FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Very comfortable, excellent design, slightly awkward fit.

I purchased this watch for my Seiko SRPJ15. The subtle black accents against the grey strap look great, and I imagine would look good on any black dial watch. It is very comfortable, the standard quick release is easy to use and seems anchored well, and the clasp feels sturdy. I have a 6.5” wrist, and only the tightest option is viable for me, so if you have a similar sized wrist maybe go with the short option. The only drawback is that the strap is ever so slightly too wide (I purchased the 20mm size) by maybe a quarter of a millimeter so it takes some effort to attach to the watch, but that could just as easily be a failure on Seiko’s side for the dimensions. All in all, very happy with this strap and would purchase again from this brand.

Best watchstrap

Fantastic feel too the skin. Quality all the way!

Nice strap

Love the strap, especially for the money. I was pleasantly surprised by the cutout on the back allowing install/removal without a tool! Where has this feature been all my life.

Excelent strap!

First gray strap and I think it looks great on Hamilton Khaki Chrono

Love it

Love it on my vintage Omega Constellation. My shirt is navy blue and pants are black for color reference. The stock photos were quite representative and the quality is excellent.
