BARTON WATCH BANDSBallistic Nylon NATO® Style Straps - Choice of Color, Length & Width (18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm)

This Barton NATO style ballistic watch band was seemingly designed with my watch in mind: the Citizen Eco-Drive Blue Angels World Chronograph A-T Watch, arguably the coolest looking watch on the planet. The blue and yellow colors of the band mirror the colors of the watch, the same colors as the US Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron. The band is light but durable and wears as well if not better as the blue and yellow pleather band which came with the watch.

I bought these expecting them to be of a more soft fabric material like the NATO that came on my Seiko SRPG33, but they’re not. They are very stiff and feel of plastic. Think of a backpack strap. They feel very durable and well made, and are still comfortable on the wrist, just not what I was expecting. That being said, I bought these to give a couple of my watches a variety of looks outside of the standard strap/bracelet they came on, and they achieved just that! The colors are vibrant and look great. The width is exact and fits perfectly between the lugs (22mm in this case for both) I will note that the navy and yellow strap is a very dark navy and almost looks black (as you can see in the photo). It’s not a big deal as my Bulova has a black dial so it still pairs very well, but just figured I’d mention it. Overall I’m very pleased with them, especially for the sale price I got them for, and will likely buy more. At $6-$15 why not experiment with colors, right? Great value for the money. Buy with confidence.SIDE NOTE: These straps do not come with springbars. So if you’re like me and have other bands with quick releases, you may need to order some spring bars if you don’t still have your watches’ originals. Luckily I had some laying around.

I was in need for a replacement watch band. I bought 3 different color bands. Love them! They were very easy to change. Well made.

I really like this watch band, the one I bought 3 years ago has finally worn out. So I originally bought 2 more, ironically it only fit one of my 2 watches. I decided to keep both and ordered the correct one for the second watch. Pretty happy.

works great

Hello All. This is my first NATO strap. I have a 7.5" wrist. I decided to pair this with my VAER A5 field watch to give it a new look. I am not 100% sold on the color combo, I went with this one because it was on sale for about 6 dollars. It was a great way to see if I like the Look and feel of the strap.Installation - This was very easy. The strap gives you instructions that are easy to follow. I had mine on the strap in about 5 minutes.Feel - I love the nato strap. The watch does not feel heavy on the wrist and does not grab too tightly. I also have a rubber and nylon quick-release strap for this watch. I would put this Nato strap at the top of my list for comfort. The horween black leather strap I got with the watch is a dressier and more comfortable look. I would instead save that strap for dressier occasions and not everyday wear.The only negative would be that little bit that sticks out. I opted for the long, so not certain if the regular size would fit better. I ended up just tucking the extra back into the loop with no issues.I am definitely going to keep looking for good deals on these straps and add them for special occasions and such. I have my eye on the red, white, and blue strap.

I love these watch bands. They are a fair price, they look great, and last a really long time. I am finally replacing one that I have had for almost 5 years. Given the price it is easy to have 1 or 2 styles and quick switch them out. They are super simple to install. They are really easy to wash and keep looking great. Highly recommended.

If only the fabric were even the slightest bit absorbent - or even just a little softer - this would be perfect. As it is, it's very, very good.

High quality, not too thick or thin and like that the retaining band is material rather than metal. Lovely colours (red and gold). Proper NATO with the extra loop to prevent case falling off if a pin is dislodged. Will return here for future straps.

The strap is nice and does the job well. Fits my 22mm watch, which is good. It's a bit on the thin side, but doesn't feel like it'll break off any time soon. I did receive 3 identical straps though, which I don't know if it was intentional or not (only placed one order). If it was intentional, I would've liked to pick different patterns for each one, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
