Artem NATO Style Nylon Watch Strap - Bond

While there is absolutely no denying the fabric material of this strap is quite excellent and of superior quality but the hardware is not. The pin part of the buckle is made of a folded thin piece of metal that is too short. Short enough where if the strap is pulled on hard enough, it can disengage and end up behind the buckle as pictured. At this price point I'd expect a milled pin of sufficient length to prevent this particular failure point. The metal keepers also seem a bit cheapish imo for the price as well, and are very easily scratched after a few days of wear. A very nice strap that would benefit greatly from better Hardware. It gets three Stars based only on the quality of the strap material alone. Better hardware and it would be five stars all day long

This is undoubtedly one of the highest quality NATO style straps I have ever worn. The weave isn't too tight or stiff like one might see in similar straps at a lower price point. I also really like the floating keeper in the middle. That said, I do think the price is a bit excessive and wish there were an option for brushed hardware instead of polished. No regrets, though. It's a wonderful, stylish, and comfortable strap overall, and I'm happy with it.

Strap feels good, looks great and is very comfortable. Highly recommend.
