Onthelevel French Troops Parachute Bag for Nylon Elastic Belt Watchband 18mm 20mm 22mm Watch Strap

Excellent construction, comfortable, great pairing for a gold watch for a fresh look

Perfect replacement strap for the 18mm Citizen beater field watch I got for Christmas. Super comfortable and fits better than traditional nato straps. The price is fantastic and it came with a watch pin removal tool and 4 pins. I wasn't expecting that and I am pleasantly surprised. You really can't go wrong with this watch band.

Overall the quality seems fine. The elastic is good, and it is extremely comfortable and light. My only niggle is that being one size fits all, they are a little on the long side, so if you have medium to small wrists, the tension adjustment may leave the hardware on the extreme sides of your wrist. Not necessarily a flaw, but does affect the comfort a little.

I have a larger than average wrist and this strap was STILL way too long. The only way I could use it was to cut off 3 inches of strap and use a sewing machine to re-sew the end clasp. Now it fits perfectly. I only gave it three stars because of the fact that I needed a sewing machine to make this thing usable. The clasp is difficult to slide into the buckle with one hand. It takes practice and is still frustrating to use. Good design in concept, but not in everyday use, IMO. This is an elastic strap, so there is always compression on your wrist, something I'm still getting used to.If you can get this at a low price it might be worth checking out but I have an extensive watch collection (normal person stuff, non "luxury") and this is my least favorite strap in terms of function and fit. However, it looks great with my 'Batman' Casio Duro and my all-blue Casio Duro, so it's worth keeping.

When Erika’s was sold out I started looking elsewhere and found this. I really wanted a green strap with the red stripe. This fits the bill and is way cheaper. The Shade of green is exactly what I was expecting based on the image. It looks pretty great on my Aquatico Bronze Sea Star.I’m almost gave it 4 instead of 5 because I had trouble keeping the slider in the same place as I was putting the watch on. As my first parachute strap I don’t know if this is normal. The other thing was how long the strap is. As others have noted, it is long. I have 6.75” wrist and the buckle/slider ended up in the same place as a NATO strap. Check out the pictures. It doesn’t bug me but I could see it being an issue for other people.

My first order for the 20mm strap (silver hardware) worked out great. Great fit - 5 stars. Unfortunately I tried ordering a 2nd strap for a different watch (22mm green/yellow with black hardware) and the buckle was assembled backwards with no way to modify it. The hook should be inserted into the wider “mouth” side like all other MN straps. I quickly asked for an exchange and the 2nd strap arrived with the same flaw. It still works OK but the fit isn’t ideal.

I have two, and they are both AMAZING!One on my Shinola, totally changed the way the watch looks and feels. I have another on a Seiko Mod that is amazing. I find myself putting these watches on over others since these bands are super comfortable.

Great band, goes on my stuhrling original watch very well, watch came factory with green leather strap that wore out quick as it was stiff (but I've noticed I'm too hard on leather straps and no longer keep them on any watch that factory has them as only option) this one goes well with the yellow indices on the dial and yellow accents on the minute and hour hand while keeping homage to the factory green with black buckle and other black accents. I bought some of these for a replacement to some nato straps for other watches I'd replaced bands on, but wanted a more unique look/strap. The lock/tightening system is awesome
