HNS Watch Bands - Choice of Pattern & Width (18mm, 20mm, 22mm) - Ballistic Premium Nylon Watch Straps

Nice quality. It even washes well when it gets a little dirty. Love the flamingo pattern. Works well with my timex watch. Could be a tad cheaper.

This is the most narrow I could find, I had to work it thru the watch- kind of tight! But it looks great, and covers the back of the watch- for comfort. I have a small wrist, but there are plenty of holes to use and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to cut another.It was a Tough decision- every band this seller offers stunned me how pretty and stylish they are! I may just get a few more, and match my wardrobe!

Alright, I bought one of these in 22mm, the green one with pugs. Its very cheap. The exposed edges, like in the holes and the end of the strap are white plastic, which I colored in with a sharpie. The band itself looks pretty nice, its soft and pliable. I've seen other people complain that the hardware is cheap. It seems fine to me, maybe I'm just used to cheap hardware. Its also a really nice length, Its longer than standard.If you want an exotic, patterned watch band, its pretty good, but I'm not sure it would be worth having like 6 of them at $17 a pop.

This watch band has the colors and pattern that appealed to me as a replacement for the old original band on my watch. Unfortunately, despite experimenting with ways to attach it with its extra strap and metal loop, it made the watch itself bulge and couldn't be modified for my use. Fortunately, the seller/Amazon were gracious with prompt return arrangements. Wish they made the earlier style of band with attractive pattern.

I generally buy NATO straps for sport watches. For a blue, vintage Tressa, only NATO straps offered the kind of color choices I was looking for.These HNS straps offer a lot of different colors and styles to choose from but only in the most popular sizes - no 17mm or 19mm. The straps themselves are your typical reinforced nylon material. They have good hardware with a signed buckle and two keepers. All are stainless and seem sturdy enough for the job at hand.Of all the colors and patterns, I chose the blue strap with anchors - a nautical theme that goes well with the watch itself. There are tartans, paisleys, stripes, flowers...there's like three dozen choices! Although these are not the cheapest, if you're looking for a NATO strap that reflects more than just pure utility, this is a good choice.

At or around $20, I find these comparable to bands nearly half the price of this. For one, the nylon is not the most comfortable. It isn't very stretchy, making it unideal for long use and activity. It can be somewhat scratchy to the touch. It does an okay but not especially great job of preventing slipping around the wrist. The way the band is designed, most of the material is on the buckle side. On my wrist it looks fine with the watch I use, but it can feel a little off center. It flattens the watch face on top of the flat part of my wrist, so I don't mind it much. Especially on smaller watch faces, it can look a little goofy, especially because there is only one ring on the opposite side. I would've appreciated one more ring on the sparse side even if only for vanity aesthetics, but I think its warranted at this price. Otherwise, aesthetics are certainly this band's strong suit. The variety of colorful and interesting prints is good for a variety of watches. I got one with lots of circles, so it can look a bit odd against the horizontal nylon pattern, but it's not super noticeable after a while. I liken the overall feel to a premium bandaid, the ones we got as kids that had fun prints on them. But at this price, I don't think even the best bandaid is a positive comparison in terms of comfort. The metal pieces are okay but not confidence-inspiring. Like the prints, they look good; mine was rose gold, matches well to both matte and glossy watch faces, and may even be a little more saturated than most. That being said, it's more form over function because they're not as solidly constructed as the metal on your default strap. In a vacuum, I might not care because the prints are generally pretty clean and the clasps emulate watch aesthetic. But for the money, I don't have a ton of tolerance for the quality many cheaper options still manage. To be nearly the same or even slightly worse in terms of materials is disappointing, though not unforgivable given the aesthetic emphasis of this product. Maintains the aesthetic of expensive watches while adding some charm, albeit while not maintaining the feel of expensive watches.

I have been wearing this over a month. I tried two other straps and this is the first one that was the actual width listed. It is so flexible and comfortable I forget I am wearing it. I live in the high desert southwest in Arizona and I sweat a bit and this has remained comfortable in both the desert heat and the hard summer rain (monsoon season). The design is crisp and surprisingly clear, much more that in the pictures even. So overall this seems a well made product. As with any other review I write, I will alter if anything changes.

let's start with the good: I love the pattern and it looks great! Now that that's done with here are the things that give this 1 star:1. The hardware is clearly cheap, they claim it's high quality steel, and that may be true but it's still small, cheaply polished and thinner than I've seen 2. The holes aren't melted to prevent fraying3. the stitching isn't straight and isn't stitched all the way across to provide strength4. the weave is also pretty cheap. Not a thick weave, pretty thin.Clearly there is some quality control issues (like the crooked stitches) and clearly there are general quality issues.I would search elsewhere for a NATO
