Who does not know, it's hot and the watch is sweating a fixed arm. Whether leather or metal band, it sticks and begins after a few days even to unpleasant smell. This nylon band has ever the advantage that the clock is not on the arm but the nylon is in between. It does not stick the arm and takes no sweat. The material is similar to a seat belt in the car very robust and with thicker buckles sits the clock really sure. That's just good times!
