Thin, comfortable, high quality strap. No nonsense, this is a premium strap for a not-so-premium price.
I got the black PVD and "Bond" striped canvas strap/NATO, and I'll focus on that one for review: Truffol 20mm 1-Piece NATO Strap Nylon Watch Band with PVD Steel Metal Buckle Loop (Black & Titanium Grey)I'm far more impressed with this strap than I thought I'd be. This is by far not my first canvas strap/NATO strap rodeo-- I probably have 2-3 dozen, but I didn't have a 20mm with black PVD hardware. This was one of the few options that Amazon had that looked tempting, and it definitely exceeded expectations.Let's get the one 'gotcha' out of the way first-- the branding element of these straps is that the first keeper ring after the buckle is a different color-- on mine it was a dark gray instead of black. I was thinking that might be the case as the pictures are a little unclear in the product description. Honestly-- I like it. It adds character, but I wasn't sure how it would look until I saw it in person. If you're looking for a strap where all the keepers are equally black, this is not that.That said, once you know the keepers are a little different from the generic straps you see most often, that extends through the entire product. The finish is a high density seat-belt weave, but unlike all the seat belt straps I have, it's thinner and more flexible. My calipers peg it around 0.9-1.0mm thick, while the other seat-belt style straps I have are closer to 1.4+mm while 'standard' straps are around 1.2mm. Big deal? Yeah, when the strap doubles, it can be. It also can be an issue if the spring bars are very close to the watch. The thinness means it's comfortable, too. The material is very high quality, with a slight sheen and the keepers are stitched, not welded.You want length? This one has you covered. I measured mine to 11 and 1/4" which is around 285mm long. That's just longer enough than the 10 and 3/4" standard length for me to be able to easily do a 'tuck' with an 8" wrist, but not so incredibly long that you end up with a long floppy tail.Packaging was excellent. The strap included a spring bar tool and three extra spring bars. Why three? Well you'd be sad if you lost one and didn't have a spare, wouldn't you.In short-- tremendous quality for a reasonable price and highly recommended. I'll be looking out for more of these in the future.

Not compatible with Misfit Phase - No customer service
When I received the watch strap I thought it looked and felt nice, however I soon realized that it had a pin for installing onto my watch. This is not compatible with my Phase. I emailed them to ask about it and no one got back to me. I'm super upset as I needed it to work and there are hardly any strap options.

Very elegant, understated and exquisitely made
Really beautifully made strap. The finish of the strap is smooth but the pattern gives it depth. Looks very elegant on the wrist and understated. The shade of the grey stripes is darker than most nato bond straps which makes it look great. A nice touch is the first loop near the buckle is dark grey while the rest are black. It’s a small detail but it adds a little dimension.

Nice replacement
Slightly thinner than my previous band but still quite nice.
