 Posted: 01/27/04 - 16:37 Post subject: Gear review: Chisco watch bands
Hey.. my first review.
Not sure how quick the rest of you go through watch bands, but mine seem to self destruct within a years time. Not to mention dirt, aroma and downright boredom from the same o'. Anyway, the last couple I've picked up have been Chisco "The Band". They're a great velcro wrap around. Easy on, easy off. Inexpensive too. I didnt' buy through the website here, but at a local retailer selling them for $4.  from jrjo.

Our BX/PX sells these and I have always wanted one. (They have never had the one I needed, though)
I think they are really cool--and they look very practical as well.
Do they chafe at all at the edges?

Nice frogs!
You can see on that one you picked, it's a 5/8". You need to measure your watch. These are replacement bands, so you can use them with whatever watch you have. I find the plastic ones are what crack or snap after time, but these are a good fix and also add some variety over plain o' black.
