I am unable to post in the band/bracelet forum so I am posting here.
I recently purchased a Citizen BM8180-03E eco-drive watch.

I know many people are dissatisfied with the stock band but I really like it, problem is its a little short. The other problem is: I really like the color/shade of green and nylon coarse fabric. I've ordered several canvas bands and they aren't the same shade of green or type of nylon woven fabric. This is real hard to understand w/o seeing the band directly vs a picture on the web.. Does anyone know who makes these for Citizen and/or if the know of one made from same material?

thanks in advance

These two are made by timex or were supplied on timex watches, they are 20mm and have timex or expedition signed buckles. The fabric is pretty good as they are each more than 5 years old with plenty of time wearing. Timex might still l have them on their website.

The LH one looks closer to the color and fabric, and I see they make one for 18mm lugs. Unfortunately, its 115mm and 75mm which is too short for my Citizen and 7-3/4" wrist. I need more like 125/80.. Maybe my watch was intended for a smaller wrist, but I like a smaller dia watch.

Someone must make one with identical fabric to Citizens original but can't find it. From my perspective that's odd because its a fine looking color and stitch.
thanks for trying.

The stock strap on the BM8180-03E has a unique green tone and texture that’s hard to match. Try Maratac or Crown & Buckle for similar coarse-weave options, but they won’t be exact. You might have luck sourcing an OEM replacement directly from Citizen or an authorized service center.
