Love the color, build and quality. The army green NATO goes with everything but love it with my green face and black bezel Tissot. I like the quality and look of the band so much I bought 2 more colors. NATO bands are practical, extra comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

I've gone through a few straps to find a perfect match for my Islander Mitchel #ISL-82 (an automatic field watch with black DLC finish - highly recommended). The one I liked best was an SF1 from Cincy Strap Co, but I got it in OD green which kind of dresses the watch down. I wanted to try a black strap to see if it would have less of that effect. The Annefit was appealing because appeared to have the same ribbed texture as the Cincy.The Annefit appears to be exactly what I was hoping for. It looks perfect with the black Islander, and I think it can pass as a little more formal than the OD green. It fits my wrist nicely (which is around 7.4" to 7.5"). The texture is very similar to the Cincy, but slightly more rigid and less elastic. The nylon feels very durable and comfortable on the wrist. The hardware seems solid, and has a nice squared-off shape. The buckle and keepers are a bit larger and more pronounced than on the Cincy.I modified the Annefit in two ways. I cut off the second piece of nylon to make it a single-pass NATO. I also cut out the stitching behind the first keeper (the one closest to the buckle) so that it can slide closer to the second keeper - this helps to accommodate excess strap.

Looks great on my Eco-Drive Promaster dive watch. It's a neutral grey, without the blue tint that is common on many Natos. If they called this "sharkskin grey" it would be an apt description. See the pictures.A few observations:The weave is similar to other straps I've seen at over twice the price! The material is thin though, and slightly stiff (maybe from the weave?) It holds the Promaster firmly, but I don't think I'd want to use it on a heavier watch.Despite the fabric not being very soft to the touch, the strap is comfortable on the wrist. I think the rolled-over edges help, as some other Natos feel harsh along the edge.The strap is just long enough for my 7.25-inch wrist, and there is about 3/8" of material at the end to fold over into the keeper strap. I'd have preferred it to be slightly longer. This might work over a wetsuit but only if you don't use the keepers.It came with a mini tool for the strap pins, and 4 pins. Nice! However, the quality of the pins is not great, and one of the pins I used on the watch makes a clicking sound like it's not firmly seated. I'll swap it for another in the pack - glad they included extras.Overall it seems to be a very good strap especially at this price point. If it wears down after a year or so I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Excellent strap especially for the price! Exactly what I hoped for! I wish there was more variety of patterns. But very happy with this strap.

I've had this band for a while now. Let's start off with the good qualities. The hardware is real high, decent quality metal. It's lightweight, and, as any NATO band should be, easy to install, even on my Casio W217h.Now, onto the bad. With lots of wearing comes lots of washing, and with all the time I've used it, it still hasn't gotten any softer. It's quite rough, as well, and the webbing came undone on the corner of the tip. Fortunately, though, this was fixed with a little bit of heat to stop it from fraying, but it's still an issue nonetheless.It came with the tools in the listing, the spring bars and tool, which make this worth it if you don't particularly care about a soft and pliable band. It'll do what you want it to, and probably more. Make sure to wash it if you wear it often, or else it'll stink.

This is a very nice strap. Well sized (plenty long for me to tuck), and durable.

Excellent band, works well with my watch and highlights the colors of my watch.

This nylon watch band is the best one I have ever had and that's a lot! It is definitely the most well made with solid hardware, finished sides, proper length, enough holes and great color. Given the quality, I may not need another band for a few years! Seriously. Meanwhile, I'll get another one just because.
