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.
There aren't many good vegan leather watch straps out there, but this turned out to be the perfect one, even coming in odd sizes like 19mm, and with quick release tabs to boot. If you're a vegan looking for a good watch strap, or even just someone looking for a good strap in general, I'd highly recommend this. Also I was extremely pleased with the customer service from Holben's.
As a vegan who just got into watches, I'm glad that there are so many non-leather straps out there, but this strap is an especially fantastic option. It's smooth and comfortable to wear, and it has a similar texture to real leather. The light brown color pairs well with a wide variety of dials. I bought it specifically for my SNK805, and it complements the green dial nicely. The fact that it's made from a family-owned Italian business is just the cherry on top. Definitely going to get more of these EcoSuede straps!
