RitcheNATO Watch Strap with Heavy Buckle 18mm 20mm 22mm Seat Belt Nylon Watch Bands for Men Women

Looks great

The band was a little long for my use.

I have a small collection of vintage watches and started looking for watch bands that I could swap out from time to time. I really like the Zulu 5 band style, but gave up on trying to find one that was long enough to lace it properly. I have a 7&1/4" wrist and every one I tried was too short. They need to be approximately 11.5" to fit me.After some trial and error I found these NATO style bands. My criteria is a band that can go from business casual to trail. It has to be attractive, durable and comfortable. This one fits the bill. It's made from quality materials with quality construction. Stitching is nicely done and the material is nicely finished. It is almost silky comfortable on the wrist. In fact, it's one of the most comfortable watch bands that I have ever used. There is just enough slack on the tag end of the band to slip it through both loops without having to fold it and tuck it under the last loop. If you are one of those folks that likes to wear it with the tag end folded, you might be able to do it, but it may take a bit of effort and really isn't needed in my experience.You can identify a quality band pretty quick just by looking at it. If the buckle is pinned on with a spring bar, that's an automatic fail. It's a single point of failure just like the typical two piece watch band. If the buckle prong and band holes are not the same shape i.e round prong/round holes, rectangular prong/rectangular holes, that's an automatic fail. If these do not match, the holes in the band will just stretch out eventually and look bad.Since I've written this review, I've ordered 3 more of these in different colors and will probably order more if/when other patterns become available in the 18mm width. I would certainly purchase this again and recommend it.

Nice looking band that should last a lifetime. The plastic bands that come with most Casio and Timex similar watches have a short life span.

More challenging to install on the g shock watch.Ended up installing it instead on my waveceptor.Even then not so easy. But it looks good and is made well. Looks good on the watch, better than the original band.
