leather strap break like that before.
