RitcheMilitary Ballistic Nylon Watch Strap with Heavy Buckle 18mm 20mm 22mm Premium Nylon Watch Bands for Men Women

I really like this NATO type strap and it looks great on my old LL Bean automatic field watch. Although I have only been wearing it for two days, the strap seems to be high quality nylon, the hardware is solid, and it securely holds the watch. Will look to this company again when it is time to get a new one.

Easy to size, for a great fit. Definite buy for other watches.

Me have big wrist, old walmart Timex watch look good. Watch now wearing seat belt, ready for good car crash. Must bathe in sawdust on jobsite, will smell very good after many sweats. Will update life of watch after loving wife beats me with overpriced watch band. Estimate metal buckles will leave marks on face to match bad farmer’s tan. Would buy again, 10/10.

perfect watch band for men with larger diameter wrists

Best quality of this kind of watch strap I have found.This blue color fits the blue-faced Seiko 5 SRPD51 nicely.

Wear this on my Seiko daily. Easy to clean, easy to use, adjustable NATO style strap. Good quality, and lightweight, waterproof.

First off, depending on how you wear this, it either works or it doesn't. I will describe the two methods and explain. In this review I am referring to the Army Green/Khaki bundle. I have a 7" wrist, which I assume is fairly average.Method 1: This band is built like a "5 ring" strap. The proper way to wear a 5 ring strap is to loop the main strap through both links and then back through the top link (see my pictures). The reason for this is to remove all tension from the main band so if it gets snagged, the spring bars do not have any pressure put on them. There are many topics online that describe the benefits and purpose for this in detail. This is the main reason I bought these straps and this is unfortunately not what they are designed for even though that is what they are styled after. If you wear them this way, there is naturally less band length to work with and I found myself using the very widest/last hole on the band. 1/5 stars since the band length is not designed to match the 5 ring technique that they designed for. The band is uncomfortable using this method but that may be different depending on your wrist.Method 2: This method is how you would wear the band if it was a "Standard Nato" with only 4 rings. In this method, you would simply loop the main strap through the rings and then buckle it (see my pictures). This is how the advertised pictures show the bands, and this way the strap fits as intended. Unfortunately, this defeats the purpose of having the extra ring and makes the band unnecessarily clunky. 4/5 stars since the extra ring doesn't serve a purpose. The band is comfortable this way, but is less safe because of the pressure on the spring bars.In conclusion, if you are looking for a 5 ring band that is functional and will protect your watch, this is NOT the band for you. However, if you are looking for a traditional Nato strap and don't mind the extra ring, then these bands work great. They are comfortable, easy to swap out, and look very nice. The material will take some time to break in and loosen up so keep that in mind. The matte brushed steel is a nice touch and matches my watch very well.I bought this specifically for my Timex Expedition, which I am using as a beater watch for rugged activities. I've added a picture with the Army Green strap, but both colors work very well with the watch. I will be happy to answer any additional questions on my review or the product itself.

This has served me well for years now. I’ve had it on the same watch that’s been with me on many trips in the jungle. Durable, comfortable, I highly recommend it.
