The edge of the band
"The edge of the band where it goes through the buckle already seems to be peeling, revealing the lighter color underneath. That does appear to be cosmetic, not a structural issue, but it's disappointing. I did like the ease of attachment: the spring bars have a little lever you can pull back with your thumb to snap them right into the lugs. And the band itself is lightweight and comfortable. I wouldn't recommend this particular style, especially for the price. . . if my Timex watch lasts longer than this band (which seems likely), I will try a different type next time."
