The watch band includes a top and bottom portion of an adjustable elastic band that is circumferentially surrounded by an outer tube of bunched fabric along its length.

The watch band has an opening aperture at least partially along the length of the fabric tubing that, when opened, forms a cavity between the bunches of fabric tubing and elastic band suitable for storing personal items.
