I recently purchased an Armitron watch that was nice, but just a tad too snug on my wrist. Since the metal bracelet wasn't adjustable and links were readily available, I opted to replace the original metal bracelet with an aftermarket watch strap. I selected the BISONSTRAP Sport Nylon Watch Band, Military Watch Strap for Men from Amazon. The new strap arrived very quickly and came with the strap, a spring bar tool, and two extra spring bars.

It was very easy to install the new watch strap using the enclosed spring bar tool. It probably tool a total of 5 minutes. I think the result was an instant improvement in looks and comfort.

The BisonStrap comes in 10 buckle and color combinations. It comes in 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm widths. I chose the blue watch strap with silver buckle. The strap has blue threads on black nylon and matches well to the dial.

The buckle of this Bison Strap also matches the flat stainless of the watch case. I'm not sure I could have found a better watch strap to match this watch. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up over the summer, but for less than $15, this watch strap looks like a winner.
