Fantastic quality and style. This replaces a previous one of the same, which had served well for a couple of years. Yes, it started off the same colour :-) Wearing it daily, including regular workouts, but take it off for the shower. Along the way I lost the second loop (no surprise there) and eventually it began stretching and potentially tearing alongside the larger holes. I've kept the old one as an emergency backup. I will continue buying Barton bands for this watch - it complements and enhances the style of the watch perfectly, and I love the way the leather patinas over time. Significantly better quality than anything else I've tried.
