Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
We sell various types of survival bands! However, our most popular bands are adjustable! Once we receive your order, your wrist size and watch measurements are given to our weaver for production. Then, the band is meticulously weaved with a seven strand 550 Lbs. strength paracord over two hook and loops. When the band is completed, it goes through a rigorous quality control to assure the measurements are correct, the buckle functions properly and there is no defects. Once the band passes quality control, the band is ready for shipping.
Our bands fit watches with regular spring bars and strap screws. Most watches lug have an allocated space where you can easily install our bands, however, some watches come with corner, center and multi notched straps, these are not compatible with our bands.
Our adjustable bands come with two separate belts! One belt is adjustable and the hook and loop can be extended for 1 extra inch for comfort!
Buying our bands is quick and easy! All you need is three measurements, your wrist size, watch case size and lug width. The lug width is the space where your band connects! We use the most common measuring units. Since we are located in the United States, we use inches as the measuring unit for wrist sizes. However, for watch measurements, we use millimeters since this is the most common worldwide measurement unit used today. Whatever measuring unit you use, conversion tables are easily found on the internet.
We understand that sometimes mismeasurements may happen, so we want to make your shopping experience stress free! We are here to help! We will be happy to resize your band, just contact us for instructions! Customers are responsible for shipping the band back to us. Once we receive your band, we will resize it or make a brand new band if resizing is not possible, we will even replace the buckle if necessary, then we will ship the band back to you. We only charge $12.95 for labor, materials are FREE!
We understand you need you band quickly, so, we make and ship you custom band between 24 to 48 hours or sooner, after your order is received. Except for Fridays, weekends and holidays! We ship our bands daily!
