O**N
Very good value for money and is exactly what its described as.
Metal work is PVD coated and the keepers are the flat sided type (rather than the rounded side type - a style issue only and I prefer this type). The buckle is unbranded, but is matte while the keepers are slightly glossy. Heat sealing / finishing of holes and strap end is neat / good. Length from buckle pin to last hole is 23cm (14.5cm to first hole and with a small 16cm wrist, I am on hole 5 and the excess strap still fits between both keepers). Being nylon, the strap is stiffer and shinier than the canvas/material ones I own. It also feels rougher to the touch, but not when on the wrist, where it is as comfortable as any I have had (I fit all my daily wear (work) & sport watches with NATO straps for comfort and durability).Its a nice looking and well made strap and is cheaper that its canvas counterparts. It wont show dirt or bobble like its canvas counterparts either and will be good in wet / challenging / dirty environments and easy to clean. Nor is my wrist sweaty due to the nylon (I had thought this might be a downside compared to canvas).I dont expect the PVD coating to stay on (note PVD coatings do chip and scratch), but INFANTRY dont claim PVD was designed by NASA and used on the Space Shuttle (as others do) - good for them.

Military style band
Bought to replace the band on my new and the two go very well together. This band is based on the British Army G10 or NATO watch band. Made from nylon webbing the band is light and relatively comfortable, although it takes some wearing before it breaks down and conforms to the contours of your wrist. The principle is that the band threads behind both bars of your watch in an unbroken loop so if one of the pins breaks, the other will keep your watch securely attached to your wrist (unlike conventional, 2-piece watch bands).While the band is plenty long enough for all normal wrists, the buckle end is a little short, which puts the buckle on the side of my wrist rather than the underside. This isn't a problem, but it feeels a little odd to begin with.OK, so this isn't exactly compatible with smart evening dress and a £3000 Rolex, but it's a well tested, adaptable and robust, workaday watch band with a military look.

Falls off
I've worn this strap twice and then took it off and never used it again in six years.I put it on an expensive SlowJo watch and each time I wore it the prong went sideways and round to the wrong side of the frame causing the watch to fall off. The first time this happened I was at home but the second time I was at a friend's house and I had to search around looking for it before it was trodden on. I haven't had confidence in it to use again. I should have sent it back at the time as now it's just taking up space in a drawer.I got an official replacement strap from Slow instead and it's outstanding.

Decent Nato.....
A decent and cheap Nato strap. It does the job and is very comfortable on the wrist.My watch lugs were 19mm but this 20mm comfortably fits and provides a nice retro nato look on a Seiko diver.Also very quick to change if you want to change colours and look of the watch.You can buy more expensive ones but not sure why? I'd definitely buy again if I fancy a colour change.

Tough, durable easy to fit.
Very good watch strap. Well made and should last a few years. Only one small comment, and this is my personal view, the buckle to fasten securely on the wrist, could do to be a little further away from the watch attachment so it fastens central to the front/rear of wrist. Mine is currently just below the wrist bone.Apart from that, great value, and would certainly have another, and reccomend.
