Great straps for the money!
This is probably the third or fourth Ritche watch strap I've bought now over the last several years, and the first non-leather strap I've every bought, at least as far as I can remember. I am a complete watch nerd and while I don't sport $20K Rolexes, I do have a few pretty nice pieces that I treasure. Suffice to say, I'm just as particular about the straps I put on my timepieces as any other watch geek out there, which is to say, pretty dang particular! If any strap is even to be considered, it absolutely must be: maximum durable, well made and look great and no one of those things is more important to me than any other, they are all strict requirements. I have a couple nice ~$200 handmade leather straps in my collection, but I also have several much less expensive ones as well, including these great Ritche straps, which are right up there in quality and durability at 10% the cost of the high end handmade, which is just fine with me, they just have to perform and they have to last and all of them do both. No way I'm gonna risk losing a $1500 watch because of a cheapo strap, which is definitely not defined by cost alone. I've seen many expensive cheap straps costing upward of $100-150 so don't be fooled just 'cause it's expensive!For a lil change of scenery I decided to look for a nice industrial looking "sailcloth" strap this time (which I think might be related to Cordura nylon in some way) for my daily wear Sinn 856 as an alternative to leather, which is definitely a first for me, I've never before so much as considered anything but genuine leather for a watch strap. I looked around at a few $100+ sailcloth straps and then compared with the ~$20 Ritche and I just couldn't see enough of a difference, at least from the photos, to justify that price, especially for non-leather strap. Since I was already familiar with the good quality of the Ritche straps, it wasn't too hard a choice to make. There are quite a few, meaning LOTS and LOTS, of Chinese made straps on the webs and on Amazon and I would imagine many, if not most, are more or less comparable to the Ritche, but since it was already a known quantity for me, I just bought what I know. I got the strap today and I am definitely not disappointed!I'm actually quite impressed and this particular strap exceeded my expectations by quite a fair margin. The sailcloth might in fact be nylon, but if it is it has a much nicer and finer 'finish' and look to it than I would expect for a typical nylon strap and this one also has a very nice leather (leatherette?) lining, all very well done and well put together. Seams and stitching is all perfect and straight with no stray threads or rough corners, all the widths are perfect on both the case and buckle ends and this one also has good quality quick-change spring bars, which is always nice to see and a nice touch, even of they are becoming pretty standard nowadays.All in all - and this review turned out to be WAYYYY longer than I intended (brevity has never been my strong suit) and the Ritche sailcloth strap is exactly what I was looking for on all points, I couldn't be more pleased, especially at the $20-ish price, which is just unbeatable for what you get. It looks terrific and is made just about as well as any mass produced machine-made strap could be. I have every reason to believe it will last for years, which is exactly why my totally indestructible Sinn is my daily wear watch and has been for the decade or so that I've owned it. This Ritche strap suits to a perfect tee!If you're looking for a good quality nice looking strap for your other than Patek Philippe watch, you really can't go wrong with these and I would include their leather straps in that and as much as I don't mind paying the bucks for the quality and the "ya get what ya pay for' axiom is one that I live by, this happens to be one of those rare instances when you just don't need to spend it to get it.

If you're looking for a comfortable sailcloth or canvas band, THIS is the one you want!
I have a smaller wrist and tried a number of different bands on my Bulova Caravelle. They were either too stiff, too limited in holes, etc. Then I found this one. It conforms to the wrist perfectly and is extremely comfortable. My only complaint is that Ritchie doesn't offer color options such as red, light blue, and others. If they did I'd get them all.

Yes, but
Looks very good. Materials are good. Stitches, nope.

Looks Slick and Brings New Life to your Watch
If you’re looking to give your watch a fresh, high-end look without spending a fortune, the Ritche Sailcloth Watch Band is an absolute steal. This watch strap is the perfect blend of sporty and classy, and it looks way more expensive than it actually is. I paired it with my Seiko Speedtimer, and it completely transformed the watch, giving it a sleek, modern vibe that’s perfect for both casual and dressy occasions.The sailcloth material is lightweight, durable, and has a premium texture that feels fantastic on the wrist. It’s the kind of detail that makes people ask, “Where did you get that watch strap?” The quick-release spring bars make changing the band a breeze—no tools required. Seriously, it took me less than a minute to swap out my old strap for this one, and I’m not exactly a watch expert.What really impressed me is how well-made this band is, especially for the price. The stitching is clean, the hardware is solid, and the adjustable buckle ensures a perfect fit. It’s clear that Ritche didn’t cut corners here.In short, the Ritche Sailcloth Watch Band is a fantastic value. It’s stylish, functional, and brings new life to any watch it graces. Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift, this strap is a winner.10/10 for quality, style, and affordability. My Seiko Speedtimer has never looked better! ⌚✨

Looks great / jury out on long term durability
Material is great and good quality. The strap retainer loop part fell apart in no time. It frayed and I kept using it and eventually just completely unraveled.

Good, quality band.
Good quality - not too hard to adjust to wrist size

Looks good, sucks to wear
I bought a set of their silicone one and thought this would be nice to have as an alternative to that. Frankly, go silicone here.First off, there's something wrong with the alignment. Unlike other bands, this one causes the watch to rise up on my wrist, to the point where the watch is upwards on my wrist. I can see the tanlines after this last summer and it's not centered to the wrist. Every time I adjust it, it always goes back a little up from where it should be. This is kinda irritating about it, because it really shouldn't be moving, but it does.The next problem, and likely the worst offender, is that it's uncomfortable. Even after several months of wearing it, the edges just scratch my wrist. The edges as the watch moves about as my wrist moves about begin to rotate and dig into my arm, and it's noticible throughout the day. Silicone is barely noticible at all, the leather (and maybe the edges of the cloth part) just doesn't seem to "break-in" as leather shouldI don't know if it's because I'm new to this kind of band, but it's starting to stink. Like of dead skin, sweat, and BO. I've detatched the strap from the band and washed it throughly with soap multiple times. After a day, it starts to smell again.All in all, it's just not a good band to have. Looks nice, but that's about it. It's not comfortable at all
