I'd been looking to replace my stock Pebble Time strap since I was starting to develop an allergic reaction. I'd done some looking around at Nylon, Leather, and Metal straps and settled on this one. The reviews seemed good enough also.



I'll break this review down into 3 parts: Un-boxing, Installation, and Performance.



Un-Boxing:

The box included the strap, extra pins, quick-release pins, instructions, and an installation tool. The box was slightly damaged (from shipping I presume), but the inner contents were not affected. The box is quite nice, and has a subtle "Truffol" logo on it.



Installation:

This is the part which worried me, but ended up being easier than I thought. Note, the strap contains a half link for those who need a little extra shortening. The installation tool works by forcing out the pin from the non-marked side (which the instructions indicated). I ended up taking out 2 links plus the half link, which left me with 10 links remaining. Inserting the pins was a bit of a chore, and required the use of pliers to ensure they were firmly seated in the links. However, it wasn't a huge effort. As for the quick-release pins, it took some finagling to get them into the watch itself, but I'm not the most graceful when it comes to such things.



Performance:

The strap is *just* loose enough where it doesn't slide too much. It fits comfortably on my wrist and is very lightweight. One thing that I'm still getting used to is the rattling which occurs when a notification arrives. I'm hoping this is because of the material, but it does create the perception of it not being very sturdy. As for scratches, I've already bumped it and used it in my normal everyday routine, and it seems to be holding up well. I haven't seen any nicks or scratches yet.



All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and I would recommend it. Now to find a matching GadgetWrap to go with it!
