Guide to your choice
To find the best strap for your watch and your wrist, you need to know the different lengths and sizes available. Follow the steps below:
Lug width
To determine the width of the lugs of your watch, use a metric ruler to measure the distance between the two lugs (the protruding ends to which the strap is attached).
Strap length
For optimal use of the watch, it is essential to purchase a strap of a length suitable for your wrist. Measure the length of the last strap that felt comfortable.
Buckle size
All ColaReb straps are supplied with a stainless steel buckle (polished or satin-finished depending on the model), on which the ColaReb logo is engraved. If you want to use the buckle from a previous strap (for example, the one supplied with the watch), compare the size of your buckle with the one in the product description.
Strap thickness
From an aesthetic point of view, thin or flat watches are better matched to thin straps, while robust and large watches require a thicker strap for better ergonomics and a more homogeneous design.
Replacing the strap
To remove the old strap from the lugs of your watch and install the new one, follow the steps below:
The strap is usually attached to the watch with spring bars. Use a spring bar tool to locate the end of the spring bar between the strap and the case.
Then, push in the end of the bar to extract it from the hole in the case and remove the first side of the strap. Perform the same operation on both sides.
Replacing the buckle
To remove the buckle, use a spring bar tool as you would for the strap. Place the tool between the buckle and the strap on one side, and push the end of the spring bar towards the center.
Remove the spring bar using the spring bar tool.

Bought this for a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm silver version) and wore it every day for a couple of weeks or so. The watch has 20mm lugs, so that's the version I got. With my wrist and the size of the watch, I end up using the fourth hole from the lug.
So far, it seems sturdy and comfortable, although the buckle feels kind of flimsy. It's a rather tight fit in the lugs for this particular watch, but I was able to squeeze it in and make it fit. Maybe with time and wear, it might improve. I think it fits the watch's look well enough (depending on the watch face, of course): I hoped to make it look a bit less like a smartwatch than with the original strap, and I think it achieves that goal as well as any strap can. Don't get me wrong, it still looks very much like a tech product, but that can't really be helped due to the design Samsung chose.
Picked up an EcoSuede vegan strap to replace the stock strap on my Dan Henry 1970. It elevates the watch,
is comfortable on wrist and looks 100% like leather suede. I can't help wonder what else is possible with this
approach, croc, lizard, ostrich etc.
Very nice quality, durability and comfort. I got the 20mm in rust for an old Timex Weekender
Quality product, comfortable, and charming.
Beautiful brown synthetic suede in 16mm, a rare find for those who want a cruelty-free strap for their smaller watches.
Looks awesome with my Tag 6000!
As of now I've worn this for several weeks and it still feels just like day one. It feels lightweight and breathable in a way that leather simply can't. A perfect summer strap for when you don't want an overly sporty look.
The title says it all. The color and finish are a perfect complement to my watch.
I'd rather give this 4.5 stars, but rounding down to 4 didn't seem fair so 5 it is.
Overall it is a great strap. Stitching is high quality, it is thin and flexible. The pile of the suede is rather low and seems like it will age well, but I have no idea as its the first vegan suede I've ever had. It is also very light and the color is accurate to the website pics.
Cons: (these are minor) It is a long strap. I have 7.25" wrists, and this is a large watch (51mm L2L) and yet I am on the 2nd or 3rd hole. The way the 1st protector ring is placed the tang of the buckle almost always gets stuck under it when I remove the watch. It also seems a little expensive, but I guess that is due to the vegan part (which I don't care about, just liked the color / style and it came recommended).
I like the strap a lot and would recommend it.
This is a great alternative to leather. The stitching is flawless. I highly recommend.
