A bottled water carrying strap includes a longitudinally extended strap section and a wrist-engaging loop mounted on one end of the strap section. A bottle neck engagement section is mounted at an opposite end of the strap section which includes at least two generally circular flexible and resilient bottle neck engagement plates each having a center bottle neck engaging hole operative to be stretched to extend around a bottle neck extended therethrough and resiliently attempt to return to its unstretched position to releasably secure the bottle neck therewithin. Each of the bottle neck engagement plates include different inner and outer diameters with each being concentrically mounted generally parallel within each other for use with bottle necks of different diameters. Finally, the bottle neck engagement plates are movably mounted such that upon use of one of them, the other bottle neck engagement plates are movable to generally prevent securement interference.

1 . A bottled water carrying strap comprising: 
 a longitudinally extended strap section;    a wrist-engaging loop mounted on one end of said strap section adapted to fit over and onto the wrist of a user of said bottled water carrying strap;    a bottle neck engagement section mounted at an opposite end of said strap section opposite said wrist-engaging loop;    said bottle neck engagement section including at least two generally circular flexible and resilient bottle neck engagement plates each having a center bottle neck engaging hole operative to be stretched to extend around a bottle neck extended therethrough and resiliently attempt to return to its unstretched position to releasably secure a bottle neck extended therethrough;    each of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates having different inner and outer diameters with each being concentrically mounted generally parallel with each other with smaller diameter ones of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates each movably mounted inside of the next larger of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates whereby each of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates are operative to engage and releasably secure bottle necks of different diameters therewithin; and    said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates being movably mounted on said bottle neck engagement section such that upon selection of one of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates to engage and releasably secure a bottle neck therein, the others of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates are movable to generally prevent interference of said others of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates with said selected one of said at least two generally circular bottle neck engagement plates.
