Out of laziness, I have kept this strap on and never swapped to my original band for workouts or bike rides or anything. That said, it has withstood a variety of situations, and I'm all for it. The leather is soft and holds up against workouts and rough use.
I did have one little snag, walking past my bedroom door, I think I clipped the side and the entire strap popped out of the apple-watch slider itself. I don't think it was an issue with the strap though and hasn't happened since.

Highly recommend this watch strap, as it feels great and matches well when I want to have a more stylish look for work. This is my 3rd Harber London product, my wife and I both have iPad sleeves and those have been great as well

Freat!
