Review on Military Style Ballistic Nylon Watch Men's Watches by Nguyen Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Non-NATO watch strap

I already have a Swiss Army strap with a 20mm titanium strap and wanted to try the nylon strap. I bought a stainless steel Seiko SNK793K which requires an 18mm wide strap (colleagues told me it was too narrow to be a real men's watch; whatever =P). Looking through it, I wasn't sure if I wanted to match the stainless steel case, so I opted for the black strap, thinking it would have a classic look with the navy blue dial/Seiko dial. This item is actually a Zulu watch strap and not a NATO. Zulu has 3 ring frames including eyelet buckle. Instead, the NATO has 4 rectangular rings including the buckle. I have a feeling that Zulu looks more casual than NATO, similar to how round eye frames look more casual than rectangular ones. I am very happy with my purchase and the nylon strap keeps the sweat off my wrist better than the original metal strap during the summer months.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
