NATO, Zulu or Rhino Watch band?

[ozziworld]

Am looking for a watch band to replace the band that came with my Citizen Aqualand.

What are the differences between NATO, ZULU and Rhino Straps? Are these a style of Band or are these the brand ?

They all seem similar in concept. Would appreciate feedback on your preferences and info on what to look for.

The watch I need it for is quite large and heavy (Citizen Aqualand 20th Anniversary edition) and need it in 24mm width.

I have a few Zulu's that I wear from time to time and also come to think of it a NATO, I think the rhino is similar to the Zulu, just a different brand.They are all worn so that if you break a pin you dont loose your watch. The NATO is longer and fold back under the loops on it. The thing I dont like is that once they get wet it takes them a while to dry, so after the dive you have a wet band on your wrist, but their so cheap you can take a couple with you and switch them out till they dry. Heres where i order mine. maratac and they do have 24mm but if you want to use 22 which are more common it will work fine.

I like my Zulu's as well. Got them from countycom.com - nicely made, good quality and the standard length is long enough for me (my wrist size) to fold back and secure the tag end.

Make sure you get the 4-ring band to get the security tat dwm1 mentions.
