Carty Military Nylon Strap 6 Packs 18mm 20mm 22mm Watch Band Nylon Replacement Watch Straps for Men Women

This is a second attempt at writing this review. Initially I included a link to an article on different ways to wear a Nato Watch Strap, but I am told links are not allowed! I love these straps. I bought a Luminox watch from Amazon and it came with a rather bulky rubber diver-like band. I have a small wrist (little over 7") and with the OEM band, the watch seldom remained centered on my wrist and the buckle always was at the side of my wrist. I decided to try a Nato Watch Strap and chose Carty because of the great price -- six different straps, delivered, tax included for under $20. And, I might add, that included a spring pin removal tool and four 22mm replacement pins! Simply remove the OEM band and replace the spring pins. Then install the Nato Strap of your choice (takes less than a minute) and you are ready to go. DO NOT believe other reviews complaining about the dimensions of the straps and the inability to wear them centered on your wrist! The key is to do some research on how to install a Nato strap and use the method that best suits your wrist size. Unfortunately, Carty only shows one method (double loop). I found that the single loop method was perfect for my wrist size -- see my photos! I've also included a photo showing some alternate methods. The bands are comfortable, seem to he well made and IMO look great! UPDATE:. I have now worn my watch for six months using just one of these bands. I have used it under all kinds of conditions including swimming in fresh and salt water, oceans and pools. The band looks the same as it fid on day #1!!!

These nato straps are an unbelievably good deal, I mean it's practically theft - that's how good of a deal it is. Quality wise and looks wise, these straps are about average. They'll never leave you stranded and look acceptable along the way. But I have to reiterate that for the price, that is unbelievable. My two biggest gripes are the texture and the coloring of the straps. The texture is rough, there's no other way about it, it definitely feels like a seat belt strap and it might be itchy if you're sensitive. I personally prefer this because I go rock climbing with this strap and the rough texture stops it from fraying on jagged edges. The last thing is color, this is a huge deal to me and it makes or breaks the straps in my opinion. It definitely breaks it for these straps. I ordered the variety pack per se (the one with two bond straps and the uncle Sam special) and frankly I'm somewhat disappointed with the inking. The colors are incredibly basic, bright, and overly saturated, the only watches I can imagine this matching are neon colored G Shocks and, oddly enough, my Seagull 1963, somehow. If they could maybe turn down the saturation and darken the palettes to match the usual watches these get paired with, it would be a grand slam and I wouldn't have a reason to buy any other brand. But for the functionality and the price point I can't hold that against them, highly recommended.

If you think you're getting amazing quality straps for less than $3 each -- you're not. What you're getting is an assortment of decent straps to test drive. In my case, I wasn't sure what color would work well with my watch (I had an idea from videos and pictures of my watch with straps, but it's never the same as in person), so this cheap pack of various colors is absolutely perfect for me. The quality is not terrible, but they clearly won't last. I wore my first one today and after taking my watch on and off a few times there's already slight fraying on the end of the strap and in one of the holes I'm using for the buckle. Aside from that -- they look great and fairly comfortable (not the softest, but... this is cheap nylon, what can you expect).

Have been rotating through theses straps for years now and they all have held up well.

I bought this band along with another for a field watch I have had for many years. The leather band was looking rather worn so I was looking for some NATO watch bands to add a little more life, color and versatility to the watch without breaking the bank and still maintaining a sense of utility and practicality. The straps are well made and durable. The colors add a little fun and the price point allows you to buy multiple bands for different looks or occasions. Will be buying more.

I love to rock the NATO strap. I also am the kind of person that can swap out a band every single day. I wear a watch for something different. For the price point these are an option to add additional colors and options to your wristwatch closet. My daily watch is a Seiko 5 Sport and these are perfect for it. I do see a little wear and tear with the tightening holes over time though. In my video, you can see where they are a little frayed on the most used holes.

These straps are cool, and they are decently priced. However, they are also not the same quality as the straps which come with the watch(es). The rings are not the same gauge, and the straps feel cheap. This is simply a case of getting what you pay for. If you are after the real deal, take a bit more time to parse through all the choices on Amazon and you will find better made bands. You might not find them in a colorful assortment group like this offer, so use your own judgement. I've had four of these Russian watches and by now I'm pretty sure these bands will outlast the timepiece....

Excellent straps. Extremely easy to use. Came with a cool little canvas bag along with some extra spring bars AND a cool little watch tool. Everything you will need is included. It took me 30 seconds to take the old bracelets off, maybe another minute or so to put the spring bars back on and voila! You can really change the whole look of your watch/collection in seconds. My Orient Mako looks just as awesome (if not better) with a solid black strap as it does with the metal bracelet it came on. I think the black bezel and black strap work really well together. I also swapped out an old metal bracelet off of an old Tag and put it on this cool green strap and immediately gave it a field watch look. I find myself looking for an excuse to wear it now. My Seiko skx007 has the whole James Bond thing going with the black and grey strap and I gotta say, it looks pretty awesome. It's definitely an improvement from the black rubber strap it came on. I will definitely buy more. I have a few casios that I will certainly be playing with to see if any of these straps fit. I am very satisfied👍👍👍👍
