They are very popular for military style watches too, or at least, the sites that sell them seem to indicate that. THey are inexpensive and can be just about whatever color you want.

Interesting, I've never seen them in leather before.

good looking bands there..by the way.

I sweat a lot which eventually makes a leather or fabric strap/band smell. I tend to stick with rubber or metal (I like that the rubber is lighter weight). The good rubber also smells like vanilla.

I do have some leather, but usually swap those on if I'm going out and want the watch to have a different look.
