UPDATE: Liked this so much, I bought a second one, in black, for a Charmex Swiss Military (Hawk Nero) watch. It came with a decent canvas, leather backed strap, but it was one of those cases where it was either one hole too loose, or one hole too tight, and I remembered this strap (original review below) that fit so well. Looks great on the olive-faced, black case pilot/military style watch. Quality of this second one was as perfect as the first one.Original review:Very phenomenal find, and under twenty bucks! Easily on par with straps for which I've paid more than double, in terms of price.I have one Citizen watch I've never really liked. A somewhat un-friendly design for its multifunction abilities, a bezel that is a tad too loose are a few of its quirks, but I realized the other day that the strap it came with is one of the main things that annoys me about it. It's genuine leather, but thin and overly shiny and very cheap looking/feeling, kind of bringing down the whole look/feel of the watch itself, so I decided to see if a new strap would bring some interest back to the watch, so it isn't just forever relegated to being a display piece in my watch collection.The case and dial leans to a field/pilot look, so the existing strap was somewhat incongruent, and I thought that this heavier, rustic look might be the answer.This strap certainly did the job, breathing new life into this watch!This is one of the best straps I've bought over the years, to be honest, and very surprising at this price point. Generously thick, genuine leather, yet very supple and forms easily to the wrist. A nice finish on both the inner and outer surfaces. Beautifully made, and very sturdy, not a stitch out of place. Stylish buckle. Came with pin sleeves and pins, although I opted for just the pins, with no issues (pin sleeves make it more difficult to remove, and I like to be able to take it off for cleaning and conditioning as needed).I did give it a treatment with Mink Oil, for added protection, and, as expected, it darkened a bit, to a very handsome chocolate hue and is now even more soft and flexible (with added water and stain shielding).It gave the watch a much more upscale and masculine look, which was perfect, since it was a field watch style design, making this beefy strap an ideal addition.This is now a watch I'll wear often, thanks to this great strap.Highly, highly recommend!

Even though I had to modify the connection area, this is stellar watch band.Looked great on the site, ordered it and modified it to fit my watch. Very easy to do as well.Looked even nicer than the one I had prior to this.Stellar job making this!

The parts were longer which I wanted and fit perfectly but the band is much thicker which I hope will mean it will last longer.

The first thing I did when I got my original Huawei Watch back in early 2016 was to upgrade the ugly watch band it came with for something else. I wanted something wide like a 22mm instead of an 18mm because in my opinion it looks more masculine when it's wider. I ordered the 22mm dark brown Berfine and made small cuts at the ends where it attaches to the watch to make it fit the 18mm opening. It worked and looked great. (You can see how it looks on the zoomed picture of the black Berfine band).About a year goes by and one day while I was replacing brakes on a vehicle while wearing my watch (dumb, I know), I got a big slash mark down the watch band. The band was still functional but I didn't like the mark so I purchased the light brown 22mm band to replace it.I've been using the light brown watch band now for 2 years and finally the band loop wore down to the point where there's no more leather on one of the corners (you can see this in the picture). At this point, the band is absolutely beautiful. It looks aged and weathered with a ton of character. However, I can't wear a band that's flopping around on me and watch band loops are stupid expensive. So, with reluctance, I decided to purchase another band.I did a lot of searching to see if there are any other bands out there I would like to try. I am limited in my search because I can't get a band with quick release pins because I need to cut the band to make it more narrow and the process would cut into the quick release portion of the band and reduce its lifespan considerably. Well, after a long search, I came back to Berfine and decided to try the black band. It gives the watch a totally different look and is made with as much quality as the previous bands. I'm excited to see what it looks like after it starts to age.An important note on the color. The bands darken over time, as you would expect with real leather. You'll see the most darkening occur in the first 2 months or so. If you want a dark brown, consider getting the light brown as it will darken nicely over time. The dark brown band turns a very dark brown, almost to a black. Both browns are beautiful, but take the darkening into consideration when you're making your decision on which to buy.An important note on the fit. It will stretch and conform to your arm. I suggest using a hole that may seem too snug at first, but after a short time (a few weeks), it will fit perfectly.I may update this review in a few years to show how the black band looks and report on its wear. I fear the watch itself will give up before the current watch band, as the battery is slowly fading. I do believe it has another year or so before either I take it apart and replace the battery or purchase something new.I hope this helps someone who is looking for a new watch band to make their decision.

I've now ordered three Berfine watch bands, but only one of this Panerai style. I put it on a Citizen "Atomic Time" watch, model AT4000-02E. It looks and feels great, but for this watch you need to bend the pins slightly so the band fits. That's not unheard of for some watches, but because of this you can't really use the included tubes for the pins. The watch didn't come with a deployment clasp, but it probably wouldn't fit because the band is 24mm throughout its length. I really like the buckle on this band, and I tend not to be a fan of buckles since I generally find the deployment clasps superior. I think the 4mm thickness is perfect for the 24mm width and for my watch. My Citizen band also measures 4mm thick in the center, but it tapers toward the edges and therefore feels thinner. The Berfine band is 4mm thick from end to end and edge to edge.The color of the black band I received is definitely black, but it has no sheen and may at first appear slightly muted because the stitching is slightly off-white--even a light tan or beige.As mentioned in my other review, I haven't owned any of these Berfine bands long enough to know about their longevity, but they seem very well made and I like the aesthetic. Will report back if they wear out quickly or have other issues.
