FAQ

Q: Do you sell 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.

Need help with sizing?
  • Inspect the underside of your current watch strap for width indicators.

Good quality specialty watch band

I am very happy with the Hirsch James performance leather band. It is made of high quality leather. The reason I call it a specialty band is the rubber inner layer that resists and channels sweat from the outer leather. My experience with ordinary leather bands is that over time, the leather wears from moisture making the leather rough and aged. I generally had to replace the bands because of this about every 2 years. I have been wearing this band while playing tennis and it does not seem to be affected by moisture/sweat like my other bands. I have had it for 3 months and it looks great! Time will tell how durable and sweat resistant it is. I think it will outlast my other bands that I have had. It cost about 2 times the other ones. Is it worth it? I think so. If you have the money and you want a leather band that will resist moisture from sweat, then I highly recommend you check this band out.

Great Strap

These Hirsch performance straps are incredible quality. They are not cheap straps, but the quality truly makes it worth the money. I've gone swimming with these multiple times and they hold up perfectly. With the rubber backing the strap also does not wear out like a normal leather strap would with taking it on and off on a daily basis. I would recommend these straps 100%.

An Excellent Strap

My Hirsch James strap is very well-made and fits my 6 1/2 inch wrist perfectly. I bought the shorter version (110/70), and I appreciate having that option. The Golden Brown version is beautiful, and I love the water-resistant leather and the rubber backing. It is a premium product, but this strap will last a long time and will look great on almost any watch I have. I also have the black version, and it has the same top notch qualities.
Holbens always provides excellent service and the strap arrived in just a few days.
