Benchmark BasicsBenchmark Nylon Watch Band - Waterproof Ballistic Nylon One-Piece Military Watch Straps for Men & Women - Choice of Color & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm

I bought this watchband to replace a lame silicone watchband that, of course, snapped. The instructions were not great for putting this watchband on, but I was able to figure it out pretty easily. Once I figured out how to do it, putting the watchband on the watch was very straightforward. The watchband came with extra prongs in case you need them, as well as a tool to install them.The watchband took a few days to break in, and a couple of weeks to get really comfortable, but it was well worth the time! It is molded perfectly to my wrist and is supple enough to be comfortable, but still is very sturdy. I love the color and especially the metal strap holders as I can be confident they will never break.I absolutely recommend this product!

Great band

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price and looks. Fits under watch base so watch doesn’t touch skin.

I wear this nylon band on a Casio f91w. this ~25$ setup has replaced all of my other watches for most cases in the past year. The watch and band are extremely light and comfortable after fitting. Find the size you like and cut the end off the band in a semicircle. Use a lighter or other open flame to melt the ends to avoid fraying. The hole has over time loosened and expanded, but for <$10 I can't complain.

My Casio wristwatch has been my daily companion for almost 2 years now. It's a little scratched up but has yet to miss a beat. It's been way more useful and durable than its $20 price tag would suggest.One day I noticed a small tear on the factory resin strap. No big deal, I probably could've worn it for months or even years with that little tear, but I didn't want to risk catching the watch on something and having the band fail. I wear this thing from sunup to sundown usually. I do yard work, car repair, house maintenance... anything and everything with it on my wrist.Others had replaced the factory band with a NATO strap so I found one I liked and bought it. I chose grey with black hardware. Some of the other colors tempted me (especially the blaze orange) but grey provides a nice, subtle contrast with the black watch body.Installation is not exactly easy, but doable even for an ape like me with fat fingers. I used the spring pins that came with the band as they are thinner. The original ones that came with the watch were too thick to allow the band to fall into place. The NATO band comes with a small pick-type tool that makes installation a little easier, which is nice. All told it took me about 10 minutes to install, and most of that was me fumbling and cursing my gorilla fingers.So far I've been wearing it for about a month. I waited to review it because I was concerned about comfort and durability, but neither has been a problem. The band is, if anything, more comfortable than the factory resin band. It tends to trap less moisture on humid days and doesn't get to feeling quite as clammy. Durability has likewise been fine. I don't take it easy on this watch so it sustains its share of bumps and bruises, but the strap (and more importantly the spring pins) are holding on just fine. I don't expect to have much trouble.The strap cost a little over half the purchase price of the watch itself ($11ish for the strap vs. $20 for the watch). Is it worth it? In a word, yes. It looks good, is durable, feels comfortable and secure on my wrist, and is a nice change of pace from the factory band. My Casio watch (an AE1200WH) utilizes an 18mm band which fits perfectly. If I ever need to replace my Casio I'll most likely buy another, and it too will get a NATO strap like this one.

It's not going to fit if you are woman. It's just really big, but it's built well

The band looks okay and took some head scratching for me to figure out how to attach it to my watch as it came without instructions, much to chagrin of knuckleheads like me. I believe I have it installed correctly and now realize it's not effective for a smart watch that measures heart data. Part of the band runs along the back of the watch, interfering with the watch's ability to accurately read my pulse.

So far I like it! Came with pins and pin removal tool. Very light weight and seems to breath. My last strap was a bit too small where this can easily fit larger wrists. Installation was easy.
