for Galaxy Watch3 45mm Bands/Galaxy Watch 46mm Bands, 22mm Quick Release Genuine Leather Replacement strap with Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 45mm Smartwatch

Better Than Expected
I liked the quality and the look was great. I had a leather band on my GW 5 that was too narrow and just didn’t look right. This one fits the way it should. It was easy to get on and off and really upped the aesthetic of the watch. This was important because the watch it really a sports centered watch. So not being able to swap the strap easy would mean the nice leather band would quickly get destroyed by the sport. I can swap the bands out for different occasions easily which makes this band more accessible for those dual-purposing the watch. Great band for the price and I would buy it again.

Value for money, looks and feels great and fits the Samsung Galaxy watch perfectly
This is a inital quality review. Fits the Samsung Galaxy Watch perfectly. I had to buy this because Samsung’s factory rubber strap was very poor quality and tore within 4 months (see black strap in picture).The look and feel of this strap is great.. easy to install and color grading is as I expected. Initially the strap is expected to feel stiff. Will upgrade durability to 5 stars if it holds the test of time.Many people have complained the strap size is small, for me its fits well. It is the same size as the original Samsung strap.

Leather wore out quickly
Looks great however I have noticed a lot of wear and tear on the band despite only wearing it for a few weeks.

Great replacement
Seems thicker and more sturdy than the OEM band. Also, the OEM band “bled” leather dye on the inside of the cuff of my dress shirts and this one doesn’t, so there’s a plus. It’s a bit rigid, but I like that because it holds it’s shape well after I broke it in. The stiffness does make it a bit of effort to slide in under that first loop after fastening, but that hasn’t seemed to compromise it’s strength to this point.

Band arrived within 24 hours. It was exactly as described. It is quite easy to securely place the 22mm band on watch using the new Samsung- like preinstalled band lug with exposed latch to spring loaded to easily and securely attached each of the two band pieces. The leather of the band was smooth, soft, and very beautifully finished in a medium chestnut brown color. It was a warmer, more appealing shade of brown than the original band. The only issue that I noted when I wore the band for the first time was slight puckering of the leather of the band near the perforations used to hold the band in place. However, the puckering in the leather disappeared after several days use as it accommodated to my wrist. I also may have caused undue torque on the new band while placing the free end of the band through the first fixed leather strap which was close to my wrist and then under the second movable strap. This kept the overlapping portions of the band together and prevented loosening of the band and fraying of the edges of the band.The fit and finish of the metal buckle was excellent and surpassed the original in appearance. A constant state of repeating delamination became a chronic problem with the Samsung original 2-piece band (which l had tried to glue back together unsuccessfully many times and even resorted to professional watchmaker repairs on several times but these attempts were also without success). The new Otopo band is neatly stitched along its edges (as well as glue laminated) which makes me believe that this is a superior design than the original version. Further the entire Otopo band look complimented the slightly rugged and deliberate utilitarian style of the watch. In the two weeks that I have used the band daily in all manner of sports (including summer perspiration inducing activities plus the occasional inadvertent but necessary urgent shower) the band still looks and works like new. I am pleased with the band, were I to want to upscale the watch looks I would purchase the two-band combination pack. The combo pack included a polished black leather, crocodile skin embossed looking band which adds a smooth, elegant, and more expensive look to the watch and the more traditional rugged look of the brown stitched leather band. This 2-band combination pack is only slightly more expensive than the brown band alone and adds quite a versatile, utilitarian, and fashionable range of styles to the single simple Samsung Galaxy smartwatch band. I remain pleased with the brown band but was seriously considering the combination pack because of the markedly unique styles and uses it added to the watch.

Very happy with this watch strap, a little stiff at 1st use but great modern look.
