Archer Watch Straps - Soft Silicone Quick Release Watch Bands

I recently upgraded my Withings Smartwatch with the Archer Watch Straps in Portland Orange (20mm), and I have to say, they’ve exceeded my expectations. Here’s a quick rundown of my experience: **Comfort & Fit** The strap is incredibly comfortable—its soft silicone material feels gentle on the skin even during extended wear. Whether I’m at the office or out cycling, it stays secure without any discomfort, making it perfect for everyday use. **Quality & Design** The quality of this band is evident right out of the box. The build feels robust and durable, yet it maintains a sleek, modern design that effortlessly complements my smartwatch. The quick-release feature is a game changer, allowing for hassle-free swaps whenever I want to freshen up my look. **Color & Style** Portland Orange is a standout choice. It’s vibrant and adds a fun pop of color to my smartwatch, striking a great balance between sporty and stylish. I’ve received plenty of compliments on it, and it’s definitely turned my watch into a conversation starter. **Overall Impression** I’m thoroughly impressed with the Archer Watch Straps and their performance. Given the comfort, high quality, and eye-catching color, I’m already planning to pick up a few more in different hues. If you’re looking to upgrade your smartwatch’s look with a band that’s as functional as it is stylish, I’d highly recommend giving these a try.

I'm delighted with my new strap. I've always struggled to find a completely plain strap and I try to avoid wearing leather. The strap looks great, was a perfect fit on my watch despite my anxiety about measuring accurately, dead easy to install and really soft and comfortable on my wrist. The quality seems nice, but at the price I won't mind replacing it if it's gone scruffy after a few months. I recommend. Q

I have just had to send this back. Bought this for a Vivoactive @3 to replace original strap. This was all because my husband had lost the little strap that holds the strap down once threw the buckle. He then decided rather than have it flap he would cut it! Yes youve guessed it he cut it too short!! So, had I ordered from Garmin it would take 3 to 5 weeks delivery and cost £30. So started a search on trusty old Amazon. There are certainly lots to choose from but with varying reviews for various watches. I settled on Archer because it seemed to have a lot of very good reviews although not for Garmin. There is no doubt that this is a nice quality product, hence the four stars. I could not in all honesty leave a three star. I ordered a grey strap, 20mm for a Vivoactive @3 watch, to replace the original. It came in good time and in very good condition. It is a lovely grey a bit lighter than I would have liked but my husband who it was for really liked it. It looked very good with the black watch. I measured it prior to ordering (obviously) but measured it against the old one prior to putting it on and it looked exactly the same. It went on easily and husband was delighted. However, in the course of a couple of days it popped off several times. luckily it was noticed and not lost, nor did my husbands watch get damaged. So it may be false economy I don't know but I have now ordered a couple more (different ones) to see if they fair any better. one in particular mentions it fit the Vivoactive @3. By the time I either get the right one, I may as well have ordered the original from Garmin, but hey ho!! Fingers crossed. If they fit you can buy 2 or 3 for the price of the original and have a few different colouirs. I would say if this does fit and stay put it is a nice quality product for the money.

I am not a first timer very nice quality and colour choices and comfortable thank you I will be back. Alan Sorani

Excellent product, great value. Looks and feels the part on my Citizen Eco Drive. My old strap was breaking at the pivot point around the spring pin. 23mm size is a little harder to find than 22 or 24mm. The feel of the strap is much better than my old one too. The Archer strap is a 'straight' fit, unlike the curved fit of the original but it looks perfect. It's unfussy and contemporary, so would look good an any watch style, I should imagine. The quick release mechanism made fitting it a doddle. Very pleased.

I am very happy with this strap. It arrived quickly and came in a really nice box. It was really easy to install and it looks very smart on my Huawei Watch GT2. It is softer to the touch than the silicone strap that comes with the watch and the Orange colour really compliments the black watch. I wear my watch 24/7 and the strap shows no signs of premature wear it is still as it was on the day I got it. There isn't even a mark on it where the buckle position is - I noted on the Huawei strap that after a couple of weeks the buckle was leaving an imprint on the strap where it was in the same position all the time - not seeing that with the Archer strap. Some reviewers have commented that the chrome colour of the buckle doesn't look as good as a black buckle would and I think they are right thought I have no problem with the Chrome buckle, it's not so noticeable or bad that it detracts from the colour or look. If I decide to get a different coloured strap in the future I will certainly be buying another Archer strap. Excellent quality, really comfortable and looks really nice too. Buy one.... Update - Jan 2021 A bit disappointed to have discovered that my strap is starting to split on the long section. The split is around the pin clasp and I feel it may not last much longer. Had hoped it would last me longer than 7 months. If Archers see this I'd welcome their feedback. UPDATE 1ST FEB 2021 I contacted Archers via email about my strap and within 30 mins they responded, they asked for my order number and have dispatched a replacement strap and were very apologetic. Their straps have a 2 year warranty which I didn't realise. So I'm very happy with their service and support.

i've ordered 2 times one steel-blue and one graphite colors. the steel blue color was about 5 years ago and still no issue with quality. just wear and tear due to usage but very normal. just ordered graphite color but i saw the price has gone up by 50% since 2020 and i think for this silicone strap it's not reasonable. it should be more accessible imho. another issue i can say is the grapphite color is more lighter color than on images. it's definitely not same color. i'm ok with this as well but i wish it was consistent with the image on pictures. overall i think i'll give 4 star due to being a bit pricey and color is not exactly same as on images. quality wise i liked and hope this will be same.

I purchased the Archer strap/s as an alternative to the standard black offering on my Samsung Galaxy 46mm watch, which requires a 22mm fitting. As there is a 20% promotion discount when ordering three, I took the plunge and ordered four in different colours, Midnight Blue, Portland Orange, Naples Yellow and Venetian Red. The good news is that the 20% discount was applied to all of my order. It was a bit of a gamble ordering so many without seeing them first but it paid off as they are a great alternative to the boring black strap that comes as standard on the watch. So much so that I have since ordered a further two straps in British Racing Green & White. A total of 6; one for almost every day of the week and great for when travelling. They really complement the watch, definitely look the part, and are a perfect fit. The quick release pins slide effortlessly and securely into the watch body. The material is a very tactile and smooth finish silicone. I have worn the straps for nearly 24 hours a day for the past week since receiving them and there is no sign whatsoever of any skin irritation. Its too early to comment about the durability but they definitely feel decent enough. The standard Samsung strap is a bit thicker where it joins the watch and has shaped cutaways for the watch lugs (see enclosed picture comparing the standard Samsung black strap with the Archer Venetian Red equivalent). The Samsung strap is also 3mm longer. Non of which makes any notable difference to the fit and function of the Archer strap. You can see what it looks like in the enclosed picture when fitted to the Samsung watch. This being the Portland Orange strap. The Archer Strap is a bit more expensive than some other silicone straps being offered on Amazon and elsewhere but I speak from personal experience when I say that it is infinitely better than the ones I made the mistake of ordering first. Which I returned due the robustness (or lack of), of the clasp, and the fact that the pins were far too short to engage securely with the watch body. There is no doubt that the Archer strap is a nice quality product and a fitting addition to the Samsung 46mm watch. .
