Archer Watch Straps - Premium Nylon Quick Release Watch Bands

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!

Nice quality watchband! Size and color are accurate, and the good thickness suggests this will last a long time. A little stiff initially, but softens in time. Also easy to change, which is important to me as I change watchbands a lot (to match what I'm wearing or doing).

Feels like a good quality band. Thick and durable. It is very stiff so I am hoping it will break in over time. Wearing it for the first time today. Just wish it was a little longer.

Archer offered me a full refund because I wasn’t completely satisfied with my purchase. Not many companies will do that for you. This style of strap won’t work for everyone and every watch, but it is still high quality regardless. I would recommend it for a heavier watch with long lugs. Its double-layered construction will work well to fill the gaps on watches with longer lugs. Also, it’s a lot sturdier than your typical NATO strap so it will support a heavier watch 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.

Great looking band but it’s super stiff on my wrist. Hoping I can break it in for a more comfortable feel.

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.

I have a Seiko SKX009K1 diver watch (Pepsi style). I've owned it for 4 years and never have found a band that was comfortable. I'm guessing I've purchased 3 or 4 rubber watch straps and 3 nylon Nato Zulu style 3 ring straps. The rubber straps allowed the back of the watch not to sit flat against the back of my wrist. It either fit too loose or too tight, The Nato type (the band pulls through the back of the pins) were either too long or too short. The Archer straps are a perfect fit for my wrist. Very comfortable. Band is well made, heavy duty, comes in different colors, inexpensive and easy to install., nice looking. You can buy a couple and switch them out to go with what you are wearing (if that is important. I imagine these will outlast the rubber bands, as they sometimes disginegrate and fall apart after a few years (I have an older Seiko diver and that happened to two of the rubber straps). One problem is if you have a large wrist these might be too short. Mine is 8" and these have 3 holes left after I am strapped in. If your wrist is more than 8 inches, most likely these will be too short (be aware). I ordered an olive green, the one I received is a lighter color than the one shown on the order form, but it looks nice, adds a little bit of color to the watch. I just ordered a black one. One tip, to break this band in, wear it in the shower once, and wear the watch until the band drys out. It will form to custom fit your wrist.
