Da LucaTwo Piece Ballistic Nylon Watch Strap - Grey (PVD Buckle) : 26mm

This band is worth every dollar that I paid for it. Does not stretch when wet or dry. Stays tight when on, no slipping around. The size adjustment holes are plenty and will fit most any size wrist. The color I choose is awesome. Best watch band I have ever owned. I needed a wide band size for my type of watch and glad I found this one!

I don't often leave reviews for products, but I felt this warranted one. I was excited to get the NATO style watch band that I could put on my Apple Watch. Got it yesterday, installed the little adapter I'd gotten for the Apple Watch, put on the band and it was absolutely awful. On the piece with the buckle and strap loops, the stitching on the inside is hard, raised, and sharp. I put the watch on and it literally scratched my arm as I wore it.

High quality strap and buckle.

I have owned three Da Luca two-piece watch straps: 24 mm black, 24 mm Goldfinger Bond and 22 mm Goldfinger Bond. The black one and the 24 mm Bond are great. The nylon is folded over straight, the sew lines are straight and the colors of the Bond strap are vibrant and true to the original. The 22 mm Bond strap is a different story. The nylon is folded over at an angle on both strap ends where they attach to the watch. This causes the folded over portion to stick out the side of each strap end. Also, the sewing over both of these areas is not straight and instead crosses the strap width at an angle. Like my other Bond strap, the colors are vibrant and the strap looks great on my watch. However, if I wanted the quality of a $10.00 watch strap I would have purchased a $10.00 watch strap instead of this $29.99 Da Luca. Watches and watch straps are relatively small so small details like these matter.

The band is a bit stiff at first but loosens up after wearing it for a week or two. The color has stayed a deep brown and is very sturdy and nice band. Using it for my Fenix 3 HR (pretty heavy watch) and has been a great fit so far. Previously I bought a leather strap that lasted only a few months, overall very happy with my purchase.

My DaLuca 2-piece Nato bands for another watch are great, and the webbing on those is very sturdy. This 2-piece band fits my watch well, but the webbing is pretty thin and flimsy. The 140mm/80mm size is a little short for me too.

I wanted a NATO style watch strap on one of my watches with a museum back but did NOT want to cover the back up. This isn't REALLY a NATO strap (doesn't have the continuous piece of material that protects against watch loss if a pin breaks) but looks like one and leaves the back of the watch uncovered.Nice quality and look. Makes my Glycine Double 24 rank higher on my daily wear list.

I bought this and instantly regretted it when I pulled it from the package. I tried to put it on my watch anyway just to try it out and couldn't because it has no attaching mechanism
