First up: This is not a proper NATO strap. NATO straps pass under the watch body, ensuring that the watch will not fall off if a single pin fails. Obviously, smartwatches need against skin contact for their sensors to work, which ultimately renders NATO straps are incompatible. This strap is probably about the best compromise for those who want the NATO look.

I have been using this 22mm strap daily with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 for almost a month. The strap has a chunky aesthetic, which arguably compliments the chunkiness of my GW3.

The seatbelt nylon has been smartly cut - there's no indication of impeding fraying; though it's early days yet. Stitching is tidy, and looks like it should hold well - but appears to only be single stitched. Despite the sharp cuts at the end of seams I've found the strap to be comfortable.

Worth noting all hardware is stitched in - so loops are not adjustable to suit your wrist size. I wear my watch on the 5th hole (out of 8 total holes available) for my 18.5cm wrist, and the excess strap only just tucks into the second loop.

There's two negatives I've found so far, though neither are deal breakers:

1. There's already hints of paint loss on some of the loops through regular wear and tear. We'll see in time how these hold up.

2. The strap surrounding the pins rubs against the watch body enough that the nylon has started to go a little fuzzy. I'm expecting that this won't affect the functionality of the strap.

Over-all I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this strap to others seeking this style of strap for a smartwatch.
