Nato Skull Space Black ADAPTER for the 42mm Apple Watch (All Models)

The strap LOOKS nice. It is thick and stiff (but not in a bad way). I cannot put it on my watch because it did not come with the Apple Watch adapters. The CURRENT description says that adapters are not included, but I'm sure that wasn't in the description when I ordered. Looking at the reviews and even the questions answered by the seller about adapters, it seems to be rather hit-or-miss whether your straps will actually show up with adapters or not. You decided whether you want to take the gamble or not. I gambled and lost.Update: 8-25-16Raising my review from two to four stars. After initial review, the seller (Née Coffee) contacted me and offered to send the adapters. They arrived a few days later. Now that I can put the strap on my watch, I have a few more observations. First, the adapters are shiny stainless, so they don't match the matte finish of the aluminum sport watch, but I'm ok with that. The great thing is that the seller included four extra screws! They're tiny, so easy to loose. The extras are a thoughtful inclusion. A screwdriver was also included. Secondly, I must have the world's smallest adult human wrist--I had to punch/melt a hole about an inch above the highest hole to get the band to fit snugly. This leaves quite a bit of strap left over. You would think that you could just slide one of the strap loops down to hold it, but both metal loops are actually fixed in place. I'm hoping that I can mold and curl the end so that it doesn't stick straight out. I'm still pleased with the thickness and overall look of the strap. It doesn't look to be of cheap quality.

Out of the six or so 3rd party straps I've purchased for my Apple Watch, this is by far the highest quality. It easily equals Apple's own nylon weave. If you want a Nato style strap, this is the one I would recommend buying. Don't waste your money anywhere else, this is what you want.The strap is thick and tough. It is approximately twice as thick as the Clockwork Synergy strap I have, and just a hair thicker than the new Apple nylon weave. The stitching is tight and even. The clasp hardware is evenly coated and looks and feels high to be durable and high quality. Same of the Apple Watch adapters to connect it to the watch. I trust my watch with this strap, even during heavy activity. You aren't going to find a better nylon band.The company itself was also great to deal with. I made an error on my end, and contacted them. They were quick to respond and exceeded my expectations resolving it.To address some previous concerns, as of 5/23/2016:-My band did come with the adaptors, as well as a mini screwdriver to move the adaptors to other bands.-The strap is thick and stiff, but not in a bad way. It is comparable to the much more expensive Apple bands. Both break in wonderfully.-I could find no manufacturing faults.

For the quality of this band, this was unfortunately a very overpriced product. Looks good initially until you attempt to connect the bands and then attempt to wear them. Poor product overall.The nylon band is neither comfortable nor flexible like described. It is so stiff that you almost CAN'T flex it enough to close the claps. Once you do, good luck getting the watch off quickly or easily!!They also really needed to provide two band length options because this one has an annoying excess amount of strap, almost 1" that extends beyond the claps, and it catches on everything possible because of how stiff it is!Even though they DO now include the watch adapters, they had them backwards on the straps! This isn't a huge deal though because thankfully they also provide a bit and two extra screws so I was able to quickly remove them and flip them around. Including the tools with this band is the only reason I gave this a two star rating.

This 'modified' NATO band was purchased along with a pair of Wearlizer Metal Watch Band Clasp/connector for the 42mm Apple Watch. A standard NATO band, of course would cover the four-Apple sensors on the back of your watch. Hence the desire for a modified/open back strap. My first impression of the Nato Skull was it was very stiff/thick nylon. But, having owned several 'thin' nylon NATO bands - I have to say, the thicker Nato Skull feels much nicer. It took a few days for the band to loosen-up. But, once it does, it looks & feels great.Installation of the band onto the Wearlizer Clasps was easy; if you don't own a spring bar tool, buy one. That definitely adds in the process. I'll be looking to pick-up another Nato Skull in a different color.

The band is pretty thick, stiff and a little "rough" right out of the box, but it seems very well made, durable, looks good and the chrome hardware is nicely finished. I have normal sized wrists for a guy. Not thick, not skinny, and the band is adjusted right about in the middle.Edit: My blue band did not arrive with watch connectors (I missed that in the description), and I had originally only given it 2 stars, but the seller contacted me right away and is shipping out an adaptor. Wow! GREAT customer service, especially at this price point! I've now changed my review to 5 stars. The seller has also assured me the stiff, "rough" feeling will "break in" over time.

The band is pretty much as described. VERY stiff upon arrival and four weeks later (or so) of everyday use... not as stiff but still pretty close. I'm used to it now, but for the first week at least it was difficult buckling the watch band.My only complaint would be that a black "band connector" was not an option. I have the black Apple Watch and attaching a black band that has a black "PVD Metal Clasp" but a stainless steel band connector looks pretty ridiculous... To solve the problem I purchased the Luvvitt connector which, unfortunately, does not fit as well as the stainless that was provided with the band but looks approximately 1,257 times better.While I gave the band 4 stars, it's good not great, I don't know if I would buy it again... mainly because I had to purchase black band connectors separately and then "make" what I actually wanted. That's a bummer.
