If you had read that it was an EXPEDITION watch band, you would have known not to buy an inexpensive watch band for your precious USB timex watch... this band is the exact fit for every expedition watch that timex makes. I've gone through 4 bands on the same watch.. Highly reccomend for people who have an EXPEDITION watch.

This product does not fit the Timex Data Link USB watch perfectly. It is a generic band designed to fit almost any watch and so the watch has lost it's snug, handsome looks. You see the data link series watch is of a peculiar design where the band is of a unique shape and cut so as to fit the groove of the watch itself. This band, on the other hand, causes that band housing to hang out or protude over the band creating an unattractive appearance. I have therefore relegated it to being worn just for sport and not for work or other show. Mind you, it is clearly a much more durable band than the plastic variety which always breaks (I have been through 3 of those now). But in losing its looks it loses its appeal and so I am obliged to downgrade the score.

This strap fits on my watch, but is designed for a bigger wrist than mine. It just dosen't seat well on my wrist. I can get it on just right, but then when I swim with it on, or go for a long run, my arm movements will loosen it and my watch will slide over to where I cannot read it easily. I think this strap would be fine if you have large or normal sized wrists, but mine are small and this is not the band for me. I will shop for another band to fit my favorite workout watch.

Old strap broke. Wasn't sure about this but after a bit of a struggle to put it on (those little pins are a pain) I like it much better than the factory original. Use it for my heart monitor watch - and I can now attach it to much of the equipment at the gym, as well as comfortably on my wrist. recommended.

Though the band is certainly functional, the stitching is not very durable. After wearing my watch with it for only a day, the stitching on the hanging end of the strap started coming loose. It doesn't seem to have affected the function of the band, but I don't know how it will hold up in the long term.

As for the pros of this band, it's comfortable and can hold even very large watches - I use it with my Seiko Monster and it seems that the band is big enough to hold a considerably larger watch.

Nice band and solved the problem of breaking watch bands. I admit it doesn't appear incredibly stellar, but the benefit allows me to chuckle when I think of the fancier ones getting old and breaking..
