Strap On
I've had a CWC watch now for over 30 years, got it refurbished a few years ago with a new glass and a polish but never really liked the plain grey strap that it came with it. It sat in a box for some time and then I subsequently stopped wearing watches for about 15 years.Cut to last year and I got a metal strap fitted to another watch of mine and started wearing it again. I like a loose strap, and when I started seeing more and more of these coloured straps about I decided to invest in one. Mainly because it was a longer length that my dull grey one.Plenty of colour choices to choose from and I settled on the navy with a thin white and red line up the center - being ex RN it fitted in with what I wanted.I can now wear my watch nice and loose, there's plenty of strap and I can go either way on the tightness. It looks good and I've also had some comments on it.Well worth the money, easy to fit and makes my old CWC a nice looking item.

Durable and practical for daily wear
Not as stylish as the Jetson series but much more practical for hard daily wear as it does not (or mine hasn't) fray easily which can be a problem with the former. Cardboardy texture is acceptable if not the best comfort but it does look very crisp and smart (in navy blue) which matters to me. More bright colours, say yellow and orange would be appreciated and I could not find a black one in 24mm.

Excellent
Very nice nato, very neat and comfortable, it would certainly seem it will last a very long time, black and grey stripes look black in some lights, so it becomes quite discreet and subtle.My only tiny issue is the buckle is slightly weak but easy to replace with bigger and nicer oneAll in all great value and good quality

Despite issues with Amazon picking, issues resolved and quality great!
MaterialThe bands are well stitched with clean edges and the material is soft. The 10" strap fits my 8" wrist perfectly with a little to spare. A band from another seller at the same price has already started fraying and the holes have deformed after only 2 weeks of use. The Barton one seems to be designed to tighter tolerances so I don't need to tighten it as much to get it to stay in place. The nylon retaining loop holds the end of the strap well and stops it getting caught on a shirt or coat promoting premature wear. I wouldn't be surprised if these straps far outlast my others.FixingsThe fixings are strong and minimal as not to detract from the watch you have on the strap. The only criticism I have is that I would like to see the more premium tubular retaining hoops on the straps as these are able to lay flat against the strap in either direction giving a cleaner look.AmazonI had issues when ordering the 18mm black/ebony/ivory strap from Amazon as the Warehouse seems to have labelled the straps as 22mm black/bond leading to the wrong strap being sent out. I can't fault Bartons customer service however as the representative I spoke with ensured the issue was resolved quickly.Overall I was impressed with both the customer service I received and the overall fit and finish of the bands I purchased a few more and will continue to purchase straps from Bartons range for any future watches I own.

Sturdy strap
A bit pricier than some other other Nato watch straps, I liked this one for the material strap keep rather than having the metal keepers. It's a thick strap (only just goes through the watch back/holding bars) but is comfortable and folding back the excess strap into the material keeper make the strap look less fussy. I really like it.

Average NATO strap
It’s ok, but a little bit overpriced in my opinion.

Good quality strap
I purchased one of these for a relative to replace a snapped Casio watch strap and it certainly looks the part. It is woven nylon and has a food modern feel in a navy colour. And matches the watch quite well time will tell how long it lasts but it’s reallyComfortable . Recommended

Good all round watch strap!
Good product and choice of colours really good. Be careful about width size as no ‘give’ in material if too wide. Has to fit perfectly otherwise pins can pop out.

Well made, good fit, casio gwm5610
The Barton 22mm NATO strap, all black, seems to be well-made, well sized for an average sized man's wrist, and comfortable. The length is perfect, with no need to adjust or fold the strap back under the loop - there is no excess, nor shortage of length. Will try to update review in a few months after seeing how well it holds up to every day wear and tear.Ordered this to attach to a Casio GWM5610 after the original resin(?) strap developed tears in the eyelets after a few years of everyday wear. In order to do this, one needs adapters such as "JaysAndKays metal adapters" from the other big online sales site that starts with an E and rhymes with bay. This pair of metal adapters allows for a 22mm NATO strap to attach to the 16mm Casio watch. It looks and feels great.Update: After about 6 months of daily wear and no tear, I maintain 5 stars. I am impressed at the quality. I was unsure if it was going to be a cheapo thing that frayed and came apart after a while. But no, this strap, for the price, is quite good. There is no fray anywhere along any of the edges. The hole where I buckle it, I do unbuckle it daily for shower and whatnot, so that particular strap hole gets used a lot, so it does show some slight bit of wear, but I suspect it will keep going for months or years, probably years. If at any point I need to switch to an adjacent hole, I will, but there is no tearing or fraying. This is a great impressive strap. I actually plan on buying a second one just in case i accidentally have a freak accident and cut this one with a knife or something. It holds up to sweat, grimey yard work, dirt, washing with dawn soap, salt, showers, digging, mechanical work, etc. Extremely comfortable, like you forget it's even there. The metal parts do not tarnish or ever look bad. Stellar strap. 10 out of 10.

Tuve que cancelar la compra de otra correa porque no me daban fecha de entrega después de 1 semana de realizar el pago.

Cinturino nato di pregevole fattura
Ho comprato il cinturino nato per sfruttare un mio orogolio anche nel periodo estivo, devo dire che il cinturino si dimostra sia al tatto sia al polso di qualità, sicuramente su amazon se ne trovano anche alla metà del prezzo ma questi mi sembrano molto più duraturi.

Fashionable and Functional.
Fit and size was exact as specified. Fashionable and Functional. Item is NOT made to be 'stretch'y - is the only reason the 'stretch category' was not given a high rating. It is much better quality than the band it replaced.
