GadgetWraps 18mm Nylon Watch Band with Quick Release Pins – Compatible with Speidel, Daniel Wellington, Wristology – 18mm Nylon Watch Band (Electric Blue, 18mm)

After using and experiencing intense frustration with FitBit quality and customer service for years, I finally switched to a Garmin Venu 2S tracker. I love it! However, Garmin only sells silicone and leather bands for my device. I came to Amazon seeking a fabric or elastic band (the silicon bands irritate my skin and are Way too bulky for my tiny wrist) and over the course of about a month tried SIX different 18mm quick release bands.While this band could be improved, it was by far the best of the six bands I tried. I even ordered a second in another color!First, it actually fits my Garmin Venu 2S tracker. Really well. The tracker is listed as 18mm. I also measured it to confirm. A few of the other 18mm bands I tried would not stay on - I could be just walking around the house or yard and the band would disconnect, sending my pricy tracker falling to the floor/ground >:( I wear this band all day every day. I have taken it camping, rafting, done yard and gardening work, worked out with cardio and weights, slept, etc. It has never once detached or even given an inkling of failing.Second, it's easy to get on and off. I had no issues with any of the hardware or attaching to my tracker.Third, it's super comfortable. While it's a bit stiff initially, it breaks in pretty quickly. And the nylon is So much nicer to my skin than silicone.Fourth, it's easy to clean. The lighter colors (I have fog and mint) do get kind of grimy during daily use, especially when outdoors. Manufacture recommends washing with plain soap and water. I used my dish soap - soak in water/soap for a few minutes, rub/scrub vigorously, rinse thoroughly, towel/pat dry, then air dry fully before wearing again. Good as new.Suggestion for manufacturer: please make a thinner option for smaller frames. This is double width nylon, and as such, it is bulkier and stiffer than regular nylon bands. It does require break-in time, and even then, it just feels a little too big and bulky and my petite wrist. That being said, it's the Best option out of the six different bands I tried. Highly recommend to others.

16mm wide 2-Piece NATO straps are difficult to find (IYKYK). So, I bought two, for a Marathon and a MIL-SHIPS. They are very well made. Goldilocks stiffness, not seat belt soft nor cargo strap hard. Very comfortable, can wear all day with no irritation. Very good looking, very black.

Among many of the vintage watches I collect, is this 1961 Bulova which I usually keep on a dark brown leather band. The watch face is 34mm, which was pretty standard for a men’s Bulova of that time period. My wrist isn’t small but it’s not big either, so I can pull this watch off. The leather band that was on the watch looked good but sometimes a little too serious. I wanted something that showed off this watch a little better so I chose to get the dark red band as the second hand on the watch is also dark red. To my surprise, when the band came in, it was like the perfect pairing. It’s fun and bold, and for this old watch, makes people look twice. The band is a little on the stiff side but it’s not by any means terrible at all. It feels like good, well made material. After only three days of the watch band being on, it has already began to be less stiff so I assume as time goes on, I will be happy with the way the band wears. So far, the watch has gotten a few compliments already and I’ve only worn it out a couple of times. The quick releases for the spring bars are a plus of course. Very pleased.

19mm watch bands are difficult enough to find, but GadgetWraps had one that dressed up my old Timex, which I had recently resuscitated into ticking again. The GadgetWraps blue-police-box blue blended perfectly with this watch's dial color! Long enough, too, for my 7-1/2+ inch wrist. Very good deal!Another thought : This strap is pretty stiff at first - nearly too stiff; but I can get past that downside, because it looks good with this Timex and feels okay on the wrist. It should loosen up with time. :)

I've been wearing this nylon strap for a week. It will probably hold it's color well and probably won't start to fray at the buckle holes or edges anytime soon. But that's because this strap is STIFF AS A BOARD. It's as if the entire nylon fabric is permeated with some kind of industrial starch. I've worked it, bent it, worn it on thr pool, but it's nowhere near getting any more pliable. In fact, trying to work the strap has only put wavy distortions in it. Trying to buckle it and work it into the kerpers is also a chore. This thing is solid, to be sure, but is in no way comfortable or easy to buckle/unbuckle.

I have bought many watch bands over the years. Many turned out to be a disappointment. Not this one! It is very comfortable, durable, looks fantastic, and is actually long enough for my big wrist. In fact, the length could be a problem for many people as I think this 22mm version could easily be 0.5 to 1 inch shorter. But the two keeper loops hold the band perfectly in place and I'd rather have some extra length than it being too short. All in all a high quality product Made in America! 👍

This band is awesome, I love how comfortable it is. The color is really nice, and it is so easy to install bands for any outfit. It is very affordable, I have bought 2 so far and plan to buy more.

I have a Winnie the Pooh watch and this gold was a perfect match. Then it came. I ordered the 14mm because that is what it measures. But the pins are too short. They just barely make it across to the other hole, but any movement and the pins come out. I still want this band, but cannot use it. A bigger band is too big. So very sad.
