Fit
These ranger watches come with a kid size band but this band is adult size and it’s very comfortable and a perfect fit.

Good band, but doesn't hold the additional length
Great watch band for the price. I was having issues finding an appropriately sized watch band for my Timex Weekender and this fit perfectly. Plenty of holes for a wide variety of wrist sizes. Arrived well, no fraying; the product looks in good shape with no defects.My only reservation (and hence 4 stars out of 5) is that the band to hold the extra length is too close to the buckle. I would have liked a floating band to hold the excess material. Instead, it's flopping around a lot & getting caught on everything. I might actually have to cut it. This is a deal breaker for me to purchase additional bands as this one wears out.

Simple, adjustable and easy
I love the simplicity of this band. It is just one strap with a buckle on one end and holes on the other. My leather band was trashed so I cut it off the pins with an exacto and slipped this one on. Took maybe 2 minutes to put it on, cut the end to my size and burn it so it won’t frey. It’s tough, dries quickly and is more comfortable than any leather band I’ve had.

Superior Quality
At first, I wanted to buy a black strap, just like the original I have. Instead, I tried the sage green color. It turned out that it beautifully fitted my black GPQ. I love it!

OK for the price. Marathon brand.
These are okay for the price. Marathon brand, is the only thing going for them. You can get cheaper ones from China that may be better quality and cheaper.A little hard to line up the prong in the middle of the buckle to put on the strap. It just flops everywhere.I wanted this as an alternative to the NATO that came with my Marathon watch, but the NATO is so much more substantial. This one is simpler if that is what you’re going for, though.

Hard-to-find single-pass RAF-style strap.
Single-pass RAF-style straps are very hard to find, in my experience, especially one without any metal keepers. The strap was a little stiff when I first put it on, but after a few days it was very flexible and comfortable. It's a heavy-enough weave that it should wear well. It's a little on the short side, barely fitting my 6.5" wrist with only one eyelet left, but if it fits you I highly recommend it.

Simple...Comfortable...Durable
I purchased a Marathon Watch Co. Black Nylon one piece 16mm watch band at the same time I ordered my Marathon watch to be kept as a spare. I have been wearing my original watch band for about a month now and have found it to be extremely well made and comfortable to wear. The buckle is highly corrosion-resistant and has retained it's subdued black finish. I particularly like the fixed watch strap keeper-it doesn't slide around or disintegrate like those found on similar watchbands. Some time ago, I purchased two similar type watchbands sold by Timex for $5.00 each. I thought they were a bargain until I noticed that the metal buckles would start to rust then totally corrode after a short period of time. After about a month's service, the Timex watchbands started to fray making it a chore to put on my watches. The Marathon watchbands hand-wash easily, retain their shape and are extremely durable. On account of their smaller lug size and buckle and the thinness of the band itself, they make an ideal replacement for ladies sports and tactical watches as well. Don't waste your money on a substandard watchband unless you enjoy scrubbing the rust stains off your wrist every-time you take off your watch (like I had to). Lastly, for the price, I have found Marathon products to be an excellent deal. I hope you find this review informative and helpful.

Very happy.
I own dive watches that have heavy metal straps that make the watch uncomfortable to wear over an extended time. The addition of a nylon strap gives the watch more comfort and practicality over an extended period of time. The Marathon strap is "mil spec" that ensures quality construction and will last for years. Very happy.

This strap was not as advertised
This watch band was not the one that was advertised. It is very cheaply made aND not a nato strap. I am very disappointed and feel I was ripped off.
