FAQ

Q: Do you sell bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Need help with sizing?
  • Inspect the underside of your current watch strap for width indicators.
  • Measure the space between your watch lugs (in millimeters) using a metric ruler.
  • Research the specifications of your watch model on the manufacturer's website.

Nice match with Citizen Challenge Timer

Initial impression is pretty good, quality is consistent with the price.

Better than I expected

I would say the quality is better than you would expect for a $40 strap. lining is made of the same leather as the rest of the band. Even though the strap is thick, it starts conforming to my wrist almost from day one. And it compliments my Seagull 1963 chrono perfectly.

Excellent “Pilot Tool Watch Band”

Terrific looking Rios pilot tool band… Thick, solid, good looking leather, nothing not to like, a really tough looking leather band that will support a good sized watch…! I have purchased many watch bands from Holben’s and it’s always good…! 5 STARS

Awesome strap!

Comfortable and helps balance out my mm300 which can feel top heavy on thinner straps.

Awesome Strap

This is my 6th purchase from the merchant. Always great customer service & very fast shipping.
Perfect size/length for me as I have 7.3/4” wrist. Love the color which looks great on my Zeppelin watch. Lightly padded aviation style strap brings out the vintage looks even more.
