Good quality for the price

This reasonably priced watch strap is well-made and attractive. The aeration holes give it a sporty, racing look. They also allow the band to breathe, resulting in a much lighter and cooler feel than some leather bands in hot weather. A slightly thicker band with a bit of cushion would be an improvement, though the thickness and quality of the leather in the current version is very reasonable given the cost. The only minor downside is that the spring bars that came with the band are on the cheap side. The end pin on one of them would frequently get stuck, resulting in the bar coming out on one side - a risk for losing one's watch. I wound up purchasing a set of much higher quality spring bars but that extra $4 or $5 is certainly worth it! Overall, I am very pleased with this band. At this price, I may get another one with a different color to mix it up.
