Fossil Men's 24mm Leather Interchangeable Watch Band Strap, Color: Black (Model: S241079)

Good quality genuine leather. Takes a little time to break in as with all leather goods, but it's a sign of good quality. Item received is exactly as depicted based on the pictures from the menu selection: bought the Silver/Black Stiched Leather. The first loop seems a little close to the silver buckle; it's a little difficult to get the strap through it especially while still breaking in the leather so I'll see if it gets easier over time.We'll see how it holds up to wear and I'll try to update in a week, month, and year if possible. Looks like where the easy install springs are that the leather would be the first to tear there if it tears at all. Also interested in seeing how the area where it gets folded to go through the buckle and loops holds up.UPDATE: after about one weekStill doing well, the leather has broken in nicely. Added 3 photos for one week's worth of wear. Scuffed and scratched the leather while wearing and still looks pretty good, so the leather is definitely fairly good quality.

I have some arthritis in my wrist and occasionally, my watch can press the wrong way against the bone. This is just the right shape to distribute the watch's footprint on my wrist and protect from incidental hot spots.I don't use the included straps. I just use the bottom pad and run the one-piece 22mm Bertucci Canvas strap through the slots. It works perfectly. It looks good with Bertucci's brown and field khaki case colors.My only complaint is the strong smell. It smells like cheap department-store leather. That smell isn't the leather itself but the chemicals used in tanning and treating it. Higher quality leather does not smell like that. Since the price includes the straps, I suppose that is to be expected. If that is an issue for you, and especially if you only plan to use the pad section, consider commissioning one from a leather craftsman.

I bought this Fossil leather band because I thought it would be high quality. Unfortunately this leather band quickly discolors after wear on outside. This is after 6 months after what I would characterize as typical use. I have other leather watch bands for other watch bands with usage longer than 6 months that doesn't have any discoloration.Would not recommend in general, and especially for the price point

This is a good watch band. I returned it because I thought it would be more of a cognac color. It is called "brown," but it is extremely orange-ish. I still gave it 5 stars for quality. The issue was that it would be difficult to wear with most of my accessories. I looked up another band by the same maker that labeled a "pink" band. It looked cream beige, which is what I wanted. I looked on the manufacturer website to make double sure, and the picture clearly showed it WAS a pink hue. Sometimes the coloring in the picture is off. If you don't mind a more orange brown, you wont be disappointed. Fit my 16mm watch perfectly.

Not the same band pictured. Decent quality. Just not what I ordered.

Great quality strap, our family has small wrists so the fossil watch I bought with the metal band would not fit unless I brought it to a Fossil Store to unlink some bands. Not really a luxury to do and I do not like how metal bands feel on my wrist anyhow so I opted for purchasing this band. It's great and soft and feels of high quality. Only gripe I have about this product is that it gets really hot and causes you to sweat, since the inner part of the band is rough leather sweat soaks through and given time, it would smell bad. All-in-all this band is great if you have small wrists like me.

Replacing a 1990 Fossil men's watch band was a cinch. Easy with spring lever, durable, well made. The buckle looks like gold until the light reflects at the right angle then it does have a rose gold tint to it. I was trying to match a gold rim face, it will do fine. I like all the hole options. Being female, I have a tiny wrist. I ordered a 2nd color to switch out. Very happy with quality.

I've had a Fossil going on 7 years now and the band broke on me. Normal wear and tear. This one looks and feels a lot better than the original, which was a surprise. Usually, replacements aren't as good as the original. The installation was easy and quick and it makes my watch, model FS4745 look amazing and even more sophisticated than before. I can tell this band will last at least a good 5 years of heavy use, which is all you can really ask for, considering the price.

it is what it says it is

Purchased after my husband's original toffee-coloured watch band had worn through. He wanted the another brown leather one - which we also bought! - but I took a chance that the blue leather would also be a good match. It surpassed our expectations and looks great. Very happy with the quality and look of the new band and am checking out the other colours as stocking stuffer options.

Compré esta correa para reemplazar la que tenía anteriormente por mal cuidado que le dí y esta correa original fue la respuesta, muy similar a la que traía antes mi reloj, eso si es un poco más delgada pero no se siente de baja calidad ni nada por el estilo, si es algo cara pero si tienes un reloj de la misma marca o al menos de la misma gama de precios opino que lo vale, puesto que se ve bien y se siente sólida

La correa es de muy buena calidad, mucho más gruesa de las que había podido comprar en las tiendas de reparación de relojes, tiene gravado la marca en la parte metálica y gravado por el dorso con el logotipo y el número del modelo. Al tacto las primeras veces es un poco rígido, sin embargo con algunos días de uso eso deja de sentirse.El producto lo adquirí en oferta, cuando bajó a $570 pesos unos 28 dólares, cobraron muy poco de envío a México.The strap is of a very good quality, much thicker than what I had been able to buy in watch repair shops, it is engraved with the brand on the metal part and engraved on the back with the logo and the model number. To the touch the first few times it is a bit stiff, however with a few days of use that stops being felt.I bought the product on sale, when it dropped to $ 570 pesos, about $ 28, they charged very little for shipping to Mexico.

This band may seem a little pricey but it's a pretty solid piece of leather and far better quality than the standard band my watch came with. Looks awesome and fits my Fossil Explorist perfectly. Does take a little time to work in the leather, like stated previously, it's a pretty solid piece of leather
