Looks durable enough for daily wear, at least for a while.
Edit: I knew not to order black, but after reading the recent reviews of the Dickies, I'm just not going to impulse buy a belt today.

They are not same, but I noticed many companies/stores use the term, "genuine" as "real" to say "real leather" without realizing "genuine leather" is the low quality leather.
I googled.
"Full-grain leather is the highest quality, using the entire top layer of hide for superior strength, breathability, and natural aging (patina), while genuine leather is made from lower, weaker layers, often processed (sanded/stamped) and coated, making it less durable but more affordable. Full-grain is an investment in longevity, whereas genuine leather is a lower-grade, more common, and less resilient product, despite its name implying quality. "
Here's from Google.

Stores/companies/people are confused and they have been using the terms incorrectly, but full grain leather is not same as genuine leather.
Here are some articles you can read about leather qualities:

"Is genuine leather real leather?
While leather products labeled as 'genuine leather' are technically made using real leather, they are very low quality. Genuine leather pieces are made by stitching leftover scraps of leather together with plastic. The finished product is not durable and is not likely to last for even a fraction of the time that a high quality full grain leather piece would."

"Full grain leather vs. top grain leather: What's the difference?
Whether shopping for leather goods at Buffalo Jackson or around the internet, you've probably noticed that products are made with different types of leather. Sadly, many consumers aren't familiar with the terms "full grain" or "top grain," and instead they look for the words "genuine leather." But, if a leather bag or jacket is listed as genuine leather, it's not actually a good sign. At least, not where the leather's quality is concerned. "Genuine leather" has essentially become a catch-all phrase for anything that is technically leather. However, if you're looking for true leather quality, you'll want to look in the direction of full-grain or top grain leather products."
I can go on and on but you get the idea (hopefully). If you buy a full grain leather goods from real leather store, they should not list them as "genuine leather" because they are not same.
