• and
• a tab comprising a strap, wherein the strap comprises a strap inner segment and a strap outer segment, wherein the strap inner segment and the strap outer segment each extend from an inner stitch coupling the strap to the engagement surface of the base, wherein the strap inner segment is coupled to the contact surface of the base, and the strap outer segment extends over the strap inner segment and is coupled to the contact surface of the base.

A watchband comprising:

• a central section extending longitudinally along a length of the watchband, the central section comprising first woven threads;
• loops extending from a surface of the central section;
• and
• a pair of edge sections interwoven with the central section along opposing sides of the central section, the edge sections comprising second woven threads different from the first woven threads,
• wherein end portions of each of the edge sections, defined at least in part by the second woven threads, extend longitudinally along the central section, beyond an end of the central section, and laterally around the end of the central section, the end portions of each of the edge sections being coupled to each other and the end of the central section.
