Review on HNS Watch Straps Choice Pattern by John Swain

I have Sashiko and they are great especially on my blue face watch. Visually I would give 5 stars. When I first received it, it had a distinct smell resembling a canvas bag. It went away in a day or two. The reason for the three star rating is that this is the least comfortable NATO strap I own and far from it. The seams are very rough and annoying. In the photo, the melted ends of the nylon stitching noticeably protrude from the strap and constantly dig into the wrist. I managed to trim them a bit and it helped.
