Nice but not for long

In general I like the group. It looks great with my Gear S3 and is fairly comfortable, although there are a few spots that irritate my wrist a bit. I had 2 problems with it. I had a very difficult time putting it on at first, partly due to my large hands, but the strap is so tight that it's difficult to squeeze the spring pin enough to snap it into place. The second problem is that I wouldn't call it an extra long streak. It's almost the same length as the strap that came with the S3. I ended…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • So-so

My watch looks so cool and brand new!

Couldn't wait for the band to show up on my watch. I used a paring knife to remove the strap pins and used the same original pins from my watch to install the new strap. This is important to know. Thus, the bracelet fits perfectly on the watch. I am very happy with it and wearing it is much cooler than the old leather.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • alt

Looks good, wears horribly

The seams on the inside of the strap have been heat cut which means the nylon dries to a hard and sharp edge. It rubs my wrist. I would advise anyone to return or not to order this strap for this reason. If you get stuck with that, you can use nail scissors to round off the tips and a nail file to soften the sharp edges. This makes the strap wearable. There is also an issue with the length of the strap. It's too short and too long at the same time. The guards are too close to the buckle so you…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No automatic

Rough watch back

The ends of the strap where it bends near the watch on the back of the strap are hard and rough (see picture). scratched my hand I took some sandpaper and smoothed out those edges and that worked, but you don't have to. Other reviews also mention this problem. The rest of the strap looks gorgeous with quality materials. Update: After a week of wearing I changed the strap and will no longer be using it. I really liked the look, but it is uncomfortable to wear.

Pros
  • Waiting
Cons
  • Modernity

I have a Pebble Time that I wanted to try some alternative tapes on. I've read a lot of positive reviews about NATO straps but wanted a two piece option as I need to charge the watch weekly and didn't want to mess with the strap getting in the way of the charger. On a positive note the strap is comfortable and I like that they include spring pins as the OEM strap is quick release and wouldn't work. It's attractive in an understated look and the hardware is solid and well made. The only…

Pros
  • Big Choices
Cons
  • Disappear

Spiky edges, attaches too tightly to watch face

Very disappointed. The pros are that the orange color is perfect and the metal fittings are beautiful. However, the cons outweigh the cons and I will not use it. It is very scratchy around the edges, irritates my skin and snags on fleece or wool. It's too long, and while it can be cropped, the resulting edge isn't nearly as finished as the original. I couldn't easily use the spring pins that came with it as the strap is very snug on the watch. I can't return it as the only way to attach it was…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Thanks for inserting the pins!

Running, biking and everything else kept my old canvas strap looking pretty chic even after the occasional wash. So it was time for a swap and this deBeer group was a steal! Matches the old band almost perfectly, slightly thinner but just as strong. And thanks for adding the pins; The old group has quick release pins and I needed the normal ones to replace them. Turning it on, I pulled the trigger and it was the right decision. Brilliant.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Weak set

Good watch strap with one fault that can be repaired

This is a decent watch strap that goes very well with a Wenger (Swiss Army) field watch with 22mm lugs. The length is just right for my large wrist and it has plenty of notches for a good fit. The nylon strap is durable and virtually impervious to water and dirt. The buckle and matching hardware are of high quality. It came with two watch pins and was easy to install, although the end of the strap fits the watch lugs fairly snugly. The only downside to this band is that there are some pretty…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • It makes me angry
