Title: Horrible watch band, but great watch
Product review: I had the same experience as the other reviewer whose band decomposed. It comes with what they call a "textured" strap which, while attractive, is a brittle paper thin synthetic covering over a felt interior which cracks and delaminates within the first year. The positive reviewer has a different watch - the self-wind model which comes with a genuine leather strap! Not the Infantry 24656 which is batter powered and comes with this crappy strap and is about $40 to replace annually! This high cost of maintenance causes me to downgrade my rating on an otherwise great watch. Victorinox should stand by tis defective band!
