I purchased this band to replace a similar watchband on my Tawatec dive watch, which got grungy and frayed within the first six months.  I figured I would be ordering these things pretty regularly as a result, so I looked for a less expensive 22mm NATO watchband and came across this product, which proved to be a better product than the original band that came with my watch !

Even after some rough use during Hurricane Sandy, the band took one hell of a beating and was easy to clean of salt water stains.  Needless to say, I am very happy with this product and have no reservations of buying another one, when I need it.  .  .
