RothcoCommando Nylon Watch Band

I normally wear inexpensive watches which look fine but aren't expensive enough to warrant an expensive replacement band when the original, inexpensive, faux-leather band breaks. I also dislike damaging the case & crystal of a watch while I'm engaged in a DIY project around the house. I've gotten into the routine of checking Amazon whenever I identify a need, just to find what's available. This item seemed be just what I needed for my everyday watch wearing and I am very-well pleased with it. This item is attractive and appears to be well made (I just put it on my wrist, so I'll be seeing how it performs in the future). It's made in Korea. The wrist strap is 10-inch long and 1-3/4-inch wide. I'm average sized and the item fits my wrist with about 1-1/2-inch to spare. The narrow strap which holds the watch is 18-mm, i.e. this item is an 18-mm watch band (18-mm equals 13/16-inch). I don't see how it could be modified to fit a smaller watch size. This seems to be a fairly common size. About 3-inch of this narrow strap is available for the a watch. The cover strap appears to be long enough to accommodate a fairly thick watch, looks like up to 1 in thick. The cover strap has a narrow strip of hooked Velcro at its free end so that when the watch is uncovered the strap can be wrapped under the wrist and fastened to the fuzzy Velcro used to fasten the ends of the wrist strap together so this watch band can be warn with the watch exposed without the cover strap flopping around. I bought only one as I was put off by some of the negative reviews. I plan on buying a couple more now that I've seen the item. It's well worth the price. I can't think of any way to improve it other than noting it's not something I'd wear with a Rolex.

Looks great, feels good on my wrist, stitching good, and seems very durable. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see that this doesn't work well with lasers on the back of the watch face to monitor BPM or blood oxygen level. I have a Garmin Fenix, so I'll continue looking for a similar band that also has a port for the body sensors.

2 out 3 defective. The length is too short for the cover band to stay back. Its hit or miss with these things. The last few I got are wrong, and only one fit right. Pretty crummy workmanship. You gotta be super hungover or just not care to screw something like this up. Doubt these are really made by Rothco, most likely inmate made in China, sold as US/Rothco made. Gotta break out the sewing machine..AGAIN.

Durable, and serves the purpose to cover the watch and wear it comfortably. However there’s actually no way to secure the cover in an open mode. That’s dumb and yet it’s promoted as such. Also- it’s just a strip of nylon, so price could be cheaper.

Does not look like the picture of the item this is totally useless. I wanted a Velcro watchband like you Use in Cuba the simple band that goes underneath. The bed depends on the swings around and see sealed by the Velcro is totally useless.

I was given a vintage military watch when my dad passed and I wanted to protect it. This works great! Safe and secure. Strong Velcro. Just wish the flap was a little longer as they cut it the same length as the band. So now the little strip of Velcro they attached on the top of the flap is useless as it can't reach the Velcro on the band to secure it back. Other than that I love it and have ordered another for a different watch

Product is not too bad. Needs a little wider on the velcro hook and loop. And I just need to find one that is a 2-in width

Only watch band I prefer and have worn for a long time. Comfortable, affordable, durable and shields your watch face from blemishes and glare (sun and moon flashing). Works great with all g-shock ga 100 and similar models as well as most likely most other watches.
