Canvas series

The quick release straps are easy to install. It felt stiff when I first took it out of the package, but it feels comfortable on my wrist after wearing it for a few minutes. The canvas seems to be in very good quality - it feels sturdy. The black buckle looks nice. I hope they will release a color similar to the Pantone Pine Grove color one day! I think a deep dark green will good well with the canvas.

Beautiful band. Good quality. Some review say it’s not elastic, but i disagree. It’s what you would expect from a brand new band. It will break in. Super easy to install.

out of the envelope the band was exactly what i was looking for. Installation was easy and it looks great on my Citizen Eco-Drive watch. The band is a little stiff at first but working it a little loosens it up and gives it some form. The eyelets are reinforced, which was a must have for my bands. The pins go in easily and it fits perfectly. The only draw back is that to register the band I put in my order number but the system doesn't recognize the order number. Not a big deal because I feel this band should last well beyond it's 1yr warranty period. **Update** June 8, 2022 So I bought another exact replacement to this one, same color and sticking a couple days ago because over the past several months the color has severely faded. The band is now a reddish brown color. That is the only quarrel I have. The band doesn’t look bad it’s just not black anymore. Fit form and function are still as they were when I bought it, just not as stiff as brand new but that’s expected. I also bought a Barton band and will wear that one till if feel the color has given up and put on the replacement Ritchie band. To the band’s creator I have worn the band comfortably since 10/2021 when I received it. Wear to work, in the yard, on the bike, sweated on it, hiked with it haven’t been easy on it. Ya it’s gunna fade. Wasn’t expecting the fade to happen so quick but it seems like it’s a dyed canvas. Original Citizen band was green canvas so it never faded after almost 10 years of wear. Those got nasty because of the leather backing. For less than $20 I’d say this is a good replacement band. Only knocked it down a star to 4 because it faded noticeably after 6 months. Don’t remember exactly because it still did it’s job. Oh and the color never bled on me or died my skin. That was something I was concerned about with the dyed canvas. Great watch band.

My Garmin Venu 2 is a smart watch I really like. However, the silicon band would often irritate my skin, especially in warm or high-humidity weather. I replaced it with a metal band, it soon began to fall apart. I really wanted a more natural material, which brought me to either canvas or leather. Combining either canvas or leather with a smartwatch can be tricky, as the appearance can become trashy quickly. My first leather band was a big fail. I still own it but wish I didn't. This time I spent way too much time browsing and looking at canvas options. I was very uncertain when I ordered this one. Now that I've been wearing it for more than a week, I can tell you that I'm thrilled. First, this band it tough. You can visually see the high-quality stitching. And the cloth actually feels nice. It isn't rough, or fraying. It is a nice, double-layered, stout canvas. The quick attachment to my watch was super easy. I put it on upside down the first time...as you do. But realized it, made the switch, no issues. The band is stable, I don't see any strange gaps, it hasn't slipped, it working perfectly. And the gray/blue color matches my gray watcher perfectly. In my free time, I coach football and lacrosse. Clearly that level of activity level can be rough on a watch and band. I have no concerns with this one. The watch is held firmly in place and the fabric won't have any issues. The only thing I am uncertain about is cleaning the band. I'm sure that will be a task in the summer months. But given the other high-quality signs, I'm not overly concerned. If you're looking for a band that fits your needs like I was, this one gets two thumbs up from me...and I might need to order some other colors in the future.

Exactly what I wanted and needed to replace Fit perfect and easy to install good quality would purchase again

Bought this band just before the quarantine. Thought it would be a great band for work, as I cannot have flashy colors or designs as part of my uniform. The band and I have spent the year on furlough, picking up an odd or end here and there, but mostly been my daily driver around the house and doing small jobs around the house. I am definitely hard on my watch bands though, I do not take it off while working or really pay attention to it while pulling wire, working in tight spaces, or near abrasive materials. It didn't take long for the band to break in, the canvas loosened up a bit and conformed to my wrist. The look is quite subdued and a style I really enjoy. I have owned a few canvas bands from Ritche as well as Burton, and they all end up with a certain musk that can be quite unappealing, so be sure to wash the band and avoid showering or swimming with them. My only issue is with the retained loop, it started showing signs of wear early on, but it gave the strap character and looked fine. Now, a year later it actually gave in and wore all the way through, snapping while I was moving a dresser in my home. That prompted me to grab another Ritche band (black on black this time) and toss this one into my vallet for the next time I need to climb into the attic or get some yardwork done. In the end, the band lasted a bit longer than my previous canvas bands, I will likely stick with Ritche for a while, so long as they remain competitively priced and maintain their quality.

Its a good watch band. Its light weight but it feels study and solid. It was easy to install.

I bought the watch band expecting the quality to be satisfactory. But wearing the watch band for about 4 weeks it looked like it was worn for years. The quality was quite poor. I didn't wear it in the water or sports related just everyday wear and it was color faded. I contacted Ritchie through Amazon and requested a refund; Ritchie chose to send me a replacement band instead. I wrote back to them using product support directly to Ritchie asking to return the item and the refund. I was told by Ritchie I needed to go through Amazon returns even though the return window had closed. Not at all enamored with Ritche customer service or their watchbands. Buyer Beware.

The material is as expected, stiff and rougher than softer materials, such as leather. *Loop to insert tab is frayed and torn from normal, not extraordinary, use. No incident outside of what should be considered normal wear and tear. Disappointed in this one weak point causing the strap to be unwearable.

Excellent quality and service

Compré esta correa para mi citizen eco drive y no me defraudó...le qudó muy bien y el color de las costuras hizo juego con el color del dial del reloj, es muy parecido al original pero en nylon y sin problema para colocarlo, viene con sus pernos para que uno mismo lo coloque sin problema y por un precio muy accesible.

comfortable and easy to change onto watch

Out of this world delivery time...4045 miles from Jacksonville FL to Kirkwall Orkney Scotland. I ordered this on the 3rd of May and only 5 days later, today the 8th of May I have it, I gave 5 stars on that alone...As for the the product, strong and long lasting material on this watch strap and it will last decades. So so happy with my purchase and I'm recommending my friends and family to this seller. Outstanding. Thank you so much.
