Archer Watch Straps - Premium Nylon Quick Release Watch Bands

See photos. I’ve put one of these on my Tudor Black Bay and it honestly feels like a higher quality strap than the nato Tudor supplied with it! Admittedly the aforementioned had been used for over 4 years every day.Fitting is very simple - just slide the spring bars in using the button mechanism on the reverse. So simple. I needed a spring bar removal tool for the old strap but this doesn’t need any tools, meaning you can change it easily.The material did initially feel a bit stiff/hard but it’s surprisingly comfy. I also believe it will “wear in”. The hardware is a nice amount of shiny - not OTT and compliments the watch case well.I’ve only had this 1 day but if it holds up I’ll definitely buy more in other colours. Especially given how easy they are to change. Very impressed on initial use.

I chose the Archer strap over the cheaper straps for the reported quality. I struggle with silicon straps as they irritate my wrist and have been disappointed with some of the leather offerings, so wanted to try something different. I'm glad I decided to spend a little more on the Archer strap as the quality of the material and construction is excellent. As reported by others, the double layered strap is quite stiff when new, but this hasn't been a problem for me and it was very comfortable the first time I wore it; the stiffness is now starting to ease after a few days. The colour is great and the strap feels very durable and should last some time. I'm very pleased with the strap and feel it is good value.

Got this to replace a battered Timex strap. It looks very similar, and is easy to fit. The only downside is that it is a little shiny. Assuming this might fade gradually, but no sign of it doing so after two weeks of use.

Had this a couple of days now and really like it.OverviewGood quality nylon with a well defined pattern (I got the grey/black stripe). Two layers of nylon which are a little bit stiff but that is to be expected when you see the thickness. However this is still a really comfortable strap. Fits my Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle HR watch perfectly.Straps not overly long so won't look silly on little wrists. My wrist is c.8" and is on the 5th from largest hole.As you can see from the pictures it looks pretty good.FittingSo my best tip is to lay your watch down an lay the new straps next to it. This is to avoid putting the straps on the wrong way round which of course I would never do!Second best tip is to spend a few minutes bending the straps just to take some of the initial stiffness out of them.Take ONE strap off and swap for the new one. Do this one at a time as it makes the watch easier to hold and less likely to drop.This can be a bit fiddly depending on your lug design as the pins move around a bit in the nylon but just persevere as it won't take long

I was looking to replace an old rubber strap that I no longer liked, and thought I'd go for something different. This strap goes really well with this watch, I think. The strap was pretty easy to fit, due to the little sliders on the reverse side. It's quite stiff fabric, so I'm hoping it's going to be robust. I've got really chunky wrists, and it fits me fine, with 2 holes to spare.

Well made and comfortable to wear . Easy to fit..Yet another great strap from Archer of which I have a number of different colours and materials for my watches.

The strap is well made using quality materials, however the fitting of the strap was not easy due to the thickness of the fabric and therefore I could not use the quick release pins. The strap now fitted is comfortable.

Over the years I've had several straps for my stratos, some silicon and some leather and I never paid more than £10 for those. But I fancied a change and based on the numerous positive review of Archer, decided to pay more for quality.And I won't denied it, the quality is good. Better than the sub £10? Well maybe a little bit better, but not by much. So for me it is overprice at £16.99, knowing what I know now, I would have paid up to £13 for it. Another down point which has been already hilghted in other reviews, is its rigidity, in the sense that it is too rigid. If you wear your watch all the time then I guess you can live with it. But if like me you take it both during the night or before a shower, it is a bit of the pain to take off.On the plus side, I do find the nylon more confortable to wear than leather of silicone.
