Tough, comfortable replacement band
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.

Impressed with the quality and look!
The media could not be loaded. 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!

Very good value
So far, so good. Others’ comments about stiffness of the band are accurate, but that doesn’t bother me; I actually like a looser fit around the wrist. I found it really easy to attach the bands to the case, but can see the point of some reviewers about the thinness of the pins. Time will tell if they hold up. For now, I find it durable, quick drying, easy to clean, and like it’s simple and unobtrusive profile. Would recommend.

Great band.
The black and gray look good together, fits perfectly as advertised (20mm), and was affordable and feels premium.

A watch band you won't regret
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.

Nice looking and sturdy strap, but too stiff for me.
It looks great! And It's very sturdy... but that is ultimately why I don't like it. It's stiff as heck! I've been using it for about 6 weeks and overall it's very well made. But because it's so stiff, its hard to get on and off. And it pulls to one side because it doesn't really conform to shape of my wrist. The seller mentions you may have to let it break in first, and YES, you really do. But it's been more than a month and it's still not very soft. I don't know that it'll ever really break in / fit me. Also, there are two small loops to contain the extra length when on your wrist. On of these is made such that if you do not turn it around it scratches your wrist and is very uncomfortable. If you spin it around, it solves the problem, but then you can see the seam where it's glued together. It's not a huge deal, but it's a detail they should fix at this price point. If this were a $1 I wouldn't care about this. But at $17, this should have been made better

Right on the Money
I've had my Citizen Eco-Drive watch since 2017 and this is the third band.vI wanted something durable, functional and comfortable. I tried a leather band that looked nice but it was uncomfortable and unreliable, my watch fell off my arm many times. I found this nylon band, and spent a little extra on it. I wanted something that will look and work well. I have just installed it and I am quite impressed. I can't testify to durability but I can look at this thing and tell you it is tough. It's a little stiff as some point out, but that's good, it's been sewn well from thick material. It will loosen up. I have an extra large wrist and it fits me fine on the last hole with plenty of room to breathe. I can tell this will be a good run. I can tell by the design that it will not drag off my wrist the other two did. Best watch I've ever owned and now it has a band to match.

Good 👍
It's very good looking. I ordered 5 other watchbands from different brands and didnt like any of them, and they were all lower quality than this one. It feels very durable but it's very stiff and kind of uncomfortable that's why 4 stars, but I'm sure it'll break in over time.
