Paracord watches are cool. Made a few recently.

You're right, that is pretty cool.
Where did you get the watch parts, and what kind of process do you go through to braid and attach the cord?

I got them from craft stores i.e. Habby Lobby and Michael's. Here's how to tie the cord.

Video

To attach the watch, stop brading the knots half way across the bracelet. Remove your watch band pins and bands, then place the two middle pieces of paracord under the pins and replace the pins. This may be tough to fit them under and you may have to slightly bend the pins with pliers. Once the watch face is in place continue brading, the first knot after the watch face is actually opposite from the pattern, to make the knots jump across the watch horizontally, you'll understand when you learn to tie the knots. The rest is explained in the video.

Here's how it should look from below

This is all how to do it with one strand/color. To do it with multiple colors like my grey and black one search multiple color paracord bracelet on youtube. The rest applies.

That should last about forever, unlike plastic/rubber bracelets.

Yea disco, plus they're cool because if you need rope you can take it apart and get about seven feet of it.

oh cool it's all one piece, neat =)

The only downside i can see to them is adjusting the wrist size, other than that they look way more comfortable thatn plastic/rubber, and they look cool, well done! =)

And yeah, the images are gigantic. Surprising ImageShack will let you upload images that big.. have a heart for us non-broadband-surfing peeps =)

Now those digital Casio clocks with paracord rope will make you look a bit strange... though it's pretty resistant. Nice job!

Yeah they're kind of ancient, but if they work, who cares.

I wanted the calculator watch when I was in school :P

It comes in pretty handy.

I used to have one of those, until my brother decided to break it.
It was fairly handy.
