RothcoCommando Nylon Watch Band

I normally wear inexpensive watches which look fine but aren't expensive enough to warrant an expensive replacement band when the original, inexpensive, faux-leather band breaks. I also dislike damaging the case & crystal of a watch while I'm engaged in a DIY project around the house. I've gotten into the routine of checking Amazon whenever I identify a need, just to find what's available. This item seemed be just what I needed for my everyday watch wearing and I am very-well pleased with it. This item is attractive and appears to be well made (I just put it on my wrist, so I'll be seeing how it performs in the future). It's made in Korea. The wrist strap is 10-inch long and 1-3/4-inch wide. I'm average sized and the item fits my wrist with about 1-1/2-inch to spare. The narrow strap which holds the watch is 18-mm, i.e. this item is an 18-mm watch band (18-mm equals 13/16-inch). I don't see how it could be modified to fit a smaller watch size. This seems to be a fairly common size. About 3-inch of this narrow strap is available for the a watch. The cover strap appears to be long enough to accommodate a fairly thick watch, looks like up to 1 in thick. The cover strap has a narrow strip of hooked Velcro at its free end so that when the watch is uncovered the strap can be wrapped under the wrist and fastened to the fuzzy Velcro used to fasten the ends of the wrist strap together so this watch band can be warn with the watch exposed without the cover strap flopping around. I bought only one as I was put off by some of the negative reviews. I plan on buying a couple more now that I've seen the item. It's well worth the price. I can't think of any way to improve it other than noting it's not something I'd wear with a Rolex.

Looks great, feels good on my wrist, stitching good, and seems very durable. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see that this doesn't work well with lasers on the back of the watch face to monitor BPM or blood oxygen level. I have a Garmin Fenix, so I'll continue looking for a similar band that also has a port for the body sensors.

2 out 3 defective. The length is too short for the cover band to stay back. Its hit or miss with these things. The last few I got are wrong, and only one fit right. Pretty crummy workmanship. You gotta be super hungover or just not care to screw something like this up. Doubt these are really made by Rothco, most likely inmate made in China, sold as US/Rothco made. Gotta break out the sewing machine..AGAIN.

Durable, and serves the purpose to cover the watch and wear it comfortably. However there’s actually no way to secure the cover in an open mode. That’s dumb and yet it’s promoted as such. Also- it’s just a strip of nylon, so price could be cheaper.

fits perfect and looks good.

Does not look like the picture of the item this is totally useless. I wanted a Velcro watchband like you Use in Cuba the simple band that goes underneath. The bed depends on the swings around and see sealed by the Velcro is totally useless.

This is a great band for protecting the face of an Apple Watch while working outside. Fits well and covers the face of a 42mm Apple Watch. It doesn’t cover the sides of the watch but does cover the entire face. This is 100% nylon and velcro and should hold up.Update-the band does not allow contact with your wrist. Apple Watch will not track while it is on and you will have to put in your passcode each time you access it. I have modified mine to allow for wrist contact. Still A good buy!

Ordered one for my husband. He loved it so much he ordered another. Comfortable, durable, good looking, and protects the face of his watch when he’s outside working. We throw the band in the washer and air dry. Great watch and and great price!
