Customer Reviews
Erikas Originals are awesome straps. And these vintage ones are even softer and I love the color tones. The fast shipping from Holbens was great.
The spring bar install is simple on it. The fine tuning of the size and getting on and off is a bit more on the complicated side. Once you have it dialed in it’s fairly simple. It looks and feels really good on wrist. Putting it on/taking it off forces you to handle you watch head quite a bit so that can bring about more fingerprints (especially on a titanium watch head).
I’d say the feel and finish makes up for some of the downfalls. But the price vs. ease of use knock it down a star. As others have mentioned…not the easiest to clasp. I think the metal piece it hooks to needs to either be larger or have a separate hook slot.
I tried the titanium and the rubber straps that came with this watch, but Erika's strap was hands down the most comfortable. There was no second place, given my relatively small wrist. I enjoy wearing it, looks great, and is made to last: it's worth every penny—I even bought one for my other watch.
This is the most comfortable watch strap I've ever owned. It fits perfectly and looks great. The clasp takes a minute to get the hang of, but once you do, it's as s easy as can be. And, as always, Holben's shipped it lightning fast.
I ordered this Erika’s Original strap to replace the rubber strap on my Sinn U1-B. I do not care for rubber straps and this one seems fit my needs for ann all weather, and easily cleanable replacement.
This was my first order from Holben’s and my first Erika’s strap. I was impressed with the quality of the strap and surprised at how well the blue matched the face of my Sinn U1. Holben’s shipping was very fast and my transaction went smoothly. I have since ordered a second Erika’s strap from Holben’s for another of the watches in my collection. Overall, I am very pleased and will order from Holben’s again.
