Paracord watchband/bracelet with a side release buckle

Step 9: You can make the alternate half-hitch without the watch

You can make the alternate half-hitch without the watch for use as a paracord bracelet, and on a larger scale as a dog or cat collar. You may also use two colors of paracord. If using two colors, instead of one 10 foot piece of paracord, use 5 feet of each color and melt or sew the two ends together and go from there.

This was awesome! I wanted to get my boyfriend a paracord watch for Christmas and hated all the ones I ordered... after I made this, I can say that he will (hopefully!) LOVE his Christmas present! It looks great! Thanks for the great instructions! Took less than an hour on the "real one"... made a mini version as a prototype with only took 1/2 hour or so! :)

Took a little over an hour because of trial and error on sizing and how to do the back of the watch. Great Instructable!

You use an old watch that you already have or buy a new one and remove the band to add a paracord version. The particular model watch I used was purchased over 10 years ago, so it may not be available anymore, but you can always search around ebay, amazon, etc...
