Super soft band that makes me forget my watch is there. I have the black and army green that I use on my Seiko SKX007 and they're both very clean looking. Even if you put it on a little snug like I do, it won't rub a sore spot like a leather band might. More comfortable than a NATO strap but I like natos too. Great company to deal with, I'll probably order another color or two...the quick release bars are frosting on the cake.
