I purchased this strap to replace a pathetic Velcro wrist band that came with a Suunto wrist compass.  Because this wrist compass does not have watch pins, some modification of this band was needed to adapt it to the compass.  Through a little slicing, gluing, and restitching, I was able to apply this band to my wrist compass.  If you are buying this to replace an actual watchband, no modification will be needed to use this strap.  The strap is extremely comfortable and I would consider consider this to be an immediate upgrade to any sport watches rubber band.  It is truly the most comfortable watchband I have ever worn.  I have posted a picture along with my review of the strap around my wrist.
