More than expected!
Ok first off. I have only had these bands about a week and the watch they are on is not a daily wear. That said in the small amount of time I've had to test them they are very worth the very reasonable price.The pictures made them look a little higher quality than my initial impressions of them however those first average impressions have gain a lot of respect.The bands at first seemed a little stiff but after a few wears they are now extremely comfortable. I sometimes forget I'm wearing a watch at all because the bands comfort makes it almost disappear on my wrist. (Which can be good and bad but my watch has enough weight that makes it noticeable with any quicker hand movement) They are much more comfortable than any rubber or plastic like original band on many of my cheaper "work" watches. They do not hold much moisture if any and my wrist does not sweat under them even on a hot day.The buckle feels nice and solid albeit a little thin (picture makes it look thicker than actually is) however I believe now after seeing it in person if it was thicker/sturdier it may be too bulky.I also like that these bands have a secondary strap that the main wrist band goes through to hold the watch in place so it has little room to move around on the whole band. A feature that I saw other brands do not have.The spring bar removal tool was very handy and worked perfect. It was also very nice of the manufacturer to include 4 extra spring bars, I've heard many other higher priced bands do not include extra bars or even a tool.All in all I am very pleased with this purchase especially since I was only buying them because they were a frequently bought together item with my new watch and I figured why not try something else new. (I have never replaced any watch band previously)A+ purchase. Have recommended to many friends already.

Quality
If you think you want a new watch but can't afford it, try a new strap. Comes with 4 colors and even fits my 8 3/4 inch wrist. Seems to be durable and look great. Found them to be easy to install and very flexible. Not stiff like the cheaper ones

Good for the price you pay
So far they are holding up they do feel a little on the cheap side, but so far they are holding up feels good on the skin and it doesn’t make me break out and I love the colors.

Good deal. Simple, durable product.
I've been wearing Ritche natos for almost a year now; they have always been comfortable and durable. This pack is no exception. They seem to have made minor design changes to these natos, as opposed to they're older ones with silver hardware. The black, semi-matte hardware on these natos feels a little flimsier and cheaper than the silver hardware but seems to hold up just fine after a few weeks of use. The finish on the buckles has chipped a little bit in places, revealing a shinier bottom layer on the hardware; over time, the finish may chip more. If this concerns you, I would consider the silver hardware natos. However, the chips are so minor they do not bother me at all. These bands fit my small wrists nicely and would definitely also fit someone with smaller or much larger wrists. As with most natos, they are stiff upon arrival but soften up after a few days of use. I have put these in the washing machine with no issues; I do not put them in the dryer. The "dark khaki" is a nice color but looks different than pictured in the product images. It is a bit darker and greener than pictured. In some indoor lighting it appears as almost olive green; outside, it appear more khaki.

Disappointing Clasp
The bands are nice and sturdy but the clasps are weak and do not stay fastened with any sort of activity.

These should be $15ea. Insane Value!
I cannot believe the quality of these straps for the price! I wish the buckles were solid and didn’t use a spring bar, but I’m still giving it a 5 star review because they are a 10/10 value. Holy cow. I don’t waste my time writing reviews unless I would recommend the product, and I 1000% recommend this set.

Durable watch strap
These Ritchie NATO watch straps are an affordable option if you are looking for a rugged strap to accompany your watch on life’s adventures.These lightweight straps are made out of a durable nylon that can get wet, handles both cold and hot temperatures, and can take a beating.I chose the khaki colored strap to adorn my field watch on a recent backpacking trip through the Rocky Mountains, and I was not disappointed. The strap was comfortable, and it handlers being scraped against rocks, being in freezing cold lakes, and baking in the sun for the entire week without any issues.I prefer NATO straps on my field and dive watches because in the event I bash my watch against something and one of the spring bars fails, the way this strap is designed, I won’t lose my watch.To deep clean this watch strap, simply remove it from the watch, run in through a belt loop in a pair of pants, and run it through the washing machine. (Hang it up to dry)These straps have seen a lot of dirt, and after washing them this way, they still look brand new.

Great product but for smaller wrist.
This is an unbeatable value for 3 NATO straps. The 18mm version is a perfect size for the smaller Omega Speedmaster Reduced.Warning: these are about 1” shorter than the standard NATO Strap length but it eliminates having to fold any excess length! It makes the user need to rest your wrist on a table or something while attempting to strap in your watch to your wrist. The strap is also quite stiff from the factory so daily usage should soften it !
