Archer Watch StrapsPremium Nylon Quick Release Watch Bands

The 18mm band works great with my Casio W800HG series watches. I have at least four Casio's whose original rubber bands had fallen apart over the years. Replacing the bands with new rubber/plastic ones from Casio costs about as much as an entire new watch, but I finally decided to try this band and give my old watches some new life.I got the black band to match my various watch colors and styles. It looks great. The band installed quickly and easily. I did use a small flat screwdriver to help push the prongs to seat completely. The band is tough nylon and is initially somewhat stiff (as new nylon should be), but I disagree with reviewers who say this feature of nylon is a problem. I took it instead as an indication that the nylon is of good quality. The band quickly adapted to my wrist, there were no rough edges, and I never had any discomfort.

The media could not be loaded. Great watch band for the price. Works perfectly on my Seiko, and it installed easily in seconds. Also really liking the clean black color and the feel of the strap. Like some said, it’s a little stiff, but that’s to be expected with the brand new material.I look forward to seeing how this breaks in and softens up over time, as well as see how it holds up with constant wear. Overall I’m very impressed, and will probably order the OD green one next!

So far, so good. Others’ comments about stiffness of the band are accurate, but that doesn’t bother me; I actually like a looser fit around the wrist. I found it really easy to attach the bands to the case, but can see the point of some reviewers about the thinness of the pins. Time will tell if they hold up. For now, I find it durable, quick drying, easy to clean, and like it’s simple and unobtrusive profile. Would recommend.

I bought this to replace the watch band that came with my Citizen one which I didn't like as it was uncomfortable and really stiff! I went by the reviews. The band is easy to install and is a little stiff when first wearing. With a short time of wearing the watch band it became a lot more comfortable! It is well made and comes in a variety of colors.

This watch strap (in Olive Drab) has far-exceeded my expectations.I bought it nearly 4 years ago and have worn it almost daily since then. Yard work, automotive repair, nights out, boat days…all of it. And it still looks great and has held up well.I just wash it with a drop of liquid hand soap and an old toothbrush if it starts looking dingy. Cleans up beautifully, & hold up incredibly well.I’ll still be wearing this for years to come. Fantastic value and it looks high-quality.

It looks great! And It's very sturdy... but that is ultimately why I don't like it. It's stiff as heck! I've been using it for about 6 weeks and overall it's very well made. But because it's so stiff, its hard to get on and off. And it pulls to one side because it doesn't really conform to shape of my wrist. The seller mentions you may have to let it break in first, and YES, you really do. But it's been more than a month and it's still not very soft. I don't know that it'll ever really break in / fit me. Also, there are two small loops to contain the extra length when on your wrist. On of these is made such that if you do not turn it around it scratches your wrist and is very uncomfortable. If you spin it around, it solves the problem, but then you can see the seam where it's glued together. It's not a huge deal, but it's a detail they should fix at this price point. If this were a $1 I wouldn't care about this. But at $17, this should have been made better

After 2 years of using this watch band daily, I've just ordered a second one to go with my new (Samsung Galaxy) watch (this time in a different color). The stock bands look good, but are nowhere near as comfortable. This band is very comfortable for all activities and occasions, and a fraction of the price of the official Samsung bands.As noted in the product description, these watch bands do take some "breaking in." It will be stiff and not the most comfortable when you first get it. Have patience though, and it will quickly become your favorite and longest-lasting band.After 2 years, my original band is showing signs of wear and tear - namely some fraying at the edges and slight discoloration where the bands clasp. These are minor cosmetic signs of it's age though, and unlike traditional plastic/rubber/silicone bands though, I have no worry that it will unexpectedly break off. At worst, as this band ages, I may save it for sweatier/dirtier days and switch to a newer band when I care about the cosmetics.Did I mention that I really love the modern quick-release band designs (compared to needing special tools or visits to a watch/jewelry store of days past)? The latest official Samsung bands use a button for even easier removal (part of me wonders if those are too easy to remove), but the levers on this older style work perfectly fine.I'll also note that these bands can get funky over time (especially when playing sports), but can be easily cleaned with soap and water, though it does take more effort to clean than a plastic/silicone band. Theoretically they could go in the washing machine on a cold cycle (no dryer), but I just soak it in the sink with some mild dish soap and, if necessary, lightly scrub it with a brush.

The band is certainly incredibly stiff and uncomfortable when you first get it. It does break in though, and not that long into wearing it. While it does eventually fit comfortably on your wrist, it is certainly not as comfortable as some other materials. However, it is very durable. So it’s a trade off.
