Great, functional and good looking strap - This has truly been a strap for me and I wear it constantly. The strap is easy to keep clean and seems to keep its appearance good. It looks great with my Longines Legend Diver.

Good quality rubber, bad fit - This doesn't fit like a traditional NATO, at least to me. For one, the band seems shorter, and I have a smaller wrist than most. Second, the buckle (or "keeper") closest to 12 o'clock when wearing the watch does not allow you to tuck and store the excess rubber material like a standard NATO. It looks funky without being able to tuck this extra rubber. Any insight/help and I'll gladly update my review!

Great if you have no sense of smell - The quality of this strap is great. I want to love it, I really do. The issue is the thing smells SO BAD I simply can not wear it. This isn't a minor annoyance odor, this is a headache/nausea inducing stench. As I'm sitting here typing this I'm remembering the smell and starting to get sick. I thought I could get rid of it by leaving it to outgas in the sun... TWO SOLID WEEKS in the Florida sun, left hanging outside every night as well... no impact. It's actually impressive, what has been created here. As for the reviewers talking about its pleasant vanilla aroma, more power to you. But if I were you I'd immediately have my house checked for unsafe leaks/poisonous gases/etc because with an olfactory sense like that you could be in danger on the daily. Long story short, this thing is unwearable. And it wasn't cheap. Looks nice though.

Great strap but can’t wear it - Would love to use this as my regular strap but I just can’t get past the smell of cheap vanilla and there seems to be no way of getting rid of it

Perfect watch band! - If you like the style of a NATO band on your watch, you will love this one. The rubber is 10 times more comfortable than the traditional nylon style. I own 3 of these for different watches. I’ll be back for another with my next watch purchase.

Excellent NATO - I bought the blue NATO strap to go with my Tudor BB 41 (Blue dial) and couldn’t be happier. The strap is durable, comfortable, and looks amazing! 10/10 would buy again!

Excellent service - The first strap had a faulty pin. I emailed their customer service team asking/expecting a replacement pin and was very surprised to find that a completely new strap had been sent! I’ve brought straps before from watchgecko and will always return back for more. Faultless company. Well done!
