Holben’s Fine Watch Bands Reviews

Great service. Fast shipping. Easy returns. Would highly recommend. Staib 2792...

I have purchased a number of Hirsch quick release watch straps, mostly for older watches whose original straps or bracelets have worn out, or when the oem strap is terrible. Shown are three of my straps, all bought from Holben. The Citizen Eco-Drive diver is on a Hirsch Accent Black Rubber strap. The Omega Speedmaster chronograph (my father's watch) is on a Hirsch Tiger Performance black leather strap. Finally, the Seiko PADI diver is on a Hirsch Arne Performance Sailcloth black strap. I think they are great!
Also, I did have an issue with a strap and Holben's/Mike were very responsive and helpful. Many thanks

I placed my first order with Holben's recently. I bought the Urban Gentry collaboration with Fluco on the leather watch case. The case itself is fantastic with soft leather and great construction. My shopping experience with Holben's was one of the best in a long time. I placed my order and literally 20 minutes later recieved an email that the item was shipped. Two days later it was in my mailbox. Incredible!!

Fantastic strap. Love Holben’s.

Introduced to high quality watch band (fluco) which I hadn’t heard of before. Made in Germany, with fabulous reviews, so I trust the quality. Looks great with my citizen watch. Price is definitely fabulous as well. The owner dealt with all my questions in an extremely professional, patient manner. The sellers inventory is quite extensive and appears to consist only of very high quality bands. This is a big step up from the Chinese bands I had been looking at and the price is only a drop higher. The Fluco is high quality with an unusual color combination of black rubber with blue stitching. Now eyeing another band Benetto Cirturini, for a watch that I have been having trouble obtaining a suitable band for, a Dubey and Schalenbrand. This is a very sentimental watch for me and I’m extremely happy I stumbled onto Holben. The watch is also not cheap so I don’t have to trust my possession to an inferior band where my watch might very well end up at the bottom of a lake. With the combination of high quality as well as a very knowledgeable and communicative seller don’t hesitate to trust your favorite watches to Holbens.

Mike went above and beyond to help me get my dad’s watch band on time for his birthday! The band I originally ordered was a bit different in color than what I was expecting, so when I placed a replacement order Friday evening, Mike made sure to drop it off before the post office closed, and it arrived in time! I’ll definitely be purchasing from here again!

A+++

I have quite a few watches in my collection and enjoy changing the straps. Holben's has become my go to strap supplier. It carries great strap selection from a variety of well-known companies at reasonable prices, the customer service is literally second to none. Thank you Holben’s team!

Second NATO strap. First one aged out after 5 years of saltwater use and world travel. Got a green colored rubber NATO to match the barrel this time. Comfortable and light and decent longevity.

Simply put, good quality and solidly built. Thank you!

Great strap...nice leather...good price...and fast shipping. The strap truly compliments my Grand Seiko in Katsuiro indigo dial. Being a Washingtonian, it's always nice & proud to know they're in our backyard. Thank you

I am so glad I found Holbens. By far the best US selection of top quality watch bands. Most hard to find except in Europe fair prices and very quick ship

I ordered 2 straps for my new watches. First time buying aftermarket straps and the plethora of options provided in varying lud widths is what drew me into Holbens. The shipping time was speedy despite being close to the holiday season. After receiving my straps, one had a slight defect on the band, so I reached out to inquire about potential replacement. Mike, the owner, replied within 24 hours and offered to replace the strap with a new pair in the same or different color or a full refund. The customer service provided left me very satisfied. I have maybe written 5 reviews in my lifetime so when I do write one, it means I truly am happy with the store. I plan to shop on Holben's for my future strap purchases.

I can't say enough good things about Holben's. Selection is excellent, prices are great, and the customer service is literally second to none. The only disappointment is when they don't carry the brand you might have been after. All retail businesses could learn from Holben's and particularly from their ethics and business standards. Kudos, Mike.

Thank you for expediting my order so quickly. I ordered my strap on Saturday and it arrived on Tuesday. My ColaReb Strapple is a vegan strap. The material is made from discarded apple membrane. The look, feel, grain, and texture are quite similar to calf leather. This vivid green strap pairs perfectly with my very pedestrian , inexpensive Seiko quartz. The watch is now the “Beautiful Beater”.

Thanks again ,
Sid

Holben's continues to be consistently one of the best retailers of watch accessories in the US. The process is efficient and in many cases shipping is so fast, it feels like they used a drone for delivery. They carry stock of the best "long wait" manufacturers like Erika's Originals, showing they truly understand watch enthusiasts.

Amazing customer service from Holben's!!!!! Hands down one of the best experiences purchasing a watch strap over the internet! Extremely helpful and super quick turnaround! Love the look this bracelet gives to my new Marathon GSAR!

Hello Mike, Just a note to tell you how much I’m enjoying the Fluco Suede Strap. I have a bunch of their Straps, and they always look and feel great. Just fitted the Nizza Brown, which is the Chocolate shade, to the Emerald GO, and I’m getting Compliments left and right. Thanks again for your Top Notch Service and Selection.
Regards,
M. Berger

I have been dealing with Mike for about 10 years and have consistently gotten excellent customer service. Just perfect in every way; Quality products, prompt shipping and friendly world class service.

I had an issue with a purchase, and Mike's team resolved the issue immediately. All products from Holben's have been great quality, and they arrive quickly. Look forward to more excellent purchases.

I have heard great things about Holbens from TGV on YouTube, he raves about their Straps! Since coming on this site to get a couple Forstner Bracelets at a discount I've discovered a few great Strapmakers I'd not heard of. I just bought my first Artem Hydroflex on Holbens which I've been interested in for quite some time. Now I'm very interested in Erika's Originals since I can get Bronze Hardware for my Bronze Glycine Airman and Bronze Oris Pointer Date. I'm also really interested in Haveston and Rios1931 too!

Mike and his team's selection of straps, and service, are phenomenal. Everything I've ordered has arrived super promptly. As a primarily smartwatch wearer, my benchmark for quality and comfort has skyrocketed since shopping with Holben's. When I expressed interested for an out of stock item, Mike was very helpful letting me know when it was available again. Look forward to ordering more great products from Mike and team!

These guys only post 5 star reviews. Any negative comments get trashed and you won’t see honest criticism on their website.
These people are also very snarky to deal with. Untrustworthy and not worth the hassle.

I now have Erik's Originals MN watch straps for my Longines Legend Diver, Tag Heuer Formula 1 GMT, Rolex Submariner and Muhle Glashutte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer. I have different color straps to go with the season and mood. I love the security the watch has with this strap, the comfort no matter what the temperature of activity and the unique look. I have attached aq couple of picture of the strap currently on the Submariner

I saw this tan canvas strap on a speedmaster and wow, what a great look! Comfortable, durable and it fits my smaller wrist with room to work. I ordered the green next.
