Standard length is pretty short, get the long
Standard Length: The way the velcro is sewn on this band it doesn't leave you much room to play with if you have adult sized wrists. The hooks are half the length of the band instead of just being 1-2 inches near the end so you need to pull the band pretty tight to get a purchase on the loops of the velcro. The velcro loops should have extended much further to allow for more adjustable length. The overall length of the fabric would have been fine if the velcro was better. I don't have large wrists and I can barely secure the watch and it definitely wouldn't stay tight during activities/work so I ordered a bigger one.That being said however, I think the quality is great and the fabric is flexible and comfortable. The 18mm width size that I ordered was accurate and they included new spring clips and a spring clip tool. Installed the band in about 45 seconds. I love the look with my casio protrek and it gives it a much needed comfort that the standard silicone bands that came with it did not.(EDIT:) Over the course of 2 years I've had to buy 3 or so bands as the stitching tends to rip and the velcro separates away from the plastic. It only has a single thread on the sides holding the two strips together and I feel that a double stitch would have solved this problem or at least prolonged the band's failure. As well there comes a certain point where it builds up so much sweat/dirt that washing it doesn't get the smell out anymore and I end up having to put deodorant on the inside of the band and eventually replacing it. I could probably remove the watch face and soak the band in a solution or something but that's a lot more work and it's easier to buy a new one lol.

The perfect band for comfort and everyday wear
This is my second band. I had the same band for two years and never took it off. I swim daily in a chlorinated pool and it held up just fine. It is a great band and I suppose when this one succumbs to the wear and tear of everyday life, I will purchase the same one again.

Good Quality Velcro Strap
These are pretty good, relatively-comfortable straps. The main, inner part of the strap is 25mm for all sizes and it finished nicely such that it does not chafe (unlike like some other straps like this on Amazon). You then have to chose the width of the outer loop that you will thread behind your watch spring bars. Because of the buckle at the end of this strap, you have to remove and reinstall your existing spring bars over the strap. It can be a little bit fiddly to smash the strap down into the gap between the lugs while getting the spring bar back in.I am currently using the 18mm version on my Casio G-Shock DW-5600, and it works great. G-Shocks typically have 16mm lugs, but the 18mm nylon mesh has no issues cramming between them. The 25mm main strap looks great on the square G-Shocks.Believe it or not, the comically-small Casio F-91W and its many siblings also look pretty good on the 18mm version this strap (F-94WA shown here). It almost looks like it is integrated into the strap.There are two lengths available that determine how much of the velcro flap will be hanging out between the end of the 25mm inner band and the buckle. If you have a wrist smaller than ~7", the long strap will not close far enough around your wrist because the velcro is sewn nearly to the edge of the inner strap. This brings me to my one negative about this strap: the velcro flap has sharp edges that will dig into your wrist in this overhang area. I was able to smooth these edges with some 300 grit sandpaper, which helped a lot. What helps more is choosing a size that minimizes this overhang. I have a ~7" wrist and seem to be right in between sizes, depending on what watch I mount to it. I use the "regular" length on the F-91W and the "long" length on the G-Shock (which just barely gets tight enough).The version with the steel buckle grips the velcro flap more tightly from the sides than the plastic buckle. This makes it easier to put the watch on with the flap already threaded through the loop. The plastic buckle "takes-up" slightly more of the velcro flap than the steel one.

It works like I wanted it to.
I struggled to get the pins in the watch, but maybe that's just me. The fit is fine, the watch does not move on my wrist and it's easy to get on and off. So, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

A pleasure!
I got my husband an Apple Watch, so I could feel safer about him. We’re old. I took over his old watch, which had a large face that I could easily see. I bought this infinitely adjustable, very comfortable, and easy to put on the watch, watch band. The ease of taking the strap off and on helps me use the watch more because I’m not fighting with it. It’s also quite comfortable, and I think attractive. I know I’ve found myself admiring it.

My favorite watch band for active wear watches
I’ve been wearing “continuous” bands for about 20 years. After losing two watches overboard (while sailing), I learned about these bands that retain your watch if one of the pins breaks when the watch snags on something. They have saved me from losing at least 6 more watches! This brand has good size options (width and length) as well as material. The band is soft and comfortable on my wrist. The nylon strap and Velcro do breakdown with repeated taking off and putting on, so you may only get a year or two out of the band, depending on how frequently you remove it. This is the 5th band I’ve purchased in the last 5 years, for two different watches. I switch watches (on/off) a couple of times a week, to give you a gauge.

take a hard pass on that one
Undurable MIC crap. Plastic going to fall off after a few weeks. it does absorb sweat and dirt and grime. Considering giving me a petty "screwdriver" to get the pins in, not did I only felt insulted, but it seemed like it was a forced "gift" to appear the false sense of value.Take a pass on this one, unless you wanna buy a new one within 6 months.
