I've been searching for a while for a good replacement of the leather strap of my Omega(Dark Side of The Moon), and bought a few from TaoBao but unfortunately the actual look and quality of those is not as good as advertised. I was almost desperate until I found this one from Nomad.
The price is fair so I didn't put too much hope on it, just not to be disappointed one another time. Surprisingly, the quality of the rubber strap is much better than expected, the material is soft but still provide enough support on the wrist. The quick release function is making the changing process very easy and doesn't require high technic to complete the task.
However, with all the highlights above, there is a lowlight as well. I opted for the butterfly buckle and this is probably the worst decision made, the buckle is too thick and the quality is not too different from the cheap ones, this greatly diminishes the overall wearing experience. The thickness of the butterfly clasp presses against the wrist, leaving obvious marks after prolonged wear, and the rough finish causes it to scratch the skin, making it uncomfortable for long-term use.
I hope Nomad can actively improve the quality of the butterfly clasp; otherwise, it will drive away consumers who choose this type of clasp, which would be a shame given the high quality of the watch strap itself.
