“Special! - Ordered the ZULUDIVER Marine Nationale in red and blue for my Pepsi modded Seiko SKS, amazing! The colours of the watch popped up. The quality of the textile can be slightly improved. Would order again from WatchGecko!”

“Great service; product can be improved - I gave an earlier review on a leather watch strap I bought together with a NATO MN strap. Likewise, great service in responding to my queries, speedy delivery, unexpected "surprises". Product description and quality are good. However, the pricing seems a bit high in relation to the perception of the quality. I feel that with the pricing as such, the strap can be a little thicker, maybe tougher. To be fair, that's left to be seen over time. But what shocked me later, after I made the purchase just a couple of weeks ago, the price was slashed! Just tough luck on me:( Nevertheless, I have been happy and satisfied with my purchases and will hope to buy more quality products here, very soon. Thank you.”

“So far so good. - Very thin in a good way. Doesn’t seem to be flimsy in any way just thin which is actually nice in comparison to the other natos. Doesn’t add much height to the watch and it looks good being that the colors are very vibrant. I will likely buy many more.”

“Don't buy - Way overpriced for a thin, cheesy nato strap. Not even heavy enough to properly tighten under the rings like a normal nato should. Also the buckle is cheap, but does the job I guess. Bottom line is the quality is nowhere near that of straps like Blu Shark and others and it's way more expensive. Major ripoff.”

“A bit misleading... - It's a coincidence that around the same time that I bought this strap, Watchgecko introduced an ACTUAL marine nationale strap. I realise from the fittings that it's a NATO, but I rather mistakenly assumed the fabric was elasticated, as with the original marine nationale strap. I realise now that I simply misread, however it is slightly annoying. That said, there's nothing particularly lacking. The fabric is lightweight, and seems a little frail at first glance; however it holds up alright. The buckle and loops lack the wholly military aspect of more traditional fittings, seeming quite flimsy. Still, it's generally superior to the vast majority of straps available on the market. It just doesn't have quite the same satisfying feel one might expect from a zuludiver strap...”

“Great strap, bit off on the colours - Great band. Brushed hardware goes perfectly with the hard anodized aluminium case of my chronograph. Only complaint is the colours - the green bands have a great olive drab colour, but the red stripe in mine is not a pure red at all, it leans heavily toward an orange-red; and the grey is a nice dark grey, but it is a bit too cold (blue) for my liking. Adjusting their colours to make them more 'pure' would make them more appealing in my opinion.”

“Great NATO - Great nato and great color options. These are thinner than other nato straps, but they are well made, and not as bulky as some of the thicker ones. Nice matte finished hardware. I received my strap in the US in 6 days with just regular shipping, so very happy with that. I will definitely be ordering more of these in the future.”
