This is my fourth Freestyle watch. I still have all of them and they work great. The only reason why I bought this one is for the watchband. My first Shark watch is 13 years old and it came with the best watchband ever which is still on the watch so I looked everywhere to find another one but no body makes them. The double layered nylon strap with a BUCKLE not Velcro is impossible to find. I saw this watch for $29 with free shipping so I jumped on it to get the watchband. I use this watchband for my second Shark watch that I have had for 7 years. The plastic watchband only lasted 2 years and the replacement bands are $17.
