Hiking Trail Nylon Band | The Original Rugged Compatible with Apple Watch Band for Men & Women - Soft, Breathable, Woven Water-Resistant Nylon Mens iWatch Strap | Fits Ultra 2 & Ultra 49mm 45mm 44mm 42mm Series 9 & All Models (Thin Red LIne)

Not compatible with Series 4 even though the description says so. Doesn’t “click” into the watch so the bands can slide off while wearing it. Neither side clicks in no matter how you flip the band.

LOVE the XXL Nylon NATO!This is just what I've been looking for! I've been trying to find a replacement Apple Watch band for my husband, for a couple of months. He must have a huge wrist because I've tried multiple aftermarket bands and this is the first that fits him! He didn't want the XL band from Apple, because it costs $50 and you have to buy it separately from the watch. Annoying!He absolutely loves the Carterjett band. I think he has a 9+ inch wrist and there's room to spare! We got a nice email with instructions on how to tuck the excess band, which were very helpful. Right now he's into the "Charlie" tuck but he may custom size it by cutting and searing the edge. I think he just wants to try that method out cuz he he's a man who likes to play with fire.The band itself is really comfortable and it looks great. The adapters fit well. It has a buckle closure which he likes better than the pin one on the Apple band. The overall quality is great.What a cool idea. So nice that you are making bands for the big boys! My husband said it's the best gift I've given him in a long time. I'd buy more if there were color options.Here’s a picture is of the Carterjett XXL Nato next to the M/L Apple Sport band to show the comparison. Looks like it would fit anyone because it has lots of holes.I highly recommend this, especially if you have a really big wrist.

What I liked:-The item is very light weight.-Seems to be made well. With metal hardware and sturdy nylon.-Should fit even the largest wrists very well. I have an Apple Watch Nike Sport band that I use the next to the last hole on and this band has so much left over that it actually hangs out above the top of the watch.What I didn't like:-After submerging for about a minute under the water in the sink. It had taken most of the rest of the day to completely dry. The way I see it. It doesn't pass the "waterproof" test.-Inside of the band is just a bit scratchy. Not enough to annoy me. But I thought I should mention it for those with very sensitive skin.Overall:If you can live with the shortcomings listed above. I think this band is a good alternative to the $50 Apple OEM watch bands. However It didn't really meet my needs.

This is hands down my favorite watchband, but only lasted 6 months.I wore it daily for sports, swimming, showers and only took off to charge. Attachment was flush and strong, no discomfort, no flaking on the metal or fraying of the nylon and dried relatively fast.*This broke while i was wearing it, while in a basic pushup position and the piece snapped under the stress. i will say i was happy that it broke before/without damage my watch, so that is a positive from it. I bought 2, so i will now be using the other, hopefully it will last a bit longer.

The band is well-made and comfortable- I barely notice it’s there anymore, and I’ve been wearing it for about a week now. The fabric is very breathable, and works fine for the gym. I haven’t had the chance to test it out in the pool yet. The first day I wore it, the rough parts of the band where the fabric was cut and melted to secure the fibers was extremely uncomfortable, and kept scratching me. When I got home, I took a nail file to the rough bits to soften them, and that took care of the issue, so make sure you file down those parts before wearing it. It definitely needs to be broken in, so give it a few days. I don’t even use the other bands I have anymore, this one is perfect (minus the size issue). I’m definitely ordering a second band in the correct size, but I’ll continue using this one.For actually wearing the band, they have an image showing you how above, or you can just google how to wear a NATO watch band. It’s very easy.Photo 1: The connection to the watch is very secure, but the size definitely matters. Pictured is a 32mm band connected to a 42mm watch. The band’s fixings are slightly too small, but again, it is a secure connection and not loose at all. Make sure you’re picking the correct size.Photo 2: Front side of the band. Neat stitching, fabric is breathable, uniformly colored. The buckles are an anodized metal.Photo 3: Back side of the band. There are three fabric folds that have been stitched and melted.Photos 4 & 5: The top and bottom band folds. The ends have been filed down slightly to soften them. When you first recive it, the ends are hard and irritating to the skin. Definitely make sure you have a nail file on hand to soften them- it took about ten minutes to do.Photo 6: The buckle. The metal parts are anodized and scratch easily, but the color beneath isn't that much different anyway.Photo 7: The entire watch and attached band. Pictures is the 42mm watch connected to a 32mm band, with a length of 5-7 inches.

Out of the box I questioned the quality of the materials, but once I put it on I liked the way the thing looked with the black Apple Watch and it has proven to be quite robust so far. The long band goes around my thick wrist more than adequately but I can’t say that I am totally impressed with the required fold-over method for securing the extra length of strap, and I didn’t really want to take the chance of botching a trim and flame resealing of the nylon fibre ends. I’ve worn this thing daily for many months now (in sun and in chlorinated and salt water as well) and while it does show some very minor fraying at the strap end and sides, it shows no obvious signs of faded colouring. I expect to get at least another year out of it before it starts to show its age. Worth the money.

The build quality is fantastic, it’s incredible comfortable, and the band showed up over 3 weeks ahead of schedule.

I tried a couple of NATO style watch bands for my Series 4 Apple Watch and like the look, and feel of this Carterjett band the best. I would have given the watch band 5 stars, but I am a bit concerned about the durability of the band since the nylon around the hole I use the most looks like it is starting to unravel - hopefully it won't get worse with time.

Works, Great for large wrists but band became rough after a weeks wear and now sits in a drawer.

The stitching is too tight to the watch attachment. This does not allow the band to find the proper contour of your wrist. Quality of band material is goodUpdate. They sent a new replacement band. Great customer service
