Doesn’t work for latest Gizmo Watch
Watch band is nice, however this band will not work with the latest Gizmo watch (the kind that has a charger similar to the Apple Watch). The way this band has to be put on, blocks the back of the watch where the charging port is.

Nice strap; just beware the pin removal tool
This is a nice, simple strap, comfortable and easy to wear, and it will probably get easier still as time goes on and the strap develops a sort of crease where I bend it back over the buckle part.Like at least one other reviewer, I'm not a fan of the big logo on the strap and, knowing I was going to follow his lead and go over the logo with a black Sharpie to make it as invisible as possible, I bought the strap with the gray logo. That seemed the least conspicuous color to me, and indeed, the Sharpie invisible-ized it nicely - it now looks like the black-on-black logo arrangement I would have gone for if the manufacturer had offered it.This strap came with a pin removal tool and two replacement lug pins, but I'm glad I ordered and received another band when I did this one because I didn't have a pin removal tool at the time and the one that came with this strap was inadequately finished, leaving it very rough and sharp on one side, such that if I hadn't noticed that and had used it to remove my lug pins, I might well have scratched the heck out of my lugs. The tool that came with the ArtStyle Watch Band with Ballistic Nylon Material Strap and High-End Black Buckle was high-quality and well-finished and I used that to do the job without incident (other than a tiny one born of my own carelessness and haste).I can recommend this strap - just not the pin removal tool that comes with it.* * * Update * * * - I just bought and installed another one on my new Vostok Komandirskie with the vivid red face and bezel, and I'm particularly excited about this one because I was very much taken with the beauty of this watch when I received it - it's *way* prettier in person than it is in the photos, and the photos were pretty enough to inspire me to buy the thing in the first place - but when I bought it, it wasn't available with a black strap; only with camouflage straps, none of which (in my opinion, at least) came close to looking good with that red face. So I had a gorgeous watch (and a Russian one at that! Being part-Russian, I love my Russian products) that I refused to wear because of what I felt was a hideous strap. Enter a new Ivappon strap, and my Komandirskie now looks stunning - strap and all - and I can wear it without wanting to hide every time a human or squirrel comes within 500 yards of me due to crippling embarrassment caused by Ugly Strap Syndrome. Thank you, Ivappon, for making this strap in a 20mm width too!

How to pick correct size
The sizing instructions contradict themselves. It says " measure your wrist and if your wrist measures between A and C buy the regular size. The on ordering it says if your wrist meets the minimum (A) dimension order the extra long. This was confusing so I figured I'd er on the side of caution as my wrist was a perfect (A) The extra long I received ( as instructed and ordered ) was so long when putting on I have to use up all the length and am let without the ability to tighten the band. I'm sure this explanation is confusing but someone at Nappon should review the sizing instructions and clarify .

Better quality velcro than the brand that I was using
I just started using this brand of band for my Luminox watch and thus far I like it. The Velcro used on the brand that I previously used (SwissTech) became "fuzzed out" in just a few weeks of regular wear. That was a real shame because I had used their bands for several years and would get at least six months of use before replacement. I am into six weeks of use now with the IVAPPON band and the hook and loop fastener is staying tight - whereas the newer Swiss Tech would be starting to lose its grip at this. I live in SW Florida and am an active outdoorsman - in a canoe or kayak weekly and fishing on a regular basis, so the bands get wet and used (abused?). I am giving it four stars for now but will revisit this review in a couple months and update it. I buy my watchbands and don't get any freebies from anyone, nor do I know anyone at either of these companies.

Really solid watch band.
I like velcro watch bands because bands with buckles never seem to fit me quite right. I can adjust a velcro band so it fits just right, not too tight and not too loose. I've tried a lot of them with a lot of different watches. This one may be my all time favorite.I paired this band with my Casio ProTrek 2500 using the 22mm regular length version. It fits great, it's very snug and very comfortable. I really like the fact that even if one of the watch pins comes off, the watch will not leave the band, even though this is very unlikely with the bolts the ProTrek uses. However, that's a good feature for someone who is going to subject their watch to some rough handling. This does mean, though, that you will have to remove the pins to install this particular band, you can't just thread the band through with the pins attached.The velcro holds securely, I've never had the watch come undone. Part of this is that my particular watch takes a 22mm band, and the wider the band, the greater the hold. I've taken this watch hiking through plenty of rough terrain, and the webbing and the velcro is still in very good shape. I'm sure given enough use eventually the band will need to be replaced, but it shows no sign of fraying or loosening after several months of hard use.I've worn a bunch of velcro watch bands over the years. I think this is the best one I've owned. If I ever need another one, I'll be looking to replace it with the same model.
