Clockwork Synergy - 2 Piece Heavy NATO PVD Black Nylon Band

was ALMOST only 4 starts because I had to sand down some rough edges that are from using heat to cut the material during the making of the band. But, I do like it a lot and after getting rid of the rough edges it's great! To start it's fairly stiff and after wearing it for a few days it starts to hold its shape and feel more comfortable. I would rather have it that way then be all flimsy and thinner. It does fit my Garmin Fenix 3 HR perfectly and a LOT cheaper then other solutions I could find. If that is the watch your looking for to replace the band on, you will need two T6 Star/Torx drivers to change the band and the thick screw pins fit through this just fine. I"m not sure what the "PVD" stands for in the description, I know it's metal for the hardware and the nylon type strap is thick and sturdy. Looking at it, it only appears to be 1.5mm thick or so, but solid material.... So, so far so good and I will update this review if anything changes. If it does not, then just know that i'm still wearing it and loving it and I do recommend it. For the price I would buy it again and I already have the fine grit sand paper of nail file on hand to tidy it up a bit. UPDATE 08/20/2018 Still wearing this thing and still as good or better then the day I bought it! It has not faded even after being in hot desert sun all day everyday and the black on the metal band retainers has barely scratched off at all! I would buy another one of these in a second if I had to, but the way this is going, it will out last the watch! Buy it, you won't regret it!

I have this strap black and desert khaki. Use them in my Garmin Fenix 3hr. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable for outdoor activities. I have a few different straps but these are my go to one's for just about any situation.

Fits on my Garmin Fenix 3 HR well.Regarding Fit:It's much more comfortable than the stock strap & low profile. Since I've got some decent dial calipers right here, the strap measures 26mm wide (as ordered) and is 1.4mm thick. I've only been wearing this a few days now, but it's conforming to my wrist well, but still feels a bit stiff.I have large wrists at ~8.6" and this just fits me. For a tighter fit, the next to last hole, otherwise the last hole on my left wrist. Fits tight on the last hole on my right, but with a large watch like the Fenix, I don't wear on my dominant hand (right) much. I know I may be wierd, but I switch wrists sometimes. I wish the buckle portion were longer, as they way it fits the buckle is pretty far to the outer edge.Also, you'll need 2 small torx (T6?) screwdrivers to switch the straps on Garmin sports watches (at least the fenix 3 & vivoactive).Props to Clockwork for answering my query regarding strap length promptly & for sending a discount coupon code in the nice box the strap arrived in.Regarding Finish:The good- overall pretty good, the nylon is stiff starting out. I like the black PVD coating on the hardware, has taken a few hits w/o scratch.A couple of nit picks-As noted by others, the nylon may require a bit of sanding or careful touchup w/ a hot knife/soldering iron for sharp melted edges. I had to do this on 1 spot underneath where it was sown. I didn't have any issue with the melted holes being sharp. A couple of the stitches on the pin end were slightly off, so it took a bit of work to get the large diameter Garmin pin through. One of the hot knife cuts isn't exactly perpendicular on the buckle half, but since you don't see it when wearing it, no biggie.Overall an awesome value & if it were a bit bigger (or at least the buckle side longer) I'd buy another 1 or 2 to mix up the colors. My next step will be to make a paracord strap for it, like I did for my Solar Casio after the strap broke.

Several months ago I bought this band in olive green for my Apple Watch at a local store since it was on sale. I'm sort of a watchband fashionista and I have also gotten other bands in the meantime. I always keep coming back to the fabric band due to its comfort and good looks. I saw the khaki color here so decided to get it. I think Clockwork Synergy has Apple bands too but since I already had a spare watchband adapter, the plain 20mm would be fine.When it arrived today I was a little surprised at the color. It was more of a light olive green rather than khaki. I'm not disappointed at all since it is a very nice shade I was just thinking it would be more of a tan/light brown color.As my original was, the fabric was just a little stiff out of the box being that the band is new. I twisted it here and there and it began to soften up. Length is good too. I have a small wrist, about 6 inches circumference and buckle it on the 3rd to the last hole for the Apple Watch. Looks like if you have a really big wrist, like 8 inches circumference it would still be good.Nice band, I may even get another color.

it's a strap. for a watch. i like to change the strap on my watch periodically. it's one of those sports fitness tracking watches (though the sedentary and sleep sides get more workout) and i needed a couple of straps for it. i've got some of those silicone straps, but wanted one of these to give a different look. the nylon dries quick, and the multiple loops keeps the end of the strap in place. it does feel a bit bulky, but that may because of stiffness because i haven't worn it in yet.

I had heard some good things about CS, so I went ahead and bought the navy nylon band.The color is great and the buckles are the right color and feel solid. But the quality of the band just fails miserably.I'm not sure if I got the wrong one, but this is not "Heavy" at all. This is a thin and flimsy nylon. And not only that, but in at least three places, the nylon is sharp and pokes into my wrist. It's incredibly uncomfortable. I can't wear it.Also, the end of it looks and feels awful. It's very rough and not cauterized well.I don't recommend this at all as it is.
