deBeer Watch Bands - Ballistic Nylon Military MoD Style Watch Straps - Choice of Colorand Width (16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm or 22mm)

This band fits the J. Crew Military Timex watch perfectly, although I lost the watch! Never fear, I simply ordered a Timex T2N639 tachymeter Weekender (which is sturdier and looks heftier than other Weekenders, and has an 18mm lug) and popped this band on......and it looks great!I actually received compliments from a friend wearing a J. Crew Timex Military watch with the included J. Crew nylon NATO-style band, and has to confess that no, my watch was not the 'upgraded' version of his, but rather two actually CHEAPER pieces (strap and timepiece) that I got on Amazon!The package arrived promptly two days, early morning after ordering Prime and was in even better condition than some of the store-bought Weekender straps I picked up at Target.A few things:- This IS a NATO-style strap, meaning is has the extra length of nylon and brushed steel loop that 'locks' the timepiece in place once threaded through. This is nicer than the 'pass-through' shorter style of the Weekender 20mm interchangeable bands you can find for $7 at Target.- The quality is somewhere in the middle. I submerged this (and my watch, obviously) for a few hours at the pool the other day and the band stood up superbly, remaining relatively dry and slick without getting weighed down or wearing from being waterlogged and dried. Even so, comparing it to an 'OEM' J. Crew band, the clasp holes are noticeably being stressed a bit by the hardware when the watch is worn. The knit of the nylon is pretty tight -- much better than the Weekender bands, which appear to 'catch' and 'drag' the holes with a weak knit -- but not quite as good as its $20 counterparts at J. Crew. Even so, this design/color is better than any offered at the store (if you can even find them!) and is cheaper to boot.Basically, I love this product. After blowing $25 on a handful of different-colored Weekender pass-through straps at Target, I'm happy to have the one and only band I actually need/wanted for my Timex; and this is it.

I bought this strap to go with my Seiko 5 automatic watch. I wasn't a huge fan of the tan straps it came with, so I wanted to get something with more color.This strap is awesome. I've had it for 6 months now, and it's holding up great. The nylon is comfortable, seems durable, and holds the watch well. I think the colors in the photo are accurate to what you receive. Personally I think the navy and red goes well with a lot of outfits.Pros:- Good color- Holds your watch securely. There's no chance this will come undone from your wrist or the watch (say compared to the two-piece straps in which the spring can pop out of the watch and your watch will get busted).- Durable, rugged- ComfortableCons:- All I can think of is if you have an automatic watch and are a fan of seeing its workings on the backside of the watch, you cannot see this with your NATO watch strap for the way it loops in there, it covers the back.Highly recommend this strap at the $10 price point. Great way to basically give yourself a completely different looking watch for cheap.

Good quality nylon military band. A s they go, NATO bands are probably the safest, most comfortable, hygienic bands you can put on your watch. They don't collect grime, the back of your watch doesn't make contact with your skin, preserving it and preventing sweat or smell; water doesn't damage them and they can be washed. Easy to install, and if a lug breaks your valuable watch still hangs by the other one. They look good on both your Rolex and your Timex, they are simply timeless and classic.The olive/black looks great on my Hamilton Khaki which has a black dial. Works great with light dials too, the olive matches just fine with white, black, brown, yellowish/gold; any dial color really; and can replace a black or brown band. I suspect it wouldn't look bad on a golden cased watch either.This band fits my average wrist perfectly, with a couple of holes on the thin side and plenty left for thicker wrists. I wish they were stitched instead of glued at the rings and buckle, but I'll wait and see how durable they are before criticizing this aspect. They're not branded anywhere, they come in a ziploc bag with lugs included. Rather nondescript but I'm not that much of a brand snob. if it's good it's good.

This was pretty easy to install, although it did not come with the spring-pins, which I thought they said would come with it. That's fine, my watch had brand new spring-pins already. This band loops over / under the spring pins, which makes me feel like the band is more secure. It looks very handsome with my inexpensive black-middle Citizen. Because I've never installed one before, I did need to watch a youtube video first. It took about four minutes on my first try. You will likely need a Fine Spring Bar Tool to pop the pins out of your watch if your watch band is actually attached to the spring bars. It is easy to wash; I wash it gently with small alcohol wipes just to do a basic disinfect. I've been wearing it for a few weeks now, and though I am not complaining, I notice that the band is starting to show wear and tear. I don't dig trenches, but things constantly brush up against the band. But for ten dollars or so, I think it is alright if it shows wear after taking a beating every day. I will certainly buy more of theses. They look very handsome with my watch and they look way less boring than basic link bands (which pinch hairs)--and it is extremely comfortable. (Note: it was not 23.00 when I originally purchased it!)
