Paracord watchband/bracelet with a side release buckle

Step 4 Attach the watch

Attach the watch by sliding the two free ends of cord over the pins, under the watch, and back out over the other pins. Slide the watch to about what will be the halfway point between the two parts of the buckle once the other buckle is attached.

The plastic buckles hold up well, I've never had one break on me, but being plastic, they will eventually break if enough force/stress is applied to them. Some folks like to use the bow/D shackles for paracord bracelets, but they are more expensive, heavier, and harder to get on/off than using a side release buckle, it's just a personal preference to use them or not.

any ideas on how to remove the battery once it dies?

[Stormdrane]

Remove one of the watch pins, remove and replace battery at the now accessible backside of the watch, Then replace watch pin back under paracord. You can also remove both watch pins to change to a different watch, using the same paracord band. This applies to the other patterns of paracord watchbands too.
