Narako Watch Bands

Ordered this for my Deep Blue diving watch. With the exception of the brand not being stamped in the buckle, it looks like the exact band the watch came with. It was a bit stiff at first, but as I've worn the watch it has softened up. Fit the watch perfectly, installed easily. Feels like a high quality band, and has held up well so far. Quite happy with it.

This Narako watch band is of great quality and not just "for the price". This is my second Narako I've purchased for my Seiko Diver. It also includes a cool little tool that makes removing and replacing the band pins a breeze. Definitely recommended.

This is close to the OEM Band which is no longer available. The 22mm width is accurate, but this band doesn't "form-fit" the curve of the watch body as the OEM did. It does fit, and othewise is very similar to the original. The band comes with 4 spring-rods which are long enough, but are very thin for the large holes in the band. It also comes with a spring tool which was helpful. A decent band for the price. It's nice to have my old "smiley" Casio back on my wrist!

I needed a longer band for a slightly larger wrist. Tired of being on the last hole with other watch bands. This one fits the bill and the extra tucks in nicely. Best feature is the small screwdriver tool that makes it painless to install in 2 seconds. Watch band is a little thin but a big upgrade over others that are flimsy and wear quickly.

TLDR: good silicone band and nice tool for pins, bad hardware needs to be replaced with old I bought this band for my Seiko Kinetic watch because I couldn't find an OEM band at 20mm width. The good news is the band itself has a matching material to the original: same thickness; same flexibility - I don't like stiff bands that crack. Good attention to detail on the band with smooth finish on the exterior and textured finish on the side facing your wrist. The bad news is the provided hardware was lacking. The pins to connect the band to the watch were too thin and looked like they would fail under any stress. If I had used them, the band would have a sloppy feel because the hole through the band was larger than the pins. So I cleaned the old corroded pins and reused them. The clasp was stout but the prong was too long. Seems like a small detail but it made adjusting the length of the band extremely frustrating especially because I like to wear my watch snug to the wrist. So just like the pins, I cut the clasp from the old band and installed it in the new one - much better! Fortunately, the band came with a nice forked tool to make removing and installing the pins very simple. Next time I have to replace the band, I will have to think hard about whether I want to buy the 22mm OEM band and cut it to size or buy this one again and go through replacing all the hardware.

The quality was great. It was better than others I had previously purchased. I used my pins as the originals were thicker. It does come with replacements though. It was a reasonable in price. Would recommend.

IMHO, this watch band is useless, the plastic is stiff and wants to spring back to a flat shape even when its on your wrist. Because it wants to be flat all the time its hard to put on. The plastic is not soft as described and it will make your wrist sweat. Save you money.

I bought the 20mm version for my Seiko Scuba. I like the dark flat black color. The flexibility is similar to a new Casio. The length is longer than with my new Casio. I have a large wrist, this strap will fit a huge wrist. Fits the watch perfectly between the lugs. I didn't try the hardware. I planned on reusing my original spring bars and buckle. The buckle is flat steel. I prefer my original shiny buckle. But if my original was not usable, I would have used the replacement no problem. My Seiko is quite old. The strap broke due to age. I didn't want to spend big money on the genuine Seiko strap. I'm 100 percent satisfied with this replacement.

Way better than replacing a watch. Gave new life to the one i wear almost all the time. East to install with provided pins and tool

I bought this 20mm Seiko Naruto band to install on a Casio watch. Unfortunately the band is too wide for the watch lugs. Turns out these brands are not exactly interchangeable. That seems to be mostly a Casio problem, in that the watch is supposedly 20mm but the lugs are more like 19mm apart. Luckily, I can slice off some of the strap's width, since it's rubber and not leather or cloth. (Ignore the word "leather" appearing in a couple of the product photos. *shrug*) The bigger problem is that the Seiko spring bars are also too thick to fit into the tiny holes in the Casio lugs. That DOES seem like a Seiko issue -- why are the bars so fat? I will have to install the strap using the spring bars that came with the watch. Not a big deal, since the watch is new, but it could potentially be a problem with an older watch. Bottom line: it's a reasonably good-looking, sturdy band that needs a bit of kludging to fit my Casio. Be careful, if you're planning to install it on anything other than a Seiko.

I was looking for a 20mm silicone strap for my new Seiko dive watch and came across this version from Narako. The overall material is pretty good. It is a bit stiff brand new, and with the strap slightly long, the tail end of the strap sticks out quite a bit on my 6.5-inch bare wrist. I am sure the strap will be a bit more flexible over time. I wish they would have done a better job in smoothing out the exterior edge at the spring bar pin location; it is a bit rough, but thankfully, that side faces toward the watch case and is hidden. The strap's lug width is exactly 20mm and fits perfectly to my watch. The buckle had a matted look to it, though a shiny one would match my watch. I love the ribbing on the strap; not only it is functional, but also it is a classic style and IMHO adds to the look of the dive watch. The strap is comfortable to wear and there is inner texture that somewhat grips on to my wrist. I do not see the strap's material will break down any time soon. I find it funny that this strap is not a Seiko OEM strap, but it has the Seiko dive logo as well as the Seiko name in various location of the strap. ** Warning ** Do not use the included spring bar pin (4 of them). They do not fit. If you do use them, there is a guarantee that you will drop or lose your watch! Use your OEM spring bar pins because they are fatter and hence stronger, and they will also fit into this strap.

It is a good replica of the original Seiko rubber strap, right down to molecular level because it’s just as hard and uncomfortable to wear. At first, when I took it out of the bag, seemed a bit softer but once I put it on my SKX007, it was just as hard as I remembered it. It is not bending enough to pick up the wrist contour and it squeezes the wrist from the sides. Where the buckle is, there was a gap I could fit my pinky finger through. Unless this strap is being worn on top of a wet suit, I found it impossible to wear it straight on my wrist for longer than 10 minutes. It is definitely not for a daily use and unless it’s being used for scuba diving, I can recommend it. Some people say that given enough time, will “mold” around your wrist and become more comfortable. Good luck to those people. This material is rubber, it may initially pick up the shape of your wrist, but once you take it off, will slowly return to its original form.

J'ai des poignets immenses et ça fit très bien je suis même pas au bout. Matériaux de bonne qualité, confortable.
