Could you discuss the pros and cons, likes and dislikes of different materials: canvas, silicone, leather, etc.? Thank you

Silicone is totally waterproof, mainly used on diver type watches. It's soft and pliable but can feel sweaty because it doesn't breath. Obviously, it's cleanable. Canvas looks very retro and is very comfortable. It does stain but is cleanable. Can get sweat-soaked. Leather is stiffer but flexible when it breaks in. It can be cleaned but will eventually get kind of grungy from I m sweat and body oils. Basically, every material except stainless should be considered temporary, but silicone will usually last a a few years. These bands are much better than average in my opinion.

Is the navy blue a dark blue? it seems like royal blue in the customer images.

Our Navy Blue shade is actually the same Pantone color as the navy blue used by the British Royal Navy, which is where the color originated.

Are these bands good for running? As in, are they breathable?

They aren't breathable, but no silicone really is. At the very least, a silicone band with holes in it (similar to ones you can get for a Garmin) offer some air circulation.

Can the band's quick release buttons get hit accidentally and have the band fall off?

I have had that problem several times -- when gardening. It only started happening after about 6 months, making me think the pin is looser after months of use. I don't want this band to act like a cat collar quick release every time I bump it -- or I'll lose my watch! So I'm unsure whether to order a new band or a different type of band.
