Wonderful band, but one annoying hiccup. Still recommend!
This style of band is exactly what I was looking for. I generally wear shirts with blue in them, and my watch has a brown face. This band brings everything together perfectly. The nylon strap feels strong and durable. The blue band color is beautiful, and the brown leather parts of the band look great and appear to be high quality.I deducted a star because while it appears the manufacturer is in the process of changing the style of buckle that comes with the watch, I did not receive the new style. This is important because as I have somewhat smaller wrists it nearly an exercise in futility trying to get the band inserted far enough into the buckle to hook the strap in properly. The band near the smaller sizes is a little too small for the style of buckle that this came with. I have learned to be something of a contortionist with my hand to wiggle the buckle back and forth while trying to feed the band through far enough to secure properly. That is rather frustrating. I see that they have a "tapered" band option, but it is not in stock and I needed a band quickly. I didn't see an explanation in the product details, nor was it immediately apparent to me in the picture, if the tapered option may have helped address this issue. That is the one I would have ordered had it been available, but unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to order it.Still, overall I absolutely love the look and quality feel of this band. I would order it again, and am considering ordering the green and brown one as that one would also complement my watch face perfectly.Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the product, but if the person who will be wearing this has smaller wrists, as I do, just go forward knowing there will be some difficulty getting it to secure properly. I am hoping that with continued wearing it will break in a bit and the task will become easier. I will post an update after I've worn it a bit longer.

Good quality band for the price.
I have a large-ish wrist, about 8 inches around, and always have trouble finding replacement bands that will fit. I wanted this particular combination of brown leather and blue nylon in a "NATO" style band for a particular new watch. This band is not only "long enough," it's a tad too long for me ... still a little loose on my wrist at second from tightest hole, but I'm happy with that fit. I don't like my watches to fit too tight. The leather seems a little on the cheap side, but it's comfortable, and looks/works fine for me. As a "bonus," each band comes with a little tool that makes removal/replacement of the spring bars a breeze. Good band for the price ... I'm pleased.P.S. to original review, and suggestion for all guys with "large-ish" wrists like mine. This vendor offers this band in both "long" (this one) and "regular" lengths. If you like the band but find, as I did, that this one is just a *tiny bit* longer than you'd like, buy a second in the "regular" length, and combine one side of each to make two "medium" length bands. I did that, and now I've got two custom-length bands that fit me perfectly ... one on the watch, and one spare!

Quality strap, great sizing. But a bit hard to install on Casio F-91W
Perfect fit for my Casio F-91W. When I wore my watch with the new strap for the first time it felt very secure and durable. Nothing flimsy. My only problem is that it was hard to install, I'm not sure what the tool that came with it was supposed to be for since it didn't fit the F-91W pinhole. I ended using the tip of my mechanical pen to take out the metal pin. The biggest problem however was reconnecting the pin after I put on the strap. It probably took me an hour of complete fidgeting to get the pins to go inside the hole on my F-91W. Of course it's not the straps fault, but if you are a Casio F-91W user be aware that it may take a while switch out the straps because of the small pins.

Nostalgic scout band
I took away one star because the spring bars that came with the band are not great quality and I will have to replace them. Also the buckle is very light for an outdoor band. I replaced that with the original buckle w/ logo.Regardless, this is a great band that is attractive and made of good material. It's a throwback to my old boy scout band and it is giving my 25 yr old Wenger a new life.I did not even realize until I put it on the watch that the green canvas would be a perfect highlight to the green luminous hands on my watch. That was a great surprise.Recommended.

Great quality at a great price
Picked up this along with several other straps for my Hamilton Khaki Field. Purchased the black and olive color with other colors on the way. Looks fantastic on the Khaki field and is extremely comfotable comapred to several of my other straps. Fits great and seems very durable. Certainly recommend with any field style watch.

Attractive
I was not disappointed. It looks just like the picture and is decent quality. I would buy it again. It fit my watch perfectly as a replacement for a Victorinox band that just fell apart (after many years). This one appears to be the same quality. Pay attention to the length, I got a regular and should have ordered an extra long watch band. It's been many years since I bought a watch band and I forgot to order extra long. Otherwise I am very satisfied with quality and looks.

Comfortable XL watch band
I think this nylon/leather band is more comfortable on the skin than pure nylon NATO style bands. It is hard to find nice lightweight and comfortable bands in an XL size. My Vostok Komandirskie (VK) watches need 18 mm bands, but most decent bands are in the more popular 20, 22 and 24mm sizes only. These bands work great with casual watches like VK watches and cheap digital watches that take 18mm bands.

Tried lots of bands and this is my favorite
The circumferences of my wrists are rather large and I only have one free loop on this band, but it's much more comfortable than the others I've tried. I like the style and materials a lot.Would be 5 stars if the seller had shipped both pins in the right size. Unfortunately only one of them was 22mm and I had to swap the incorrectly shipped 20mm one with a pin from another band, but it was totally worth it.
