Ritche Christmas Gift Quick Release Leather Watch Band 18mm 20mm 22mm Genuine Watch Strap for Men and Women, White Elephant Gifts, Stocking Stuffers For Men

I purchased the grey suede strap for $19 in November 2023. It comes in a very basic plastic bag with just the strap and no tools. Now if you're as into watches as I am, you probably have a ton of spring bar tools laying around so it's no problem, but I think it still would have been nice if Ritche included one for those who may not have one. The strap itself seems to be of great quality right out of the box. It is stamped genuine leather, but at this price point it's difficult to expect much more, and it seems thick enough that it'll hold up over time with proper care. The suede has a nice, soft texture as well. The buckle feels nice and sturdy, and is unbranded which is nice. The only branding is on the under side of the strap where it is not visible when worn. It appears to have drilled holes as well which should making changing the buckle a breeze as well. It comes with quick change spring bars which I highly appreciate, and they feel substantial in operation, giving you confidence that they're not going to fail easily. All in all, Ritche is a great budget watch strap choice, and likely sits at the top of the list for best "genuine leather" straps. If you want better than this, you'll have to pay a little more for top grain or full grain.

This strap won't wow anyone. It's not full grain or cordovan and it's some high end supple piece. But for the money it doesn't the job well. It looks nice and feels well made. The speed bars are easy to use and appreciated. It's also very comfortable immediately which I like. Overall I'd buy it again, it's a nice strap at a good price.

I purchased two of these, the 'brown' and 'black', and love them. •They were very flexible and comfortable on first use. •Despite being lower grade leather, the black strap has good texture and the brown strap shows a small amount of pull-up color when flexed. •Quick-release pins are a godsend. •After a month of use, both are holding up well. The brown has developed some slight creasing, which typically looks bad on cheaper, more plasticized/glossy leather. In this case however, the brown straps leather has a more matte finish, this combined with the creases and pull-up discoloration give it a patinaed look. The only issue I have had with these straps was that one of the stitches on the black set was frayed right out of the box. Luckily it is not very noticeable, and I plan to replace the stitch myself if it gets to be too bothersome, but it is objectively an issue with the production of the strap. Besides that one issue, these things are fantastic for the price.

I've purchased several canvas and NATO straps from Ritche, so I felt very comfortable purchasing this leather strap. I am glad that I did. You can't go wrong for the price. The leather is very supple with a great vintage-looking finish. It is very comfortable and durable, holding up to sweat and strenuous activity so far. The buckle is very nicely done, with the pin fitting flatly on to the rest of the buckle. Many other straps at this price point (or more than twice as much) have pins that don't seat very well and it snags clothing or scratches my desk. Attaching this to your watch is a breeze. The quick release spring bars make the installation take less than 30 seconds with no tools. As well, they are very secure - I've not had one come out yet, and I'm not gentle on my watches. To summarize: This is a fantastic watch strap and you should just order it already.

Really happy with this one. The leather feels solid and looks even better in person. Shipping was fast, and it showed up exactly as described. No complaints, would definitely buy again.

Feels a little cheap. They don't look as good as the photos suggest.

My watch strap is the 22mm in the Brown color. The strap was very soft out of the packaging and did not need a break in. Installation was a breeze with the quick release system. This is not a traditional "hard" leather strap, it is much more pliable and, therefore, more resistant to cracking but you will not be able to shine this like a dress watch leather. Keep in mind that this is not intended for that. This is more for a rugged look and it nails that perfectly on a pilot style watch. The brown color is beautiful in person and is starting to lighten up in certain places from wearing it consistently for a few weeks adding to the character of the strap. The soft leather along with no hard edges like some other leather straps make it comfortable around the wrist. The metal clasp is smooth all around so you do not have to worry about it gouging or scraping into the leather when putting it on or taking it off. Overall it's a great addition to any watch and can really bring some character to it.

This is my first Ritche strap and I’m impressed with the quality. The leather is considerably thicker than Barton, and the clasp and pins seem thicker and more robust as well. It’s pretty stiff at first, but breaks in nicely. Looks great on a field watch! Fits OK on my 6.25 inch wrist. I’m on the second to last hole, without too much extra sticking out. A shorter length option would be nice though. Be aware that Saddle Brown is much lighter in color than it appears in the product pics. This didn’t bother me at all, since I wanted something more like this color anyway.

I got the brown strap and fit it on my kamasu II (red) It looks great and feels good. It's a bit rigid but I'm assuming it's because that the bracelet is still new, and will be broken in in the future.

The band looks great and good quality leather. Recommended.

Looks very nice. It changed the look of my Tissot watch for better. The leather is soft and feels durable. Best of all it's so easy to attach and detach. No tools required. Once in place it stays in place. All in all a good purchase

Pros: easy to remove and put on, lightweight, comfortable on the wrist Cons: lightweight, makes it feel abit flimsy

I tried it on one of my watches and the strap looks and feels good. I may look for other products: Other leathers, may be ones that have a 19 mm or 18 mm lug width.
