Abstract
Abstract A wrist watch protector comprises a flexible wrist encircling band for covering the watch with a centrally located opening for viewing the face of the watch. A quick-opening flap secured to the top of the wrist band covers the watch crystal. Utilization of a watch-carrying band strap located between the band and the flap allows the protector to optionally serve as a watch band by threading the strap through the bracelet attaching pins carried by the watch body.
