Clockwork Synergy Premium Nylon Ballistic Watch Straps bands PVD Black Hardware

Very glad I took a chance on this strap. Had never heard of Clockwork Synergy, but the red "racing-style" stripes on the black band really caught my eye. Have only had it a couple days, but it is very nicely made. The stripe is a slightly less-vibrant red than what I saw on my computer, and to me that's a positive. It stands out against the black strap and is obviously red without being garish.Also have a Maratec Bond NATO and a couple "generic" NATOs that were supposedly made in Switzerland. The Clockwork Synergy strap is very slightly stiffer than the others, but it's just as comfortable to wear and appears to be better made. I think the stiffness might be related to the very tightly woven material which looks like it should hold up very well to daily wear. The PVD hardware looks excellent with a consistent satin black finish. The clasp holes and end of the strap are heat sealed. To me it's a great looking strap and seems well made at a fair price. Highly recommended. The strap in not marked stating the country where it was made. Will update this review if anything changes.

This is a very nice little watch strap in the classic James Bond patter. The colors go great with the stainless steel dive watches with orange faces. It's a sporty alternative to the usual stainless bands and rubber straps.The material is a little thinner than the other straps I've purchased. That's not a bad thing. I tend to prefer the heavier materials, but this is a fine little strap for when I wanna mix it up a little bit.Highly recommended!

I love NATOs and I've bought them from several different places over the years. This NATO feels pretty much the same as the others, which is to say it's fine. The price was nice and the shipping was fast. I bought this particular NATO for the color (black and bronze) and the black hardware. The bronze is sort of a "burnt orange" color that matches the color on my Citizen Skyhawk (see photo). The hardware is sewn into place rather than melted, which is a plus for me. The black coating has not rubbed off yet.

NATO-style straps in general: NATO straps are very comfortable and secure, and they're perfect for divers' watches because they can accommodate extra width (to accommodate a thick wet-suit), while the extra material folds neatly away when not needed. NATOs are also perfect for military/field use (for which they were originally designed).This brand: the quality of this NATO strap is on par with Dievas straps you can order from Gnomon watches. With international shipping, you'll pay approximately $25 for a Dievas strap, so this strap from Clockwork Synergy is a better value. Both straps share the same weakness: the holes through which the buckle is routed fray easily, giving the straps about a 3-6 month life-span if worn every day (will vary depending on how much you wear it and how much fraying you're willing to experience before replacing it). You can extend that life-span a little by using a match to cauterize the hole now and then. I have found one company (The Strap Shop, UK, or TSS) that heat seals the holes really, really well and produces a NATO strap that lasts a whole lot longer. TSS straps cost about $25 including shipping, and because they last so long, they're very much worth it. However, unlike Clockwork Synergy and Dievas, TSS does not offer a very wide variety of colors.Bottom Line: Lower quality than the best straps on the market, but the low price and the wide variety of colors may make these straps from Clockwork Synergy a good buy.

Love this band! Matches my Sinn 103 Titanium perfectly. Just the right size for my 6.8 inch wrist without a lot of excess strap left over. Can be removed in seconds. Light and cool in hot weather. Easy to wash, dry then reattach. Like the pattern. Purchase was trouble-free. Will definitely buy more of this kind of nylon strap!

I dont think I will ever use it. it feels like plastic, not nylon, and it is not elastic at all

A nice thick (but not too thick) woven nylon band, heat-sealed to be free of frays. The hardware is substantial but not too big or "loopy" and has stayed nice and black. The color scheme really makes my grey kickstarter-edition Pebble stand out in a sporty yet sophisticated way.

I'm writing this review at least two years after purchase and the band is still in great shape. The orange stripe has faded to a lighter shade, however I'm pretty rough on it. Because it's on a dive watch with an automatic movement, I sleep in it. In fact, it never leaves my wrist, including showering. I'm very pleased with this strap and would certainly buy another.
