Military Style Straps
I Love it! I saw the Archer watch band on my friend. I loved it and had to get one. There are so many cool colors. It was hard to keep it to one. I got it within a few days. It was easy to put it on my watch. Now I want more colors. Thank you Archer.

I bought this band to match my wedding attire and it worked perfectly! It added a level of detail to my outfit that I wanted and looked perfect on my Withings Activité Pop! I wear a yellow silicone band from Archer as my daily and it always looks great with any outfit.

The quality is unquestionable. What I appreciate as well is the quality of the hardware, which is smooth and streamlined, unlike other watch strap companies that haven't thought far beyond the fabric/material/colors.

This green colour is so beautiful, definitely a favourite at the moment and gets lots of wrist time on the Ember Glacial White. The strap is very comfy and soft, buckle is nice and rounded on the corners.

The Archer strap I purchased is far better than the orginal strap on my Garmin watch. Not only is the quick-release mechanism more superior but the rubber also feels better on my wrist.

This is the third time I've bought from Archer and they never, ever disappoint. Amazing quality of materials and assembly reliability plus very stylish design. I wouldn't bother much with cheaper options, here you get a premium product for a perfectly decent price.

Everything about this item was very impressive!! Nicely packaged, professional video to show you how to fit/adjust the strap and the strap itself is comfy and stylish with the deployable clasp.

Brilliant strap! I needed a strap to go surfing with, this was plenty big enough for my largish wrists, and the fact you can custom size it to your wrist works really well. Nice bright colour and feels very secure. Much easier to get on and off than any other strap I have tried.

I've bought 3 watch straps from Archer (different styles), and have no complaints; prompt delivery, well packaged, and quality products which have lasted years before needing replacing. I'll be back!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install a Military Style strap?
Military Style straps thread through the spring bars of your watch. Here's the quick version:
- Thread the main strap through the watch's spring bars, behind the watch
- Pull the end of the main strap through the stainless steel ring at the end of the shorter "Y-strap"

The Military Style strap seems really long. Is that normal?
Yes! The extra length is how Military Style straps are designed to fit. The excess is meant to be tucked or folded under the strap — it's part of the classic military strap look.

What's the Y-strap failsafe feature?
Our classic military straps have a Y-strap design that provides extra security. It secures the watch from behind, preventing it from sliding off the strap while putting it on your wrist. It's a feature borrowed from the original military design.

How do I know what size watch strap I need?
You'll need to measure the lug width of your watch — that's the space between the two small posts (lugs) where the strap attaches to the watch case. Lay your watch flat, remove the old strap if possible, and use a ruler or caliper to measure that gap in millimeters. Common sizes are 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm. We also offer 16mm, 19mm, 21mm, 23mm, and 24mm widths in some straps. If you're not sure, just send us a message with your watch's make and model and we'll help you figure it out.

Why doesn't this strap come with spring bars?
Unlike quick release straps, military style straps use your watch's existing spring bars to attach to the watch by threading through them. If your watch does not have spring bars, we sell quick release spring bars separately that you can use. These have the added advantage of being able to quickly switch between quick release and military style straps.
Why don't you recommend military style straps for use with smart watches?
Most smart watches have biometric sensors on the back that would be blocked by the military style strap going behind the watch. We created our Quick Release Nylon and Quick Release Seat Belt Nylon straps to give the people the traditional military style strap look with full functionality for use with a smart watch.
