The watch band looks nice and the blue is a navy that complements the lighter blue face of my watch. But the strap is padded, which was not in the description and makes the strap very stiff. I personally do not like padded straps as their stiffness makes watches uncomfortable (for me) to wear. This is a personal preference of course. The main reason for the three stars is that the description did not mention the padding, and none of the pictures (except the last one if you look really closely) made it clear that the strap is padded. So if you like padded straps, then I think that you will be quite pleased with this one. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
