Before putting it on the watch, exercise the nylon. Twist, stretch and crunch it. Essentially give it a couple months worth of wear over ten minutes.

 

Wear it.
Wash it.
Wear it.

 

Washing machine or dishwasher then hang dry or just wear it and break it in. The cheaper ones just aren't as comfortable unfortunately.

 

I found good results soaking it in fabric softener overnight. Then ran it in the next load of laundry.

 

Throw it into the washing machine for a couple of time, you will see the difference, just like with stuff made from denim.

 

Chuck it in the washing machine (take the watch off first though)

 

Wearing it is usually the best way to get it to break in.

 

Get it wet, then back over it with your car a couple times. Wash it, then twist it dry. Then get it wet again, then back over it with the car again. Twist it a few times, then stomp on it. Then wash it in boiling hot water with industrial strength detergent. Twist it again, then mash it with a bench vise. Wash it with a steam power washer, then put it between two cinder blocks for 48 hours. Twist it in your hands a few times, then pour baseball glove oil all over it; let it absorb the oil. Then wash it by attaching it to the antenna of your car, in a car wash. Don't dry it this time. Instead leave it on the roof of your home for three days in August (if northern hemisphere). If it's not soft and supple by now, send it back to the vendor telling them you want a full refund.

 

It may take a few days to soften similar to breaking in a new baseball mitt. Afterwards, you won't even notice you're wearing it. If you want to expedite the process, it's easy to do.

 

Wear and wash. And keep it wrapped in a watch pillow (i.e. don't have it just lay flat).

 

Tell it it has pretty eyes.

 

That would certainly make me soft.

 

Washing machine for the win . . .

 

Thanks everyone, looks like it will go into my next load of laundry (-;

 

I soak my nato and Zulu straps in warm water with approx 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Softens them up really fast. You could also simply add a bit of baking soda to your laundry and wash them as normal with a load of clothes.
