About Us - Paracord bands and Garmin Smartwatches

Military Veteran founded and owned. Simply operated no BS business plan: you order it and we make it. I love a good strong watch, but I got tired of buying the same crappy watch bands from the same companies over and over. As a Marine training in salt water, chlorinated pools, beaches, and deserts, my watch bands never lasted more than a year or two and never more than a deployment to the Middle East. After searching the web and finding nothing more than the same OEM bands that are half the price of the watch and fall apart in the same 1 year period I decided to make my own. When I saw all the message boards with the same complaints that I had from so many people I figured I'd offer them to the world.

Paracord is braided nylon outer layer with 7 inner nylon twisted cords, also called 550 cord. Originally used in parachutes it is often referred to as Parachute cord. It is light and super strong basically understood to hold up to 550lbs of dead weight per cord. It is fast drying, flexible, soft, mildew/salt/oil/UV resistant, and does not stretch or shrink in normal conditions. It is a staple of any military gear, hiking pack, or outdoor adventure. Most importantly it will not dry out and crack becoming stiff and rip when you need it the most. 

I thought this would be the perfect watch band material. After surviving the end of my military career and making it threw a police academy I thought others might want the same thing. I researched the styles and methods and came up with the best functioning and best looking variations and decided to do them better than anyone else. 

With Mrs. Gunny owning and working full time for the business we have been putting out literally thousands of paracord watch bands, key chains, and survival bracelets since 2016!

 I take the same approach to my business as I took in the military and my law enforcement career, nothing but perfection and commitment to excellence. We use only the best paracord and not the cheap craft/light weight material. Every band in hand made to order specific to each customers wrist size, watch make/model, and style and color choice. These are not S/M/L/XL sized off the shelf Chinese made crap. I intend for our bands to be the last watch band your watch will ever need and never leave you at work, on duty, or worse deployed with a broken useless watch band. Every style is function first and form a close second. They work and look damn good doing it. If you have an idea for a specific design let me know. In all cases you are dealing directly with me or my wife, not some company customer service monkey or robot. If there is a misunderstanding we'll work it out, and please: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!   

We strive to make sure our bands are the best. Tight weaves, even loops and solid hardware are the key. It takes time but when done right, will last for years.

Look close and compare photos and be your own judge on quality. We have been directly and indirectly ripped off by others and overseas "sellers" over the past few years. Literally taking our words verbatim out of our listings. We didn't invent weaving paracord but when our color combos and photos are mirrored in other sites, it just proves that we are doing it right.
