Must've missed the silicone part. Only had for a few weeks, so can't speak to longevity, should be good though-love fossil watch things.

The band itself is great, very comfortable and wears in just like leather should. The small loops to hold the strap are difficult to adjust. One broke a month in and the other fell off completely.
Really like the silicone on the inside of the band and the leather on the outside. It's classy, yet is more resistant to the sweat on my skin. A bit lighter of a brown than the picture shows, but still a nice color.
I bought this brown leather and silicon watch strap because my old genuine leather strap wore down and frayed. This new strap is very stiff and takes some breaking in to get used to it. So far it's been a few weeks and I can already feel it breaking in which is such a nice feeling. Just like any band you get, it will take some time to break in, so don't freak out if it's stiff to start. Trust me, it will break in.
My son purchased this watch for me as a Christmas gift almost two years ago. The band worn out and I was afraid I would not be able to find another one durable and stylish. I was excited not only to find a new band but able to change it myself in a matter of minutes.
