CasioOriginal watch strap for DW-6900, 71604262

Factory G-Shock replacement, I needed to buy fresh pins but it fits like new, now for another 10 years in a body shop and see how long this one last... this watch and band has taken a beating on shop floor..

I recently picked up a new watch band replacement, and overall, it was a pretty solid purchase. The quality was decent, and the replacement process was straightforward—nothing too complicated. If you’ve ever swapped out a watch band before, you know it can sometimes be a hit or miss depending on the fit and material, but this one worked out just fine.Amazon is great to do business with—responsive, shipped quickly, and delivered exactly what was promised. No complaints there! And honestly, you really can’t beat the deals on Amazon. With so many options at different price points, it’s easy to find something that fits your style without spending a fortune.If you’re thinking about replacing your watch band, I’d definitely recommend checking out Amazon for a good deal. Just make sure to double-check compatibility with your watch model, and you should be good to go!

Just what I wanted!

Ok, so this band definitely fit my GW-6900. No argument there. However, it was clearly more stiff than the OEM, and the clasp was plastic versus metal. Wasn't a real big fan, so I did some research to see what else was out there. Came across this band...Genuine Casio Watch Strap Band... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EJU3U12?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareNot intended for my model, but a perfect fit. Plus, way softer material AND a metal clasp. Go order this one if you're a GW-6900 owner, thank me later. One pic is this band, the other two are the band I'm recommending instead on my GW-6900.

I bought it because it looked exactly like the one I needed, and it was the only one that had a chance of fitting my watch. But the tube through which the pin is inserted had much thicker side walls than the one I was replacing, and it would not allow the pin to line up with the holes in the watch. When I get time I'm going to see if I can carve off some of the excess thickness to make it fit. I gave it five stars for comfort because I never got it installed, but had I been able to I'm sure it would have been as comfortable as the original. I gave it one star for "easy to install" because it was impossible to install for the above reason. But none of this was the fault of the seller, and the product arrived the very next day after ordering. I cannot complain about the service.

Stiff not as comfortable as the original bad or as well made buyer beware .

In terms of materials and fit - it's identical to the factory strap that came on my G-2500. In other words, if you liked the original strap - you'll like this one. I was concerned that the tongue and buckle are made of plastic, but they seem well-made and durable enough in person, so I don't think they'll be points of failure.Worth mentioning: on G-2500 you cannot reattach the plastic retainer bar for the original strap that is held on with screws. The design of this strap is slightly different and doesn't allow for the bar to go over it as it does on the original. Functionally, I don't think that retainer is hugely necessary, however, you'll have screw holes exposed. IMO, this only adds to the rugged, utilitarian, "unfinished" look of the watch, but your mileage may vary.

I bought this knowing it was for a casio and guessing I would need to modify it to fit my timex marathon. The tabs on the marathon watch was a little longer than the gap allowed for the band. I had to shave the band to let it slide in further in on the marathon tabs; only about 1/16 of an inch. The band is stiff so hopefully it will conform with some use. I thought I would give this band a try since it was made for the 16mm pin size of my watch. There are not many good replacement watch bands out there that are flexible, not elastic, not water absorbing, and long enough to fit my wrist. Hopefully it will last several years. The last casio band which was similar to this did not last very long. My other last purchase of silicone band was not long enough and lasted slightly less than a year. So not made for my watch, modified and hoping for long lasting wear. Time will tell.
