Holy cow! I finally switched my watch band over to the one you made and it’s incredibly comfortable. My wrist usually gets irritated from wearing my watch but now I keep forgetting I’m wearing it because it’s so comfortable. The quality of the band also seems amazing. Thanks so much!!

“I just put a blue strap you made me a while back for my Pelagos FXD onto my Explorer 2 Polar and it has transformed the watch. The Explorer has quite a heavy bracelet and was getting a bit cumbersome - was getting less and less wrist time. The watch is perfect now. Super comfortable and the dial pops off the navy blue. I was trying to send you a pic, but not sure how. Anyway, keep up the great work, and very much looking forward to putting the black strap I just ordered on this watch!”

"Seriously the best watch strap on the market. Perfect mix between elasticity and security so it stays comfortable all day, no matter what you’re up to...

…I’ve swam, hiked, biked, and bushwhacked in mine, and no snags or discoloration or damage of any kind!"

"The Hook strap "Pull to Eject" is a perfect accompaniment to any Aviation style watch. The custom stitching allows you to personalise your strap to your watch. It is a work of art."

The quality of craftsmanship is second to none and Nick goes out of his way to ensure you feel like his number one customer. Many thanks . 

"I just got back from a 10 mile run in >100F weather, while wearing the watch, with zero issues). The fit and finish is fantastic..."

I'm new to the watch world and just purchased my first reasonably nice piece, a Squale 1521 with the blasted finish.  I didn't like the strap it came with aesthetically (I think a leather strap looks off on a diver) and functionally (I exercise 2 to 4 hours / day and in the AZ sun, the leather isn't great).  I tried a rubber strap from Uncle Seiko, and it was an improvement over the leather, but hard to get a good fit.  I tried a couple NATO straps and found them annoying to adjust on the fly.  Then I found out about Nick Mankey straps.  After doing some research I ordered one for myself (in orange) and one for my dad (for his MKII Cruxible Hellion, in black and grey).  They both arrived, and gosh are these straps nice.  The design is enormously comfortable and very easy to adjust on the fly -- much easier than a traditional strap or a NATO.  It's also very breathable (I just got back from a 10 mile run in >100F weather, while wearing the watch, with zero issues).  The fit and finish is fantastic.  I really couldn't be happier with my purchase.  I'm sure I'll buy more Nick Mankey straps in the future.  10/10 would reccomend!
