I wear a cheap watch which you will see has lots of scratches. I wear it while working and playing. A inexpensive Casio that keeps perfect time and a battery that lasts years. But the plastic watch strap has broken twice. I would sweat under the original strap and it left an itchy waffle pattern on my skin when adjusted tight enough to not rotate. Any looser and it would slip around.The ANNEFIT Nylon watch band has worked out far better then expected. The fact it came in a 2-pack with black and olive green was a bonus, giving me two watch straps for half the price of the replacement plastic strap. The nylon strap breathes well enough that I don't sweat under it. And the small micro velco allow me to adjust it to any tightness, unlike straps that are limited to the holes in the band. Now, I can tighten it just enough, but not squeezing my skin enough to leave a mark.I expected the velco to begin pulling the nylon fibers apart but so far it looks to be holding up great. If the first strap lasts more than a year, and the second as well, it will have been a great buy for the price. The fact they seem to have a ton of colors is a bonus for anyone looking to change up their look once in a while. Removing and installing the straps are very easy unless you lack fine motor skills. There are small "levers" you pull back, insert the end of the strap then release the little lever and it snaps out into the small hole in the watch. I can imagine it may be tricky if you can't see small things well or don't have great dexterity, but that would be true for ANY watch strap. These are as easy as it gets.All in all, these appear to be a great buy. Make SURE you identify the dimensions of your watch strap (you can usually look it up using the watch model number on the back plate). My Casio is a 19mm for example, and any other size will not fit it. Take the two minutes to look it up, then order the specific size from Amazon.Watches are still very useful even if you think you have the time on your phone. Have you tried looking at your phone in the sun, wearing sunglasses? Guess what, your watch lens is not polarized so you can see it clearly. Get a watch and when you need a new strap, get one of the ANNEFIT Nylon straps.
