French Troops Paratrooper Watchband,Military Elastic Nylon Watch Strap with Hook-and-Loop for Men Women Silver & Black Buckle 18/20/22mm

Great watchband, looks good and fits perfectly

Negative reviews are most likely left by people who 1) don’t understand the concept of this strap design, 2) have never used the Originals, or 3) don’t know how to use this strap. These elastic parachute-style straps were made popular by Er*ka’s Originals, which are regularly sold at $100 each. I own several and just received two from this supplier on Amazon. The metal hardwares are similar in design, thickness, fit and finish. The cords on these straps are slightly smaller than Er*ka’s but are tightly weaved and has great elasticity. As measured by my digital calipers, the strap for Er*ka’s Originals are 1.69mm thick, while these are 1.68mm thick. They’re practically the same thickness and elasticity. As for durability—under the same rough usage, I’d estimate that Er*ka’s Originals may last 5 years while these may last 4 years. Mathematically, it’s far less expensive to replace these straps every 4 years than paying multiple times more to have Er*ka’s last for another year. These straps secure on the wrist well and the hardwares do not slip (as they are originally used by paratroopers), and they look great.

Quality is good but the length is very short. I have an 8" wrist and this almost impossible to use as a double pass watch strap and fit my wrist inside. Maybe I've misunderstood how it's supposed to function, but I ended up going for a Sisu strap a few days after this. Not my favorite.

I had a small Seiko automatic and the band was not what I expected. I ordered this having seen it on someone's wrist and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. it takes bit to adjust but once you do it acts like a very comfortable stretch band. You just slip it over your writ without unbuckling it and it stays where you left it. It is very easy to use and sizy for most wrists. It can be ordered in different lug sizes so is compatible with a wide array of watches.

First off I really like the style of this strap, I chose the green and yellow which has a nice contrast to my watch. The history is cool tracing back to paratroopers. The band is very stretchy and comfortable, I do struggle to attach the clip on my wrist so prefer to attach it and then just pull it onto my wrist (seems ok so far to do this). The fit is very comfortable and the watch does not move. The stretch of the strap allows for a perfect fit without having to cut off circulation. My wrist is on the large size and there is still some ability to make it bigger - am sure it would fit even people with giant wrists. The watch feels lighter on the wrist using this band. The metal components (hook/clip etc) are quite thin and lightweight - I am not yet sure if this is a good or bad quality, perhaps will be able to tell later. Then latch hooks through and then lays against the skin (not an issue so far). It is very comfortable and can be changed out without too much difficulty. It came with 4 lugs and a removal tool which is great (I did not test the tool as already have other tools, but do appreciate the tools and is always good to have spares). It is quite minamilistic but at the same time very functional and stylish and at a very low price

Awful. Keeps bunching up under my watch so it’s super tight on my wrist but the actual watch shakes excessively and is loose flapping in the breeze.

To clarify this would be a nice, stretchy band for a standard watch. Unfortunately I have a Pebble 2 smart watch where the biometric sensor and charger connections are on the back of the watch. The strap covers all connections and the band is too thick to fit the groove where the quick release pin goes.

Very comfortable and good fit! I think it’s a good way to see if you like a NATO strap!

Sehr geiles Ding! Ich hatte lange nach einem alternativen Armband für meine Smart Watch geschaut und das ist meine TIPTOP Lösung! Warum? ich bin übergwichtig und mir passen meistens die Armbänder nicht, oder sie sind so eng das ich das Gefühl habe mein Blutfluss zu meine Hand wird abgeschnitten. Zudem habe ich die Smartwatch ja um meine Sportlichen Leistungen zu dokumentieren, sprich man schwitzt halt auch mal am Handgelenk. Genau hier lag das Problem mit den normalen oder mitgelieferten Armbändern bei Uhren, der Schweis konnte nicht weg und ich bekam regelmäßig Ausschlag bzw. gereizte und gerötete Haut dort wo das Armband war. Mit diesem tollen elastischen Stoffband, habe ich endlich etwas gefunden was sich superleicht auf der haut anfühlt und meine Hand nicht abschnürt. ich vergesse oft das ich die uhr um habe und suche die dann... und selbst bei mehreren Tagen Tagen der Smartwatch bekomme ich keine Rötungen mehr und habe meine sportliche Leistung immer im Blick. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen ist das meine Smwartwatch nun den Puls nicht mehr messen kann, was aber auch klar ist, die Smartwatch hat nun keinen direkten Kontakt mehr zur Haut, da ist das Armband zwischen. Das sollte man vor dem Kauf wissen. Da es technisch nicht die Schuld des Armbandes ist, hier auch kein Punktabzug. Alles in Allem bin ich sehr froh das Armband gefunden zu haben! und meine Handgelenke danke es mir jeden Tag :)

I am very impressed with the Dancanxy French Troops Paratrooper Watchband. The material feels durable and comfortable on the wrist. The design is stylish yet practical, and it securely fits my watch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and well-made watchband.

Elasticity of the band not up to the mark base the price. Also sthe watch hook , 1 was broken

Ho acquistato altri cinturini di altre marche e i colori non rendevano quanto questo, sono stato costretto a restituirli perché troppo “plasticosi” con questo invece ho trovato quello definitivo, tonalità di colore perfetta! Consigliato!!

Great design and fit. Orange is a bit dull but not a deal breaker at all. A true Nato strap in the sense that if your spring bar ever broke, the watch would leave neither your wrist nor the strap.
