Review on πŸ•’ Master the Look: Classic NATO Style Watchband by Benchmark Basics by Keith Morris

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The best among men is not 5 NATO rings.

Apparently I didn't look closely. It's 3 NATO rings not 5. I added another one so it's the correct 5 NATO ring now. The color is good, comfort will be in a few days. I also wish it was longer. Let's say 11.5 inches would be great, and any excess can be trimmed off later. Like most NATO leather straps, they will stretch and thin over time. Also, I really like 5-ring NATO straps, be it leather, nylon, or canvas. i like the feeling Metal straps cannot handle sand and dirt outdoors. As soon as sand gets between the links they start rattling unless you have an amazing band that can handle outdoor activities. Points/stars because leather wears out faster and needs to be replaced sooner, but on the plus side it looks and feels good.

Pros
  • CRAZY HORSE LEATHER - Oil tanned leather is impregnated with waxes and oils to give each watch strap a unique hue. Leather will soften over time and develop a rich patina with wear. As with all leather products, color may vary from bracelet to bracelet. The skin is 1.4-1.6mm thick to fit between the spring bars. Due to the thickness, there may be some stretch when wearing.
Cons
  • Negative is available
