My favorite "casual" watch and my second Red Monkey Designs watch!

I can't remember how I first heard about them, but I'm in love with pretty much everything they do. They do leather and they do it darned well. From guitar straps to belts to camera straps to watches and cuffs, Red Monkey's items are all handmade in the USA, Los Angeles to be precise.

Their items are in much demand. Famous clients include actors such as Brad Pitt, Matthew Fox, Jack Black, Johnny Knoxville, Jennifer Aniston, Evangeline Lilly, Reese Witherspoon, Mandy Moore, and musicians such as Beck, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Sheryl Crow, Metallica, U2, the Dixie Chicks.

Great style, fantastic workmanship. There are several watch faces to choose from and there is a vast array of colors and styles for the band. They'll take custom orders as well and can fit your watch face to one of their bands.

The Armada band measures 2" wide and is made of perforated and studded leather. It has a thick, adjustable nickel buckle closure. This watch face is the GT and features a red/black/white dial with day/date feature, and quartz movement. It is water resistant.

I had to have the band custom made because my wrist is smaller that what the standard band fits (for this band it's 6.5" - 7.5"). The ladies watch bands are smaller sized, but I really wanted this combination. I paid retail price instead of a sale price, but it was worth it to have a band that fits my wrist perfectly and is exactly what I wanted.

Buying online is always tres fantastic, but if you get a chance, pay a visit to their shop in Los Angeles.
