Pros and Cons
On the positive - this is definitely the most comfortable watch strap I have ever had, and it looks good as well.On the negative - the material is quite delicate (whatever the Company says) and is prone to stretching both where the point of the clasp goes through the hole, leaving a 'bump' in the webbing, and in the hole itself - which then becomes elliptical.Comparing this strap to a Zuludiver which it replaced, the Zuludiver is both much stronger and much cheaper. I could only, therefore, recommend the current 'Seatbelt Weaved Strap' to someone if ultimate comfort was their absolute priority.Update March 2019: My original review was, I feel pretty accurate - but I have downgraded my rating from 3 to 2 stars as, after some 10 months, the strap has started to fray. It has been worn every day, but otherwise not been 'abused' in any way.

Very comfortable but with some limitations
I can understand why people like this strap but it isn't to my taste. It is indeed very soft and comfortable but that softness comes at the expense of robustness. I have it fitted to a small, men's, 1930's watch that is extremely light but even so the claw buckle fastening stretches out the fastening hole and makes it look as though it is failing and/or that the buckle might come undone if you don't wear it tight enough. I also find that for me, with a medium sized wrist, the strap is quite long and it's difficult to securely fasten that extra length out of the way without it coming loose and flapping around again. In terms of appearance this is entirely subjective. For me I prefer the look of a leather strap.One big advantage of this strap is that it is washable. I washed mine in a delicates program in the machine with a woolen sweater and it came out looking fine. If you will be wearing this while labouring or doing sport then for this reason this may be a good choice if you can somehow stop the loose end from flapping around. There really isn't anything else quite like this on the market so I think it's safe to recommend if you like the style and can live with these limitations.

Really good strap
This is a great productIt is a high quality product. I can say that as I have more NATO watch straps than I care to disclose. It is soft & very comfortable to wear. Another thing the holes have not stretched like some other similar type watch straps.I liked it that much I bought another one. The James Bond version.They both make the watches look in a different class.I hope they bring out an 18mm version

Rather Flimsy
Initial impressions only as I've only had this for a short time. Therefore, no real comments to make re durability, etc.As described, this NATO strap is made from the same fabric used for car sealbelts - but it's much less substantial. Of course, the strap has to fit easily between the spring bars and the watch itself. But the guage of material should be higher.The result of this is that the watch rather hangs from the wrist unless fitted very neatly. It's also quite glossy, giving it a cheap look.That said, it's admittedly of stylish design, colour as described and the hardware is of a high standard. But the flimsy nature of the strap lets it down. I've had much more robust and effective NATO straps at a lesser cost.Might suit a smaller watch, but not really ideal for a diver, or other chunky tool timepieces.

Strap material not durable
Material of strap, even when worn loose is not durable enough. Bought to replace original Traser strap, which after 3 years constant wear is in better condition than the Archer after 17 days.

An Impressive NATO Strap.
Although expensive, due to it's 'seat belt' material, and the perceived quality of construction, this NATO strap is very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.With it's black hard ware this 'Bond' strap looks smart, and has a generous length of 11".Highly recommended.

Feedback Archer Watch Straps - ordered on the 27.1.18
Hello,I have ordered the strap last week and I am using it since Monday morning on a Seiko Diver's Watch. The quality of the strap does not meet my expectations. Please take a look at the pictures.The terminology “Heavy Duty” is exaggerated as the material is rather thin. It is already fraying/tearing around 2 holes.I do not fasten the watch firmly around my wrist, hence there is no reason for the material to give way like this.I would not recommend this specific strap.Best regardsChristophe

Total rubbish
Absolute rubbish so dont waste your money, the one that I received was worth no more than two quid and the price was £16.99, absolute rip off, if I could give zero star rating then I would, avoid these people like the plague.
