Benchmark BasicsBenchmark Nylon Watch Band - Waterproof Ballistic Nylon One-Piece Military Watch Straps for Men & Women - Choice of Color & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm

NATO straps are military straps. They're supposed to be extra long to accommodate wear over large and bulky apparel. Over a flight suit or wet suit, for instance. The purpose of the keeper rings on the top of the strap is to contain the extra strap material when all of its length is not being utilized. This is done by threading the extra length of strap through the keeper rings, folding it, and tucking the excess beneath itself. That's how a NATO strap works. This product is called a NATO strap, but it doesn't have any excess length. The strap is barely long enough to thread through both keeper rings. There is no extra length to fold and tuck, which basically makes this strap a normal webbed strap with NATO-style hardware. Since it looks like a NATO strap but serves none of a NATO-strap's intended purpose, it would be more accurate to call it a "NATO-style Strap" or words to that effect.

This strap started fraying almost immediately. The photos show the strap (orange) after just seven days’ worth of light-duty wear. The holes started fraying very quickly, and the end of the strap is also showing wear. As comparison, the blue-gray strap was a similarly priced entry-level strap from Crown & Buckle that I’ve had for over a year, and which has seen lots of hard duty. Kind of a joke how little wear the C&B strap shows, versus the Benchmark strap, which is falling apart. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!Also, as noted by many, the length is fairly short. I have only a 7” wrist, and barely had any tail left to tuck into the keeper, if that’s important to you.

This is the second time I've purchased these on Amazon - with the description stating they were a longer version. They are too short for my very common (male) wrist size. I have to use the 3rd from last hole, which only allows a very small portion to fit in the keeper, and the buckle to be towards the side of my wrist. My wrists are not unusually large; but normal size.

Strap is about 3” too short. The end won’t go around the buckles like it should; it just passes underneath. The buckles are extremely tall and square. They constantly get in the way and won’t lay flat as intended. I suspect this is more of a “fashion” watch band than a NATO strap. The idea is that having extra length will allow the watch to be worn on the outside of gloves, jackets, etc. The strap should go through, around, and back through the buckles to contain the extra length and that’s not what you get here. Get one from wristcandy for just a few dollars more. I was impatient and wasted my money.

Strap is Perfect, I put in on the Invicta 8926OB Pro Diver watch. It looks just like the Bond watch. The strap seems relatively thick and well made, no frays yet. Glad it came with the spring bar tool. The strap is pretty long, and I'll probably cut it using the 2 nickel method, but right now it tucks back in and doesn't look bad at all. Great purchase, highly recommend

This replaces the original band of my valued old Timex. It's not perfect, but this band fits the Timex and my scrawny wrist about as well as I could hope for. Before I ordered it, I could not understand for certain (from the images on the display page) how this band is supposed to fit on a watch. But I decided to take a chance, and it paid off. However, I recommend that the seller try to illustrate a little more clearly how the band should fit onto a watch.

This must be for a specific brand of watch because the band is too thick to fit under the pins which hold it in place. I have now ides how to use the extra part of the strap which is attached. Unless you know specifically that this band will fit your watch, don't waste your money.

Not a fan of leather or plastic watch bands; have preferred Velcro wrap bands. But needed a replacement for an old one and could not find one I liked. Went with the Benchmark gray-and-black band, and am very happy with it. There are less costly NATO-style bands but this strap is well made and the pin tool is useful. I ordered a less-expensive another band in a different color but the metal clasp and guides are not as solid as the Benchmark. Note: Be sure to measure the distance for the pins.

Me gustó mucho y le quedó de lujo a mi Casi Maril Duro.

Incluye la herramienta para cambiar las barras, la correa se siente algo rígida y áspera al principio

Excelente producto
