SUITABLE FOR LARGE WRISTS on women

Quality watch strap. I have other NATO style straps but I prefer Zulu straps. I have an 8.5 inch wrist so most watch straps are a bit short for me. The extra strap length is perfect for my wrist. I just wish the Marathon had more color options and strap widths. If they ever do, I'll be first in line at the register. Recommend.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Good strap but doesn't hold excess length

Great watch strap for the price. I had trouble finding the right size bracelet for my Timex weekender and it fit perfectly. Plenty of holes to accommodate a variety of wrist sizes. Arrived safely, no wear; Item appears to be in good condition with no defects. My only criticism (and hence 4 stars out of 5) is that to accommodate the extra length, the strap is too close to the buckle. I want the floating tape to hold the excess material. Instead, he hangs around a lot and is addicted toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I have no major complaints about it, everything is fine

Length measurement out of specification

Hopefully Marathon follows up on these reviews. I have just received two of these straps - one should be 22mm x 11" and the other 20mm x 11". I was expecting the length to be the same for both (11 inches) with the only difference being the width. As you can see in the photo, 20mm is 9-3/4 inch without buckle and 22mm is 10-3/4 inch without buckle. So none of them meet the 11-inch specification. what i thought i ordered. As it turns out, 9-3/4in. The strap length of 20mm is PERFECT for me, so no

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Volume

Great group - sage green is more like brown

Love this group! I bought these at the same time as the Timex Weekender because I have large wrists and I knew the OEM strap that came with the watch would not fit. In fact, I like this group more for the subtle dark metal detailing than the bright silver like the Timex group. It seems a little thinner than the original Timex strap but I think it will work fine for my purposes. I will definitely be buying more colors to use interchangeably on my watch in the future. However, remember that sageโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Clarity

Finally found a good strap for my large wrist

I have fairly large wrists and standard size watch straps only go through the first or second hole. I've tried other "big" tapes, but some of them were bulky or of poor quality. This 20mm army grade nylon is perfect for me. There is nothing negative I can say about it. I know I will buy this strap if I need a watch strap in the future. And compared to some other bands I've tried, it's a very reasonable price.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Concise instructions

The only single pass watch strap I could find

I wanted a simple one piece watch strap and here it is. Why is this style so hard to find? Unlike NATO straps, this style only goes between the watch and wrist once, so it doesn't add extra thickness and doesn't have the array of foreign metal clasps and extra folds that NATO straps have. I have a nylon strap from my father's old military watch that is at least 50 years old and is exactly the same. Simple, straightforward and well built. I think NATO straps are overkill, but that's about allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative gift

but it works just fine. My only complaint was where the holes are.

Definitely a quality NATO strap. At first I was wondering how it would work without that other flap and buckle at the bottom, but it works fine. My only complaint was where the holes were drilled to keep the holes as solid as the marathon made them, they kind of sealed the bottom to keep it from wearing out - which is good. The bad news is that the sealant used scratched my wrist and caused some irritation. There is no problem that fine sandpaper cannot solve. A little rubbing, washing off theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not sure
