I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

The strap is rubber so won't stretch over time. My advice is to buy the Timex Velcro Ironman strap and fit it to the watch in place of the old one. It is far nor in keeping with he nature of the watch and is much better for putting on or taking off quickly.

This is a late response to Diosdado but if it can help someone else... I am a female with small, bony 6" wrists. I ordered the Pro series in small and extra small. The small had a bit of room but couldn't close tighter because that was as far as it could go. There was also some excess strap sticking out which I knew would drive me insane while lifting. The extra small could close tighter (I know they say you don't want it tight but I like having the option) and I was able to make it looser as well. The main thing was no excess strap sticking out. Now, my husband tried the small on and while he didn't lift anything with the grips they seemed to fit him okay.

It's an elastic strap - which does measure 40" when not stretched (and we've gotten the straps to stretch quite a way). While you should check how comfortable a single strap would be, you can daisy chain multiple straps together, if necessary. In our experience, you can easily get them to stretch more to more than 50" without being too uncomfortable.

Hi Abbie. I bought it for my husband. He wears rather large watches and it fits fine. Hope this helps.

I should fit a variety of sizes. There are tons of holes to latch it. I have a 7.4inch wrist and it fits me (i switched to the slim strap (sold separate) that I like better) but the original band fits fine.

I believe it is normal to wide. My son has a wider hand - he wears mens large size gloves and it fits him fine. The strap does wrap around the wrist. hope this helps.

Hi... Well I carry a 9mm w/ fairly loose fitting tops and mine is quite noticeable. Another somewhat con is that the band is made with 2 gun slots, either for a left or right hand carry and the strap on the side that the gun is not in pokes out... Ive considered cutting off the strap because its fairly noticeable as well... Maybe its just my gun size, but I wouldnt recommend this band with tight fitting clothing, if your looking to be discreet!

It is very stretchy, and will fit wrists of all sizes. It eventually stretches to your size, but never is too tight.

I am size 40R for suit jackets (man). My waist is 32. After adjusting the chest strap, there are still about 3 or 4 extra inches. Hope this helps.

Mine only had a 20" strap. I have a 34" waist - and it take a lot of stretching. The elastic is quite gentle though.

The strap does not adjust forward. The fit on my Borador is the same and I have not noticed any problems. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know the size of the check strap ? I wear a size 50 suit and wondering if it will fit me.

I too have small wrists , that has never been an issue. The strap can go to child size .. Hope this helps.

My wife has and commented about the strap. When it was colder and she was jackets it wasn't an issue, and its not about comfort. The strap tends to work its way to the middle which depending on the blouse or shirt makes her uncomfortable (looks vice comfort).

Let's try to do the math. I have the deluxe, cloth strap. My strap is 33.5" long and comfortably fits my chest (male, 5"10", 165 lb). This strap has 17" of elastic, that I can double to 34" by pulling it. Within the 17" elastic section, there is a 3-fold section that can be lengthened or contracted. This expandable section is 2.5" on my strap. If I contracted it to a minimum, my strap's overall length might increase by 2". If I expanded the section to a maximum, my strap might shrink by 4". So, we do the math. The strap could range from 33.5"-4"=29.5" to 33.5"+2"=35.5". The strap would be comfortable in a range of 29.5" to 35.5". Since I pull my strap about 3" to clasp it, the comfortable length when worn would be 29.5" to 38.5". At its longest, it would have a 19" elastic part that could expand to 38". That is, we could stretch the 19" elastic to the maximum (a double), making the range from 29.5" to 54.5" in length. The strap would be pure torture if it were stretched that taut. To be reasonably comfortable, I don't think you would want to exceed a range from 30" to 42" in length. This strap does not need to be torture tight. You do need to put water on a 2" cloth part and conducting gel on the 10" heart-rate part. The conducting gel will keep the strap stuck to your chest, which for a female is just below their sports bra, and for a male, on their breast bone. I buy my gel at my grocer's pharmacy as a special order, size of 5 liters (about 1.25 gallons). My grocer is #2 by grocery sales, behind only the big-box warehouse grocer. The 5L size is enough to last several years. :-) You want your strap to be comfortably in place at the beginning of your exercise, as adjusting your strap during your exercise can lead to very strange workout statistics. Final answer: 30" to 42" in length when worn comfortably during an exercise session.

I use this with my mask and it works quite well. It does stretch out as time goes by. I am re-ordering one. I have been using my current strap for 2 years-so I think I have gotten my money's worth!
