ArtStyleWatch Band with Ballistic Nylon Material Strap and High-End Black Buckle (Matte Finish Buckle)

good band, soft and durable
So far this watch band seems to be as good as the multicolored grey hardwared 20mm version i bought under the same name from Amazon. They have very thick mdtal backets, buckes and hardware so keep that in mind when buying. I like the thick hardware, but others might not.

Army Green Balistics Watch Band:
The Army Green Ballistics watch band is very nice. Very good quality and you just know it’s gonna last a good while when you wear ya watch with it. I know they have several colors, so I’m going to have myself a field day and get all them. I do recommend this watch band.

Almost perfect
*Update:* I make a policy (that I don't always keep to) of not jumping on Amazon and reviewing something as soon as I've first put it to use, and this purchase is an example of why. Wearing this strap is as amazingly comfortable as I said it was; unfortunately it wasn't until bedtime when I tried to put the watch in my watch winder and found it wouldn't fit that I found what is for me the major downside to this strap.The strap has big hardware on it that is functional and looks cool, but - in addition to arguably looking a little funny jutting out from the sides of a thin wrist - that hardware can prevent your fitting your watch into at least some watch winders at the end of the day. So this strap may not be ideal for automatic watches (which are the only kind I wear anymore). It's definitely not suitable for use with all watch winders. Alas.*Original review*: I received two new watch straps in today's mail, both intended for the same watch (a Seiko 5 Sports SNZG15J1 Automatic), and figured I'd try one strap and then the other to see which I preferred. But as it turns out, the one that isn't this one may be spending rather a while in its package yet because I tried this one first and I love it.It may help this strap's case that the strap that came with my Seiko, in addition to my not thinking it looked awesome, was very stiff and did not soften up much through wear, so it was an easy act for this strap to follow. But in truth I doubt that matters much; this strap is just so insanely comfortable that it would probably make almost any other strap pale in comparison.It arrived packaged with a very nice lug pin removal tool and two replacement pins - very nice. Installation was as simple as removing the pins (which was the hardest part of the operation due to the aforementioned stiffness of the original band - it was difficult to squeeze the strap far enough aside that I could see the pins and access them with the tool - but with a little effort I managed it), putting the pins back in, threading this strap through them and then through its own retainer loops. That done, I put on my watch and was amazed - I'd gotten used to the stock strap and had no idea what I'd been missing all this time in the way of comfort. This strap puts the old one to shame.My only possible issue with it is more a matter of my wrist than of the strap: I have thin little sticks for arms, and chicken wrists, and the hardware on this strap makes it jut out rather a ways from my chicken wrists, which I think looks just a bit awkward maybe - the proportions make the strap look kind of massive to me. But the thing is sooooo comfortable that I don't care all that much (and I think I'm getting used to the look as I go, anyway).Wow. Can't get over it. Who knew a watch strap could be so comfortable??To anyone for whom comfort is a priority (and you may not realize just how much of a priority it is until you try this strap), I highly - nay, *adamantly* - recommend this strap. Wow. =)

Great Fit
It was perfect for my watch. There’s nothing more I could’ve asked for a fit perfect. It fits fine on my wrist. I think it’ll last me a long time.

Slightly too big for a Casio W-800H.
I was hoping to replace my watchband, so I got this one. It's the NATO style and it's made of sturdy nylon. It came with a tool to remove the spring pins and also two pins which were slightly thinner than the original ones my watch came with.Even with the thinner pins, I was not able to thread the wristband through. It is just a tiny bit too big for a Casio W-800H, both in thickness and in width. I tried the alternate technique of laying the wristband on top of the back of the watch, and then inserting the pins. This made for a very tight fit, and when I tried to adjust the wristband to insert the second pin, the first one popped out and ended up across the room.I suggest a magnet when working with fiddly metal things like this.They do make 18 to 22 mm adapters but these cost more than the wristbands!I think this would be a nice wristband if you have a watch that will fit it.

About as nice as it gets for the price ($11 at time of purchase)
I purchased the khaki color with black pvd hardware to match my pvd-coated CWC quartz diver that has fixed spring bars. It looks great on the watch and the material is super comfortable on the wrist. The nylon does have a nice sheen to it as another reviewed mentioned, and a sort-of waffle stitching that adds some texture/dimension to the material. It's quite thick (about twice the thickness of the CWC military-style NATO that came with my watch), so that is something to consider. There are plenty of adjustment holes, but it's not a super-long strap. I have a 6.75" wrist and there is not enough extra strap to fold it back through both keepers, so instead I decided to tuck it the other way underneath. There's probably not going to be enough length to 'lock it in' by threading it back through the last ring unless you have a very small wrist. Just a heads-up as well, there's a lot of 'flex' in the material around where it's locked in to the adjustment hole, so I'm assuming the material will probably wear and fray a little bit in that area. Not a big deal to me as I am going for a rugged military style look with this watch, but that may be a dealbreaker for some ppl that like their strap to look brand new for a long time. This really is a comfortable strap and it has immediately become one of my favorites; I like it so much I'll probably add another in the black color.

Perfect for large wrists
I don't write many reviews but when something works I figured I'd pass on the blessing to us large wristed fellows. I love watches but finding something for a 9-in wrist is nearly impossible. Answer this well made good size NATO strap. Bonuses that I didn't even know came in the package was a spring bar tool and two spring bars. I can fit it very slow or I can open it up so there's plenty of room. And for the money I don't think you're going to find anything comparable.
