Paracord Watchstrap

[Deleted member 4605]

Stormdrane's blog is dangerous...

My new supply of paracord (still not the good stuff though) and some curved side release clips arrived from eBay this morning so I decided to put a new strap on my favourite watch:





It's made of two continuous pieces of paracord, and although all the ends are sealed the whole thing can be undone if needs be. I'd guess each length is about 1 metre. I love the two tone, and I'm going to be buying more colours instead of just OD in the future.

that is really good - the paracords ok as well

the only problem I see is if you need the cord then where do you stick your watch?

looks sweet. how is it to wear? the buckle seems a little chunky for comfort to me.

Thanks. It'll go in a pocket until I can make another one!

It is a bit chunky, but it's been fine to wear so far.

I bet you were well chuffed with that schwuk.
Nice one!

Well here is my first effort at a paracord watch strap.
And I'm pretty pleased.. Its a lot more comfortable than the leather strap that came with the watch.

this was made with about 4 mtrs of paracord (all one piece)

What do you think?

Wow - I like that a lot. What knots are you using? Not a great one for this sort of thing, but have you got a tutorial that I could try?
