      Anybody know where to pick up a good aftermarket nylon strap?
      Son has just bought the moss tactical so I went looking for nylon straps. Amazon best-seller for $22 including shipping to Aus, https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Garmin-Replacement-Wristband-Forerunner/dp/B07J5KQH3J. I found for $2 from Ali, 1.61US $ 27% OFF|20mm 22mm sports nylon nato strap for Samsung Galaxy watch 3 46mm 42mm active 2 40mm 44mm Gear S3 bracelet Huawei GT2 Pro band|Watchbands| - AliExpress. He also went for a NATO, 2.14US $ 45% OFF|Brand Heavy duty nylon straps 20mm 22mm 24mm Nylon Watch Band NATO Strap Zulu strap watch strap ring buckle 280mm Nato Watchband|Watchbands| - AliExpress. I have bought cheap NATO's off Ali before and found the quality to be OK. Have just ordered a cheap perlon for myself, 2.7US $ 48% OFF|16mm 18mm 20mm 22mm Solid color Perlon Woven Nylon watchbands bracelet fabric Woven Watch Strap Band Buckle belt black blue|Watchbands| - AliExpress. Will let you know what I think once they arrive. Best place to explore is Best of Ali-Xpress STRAPS (bracelets). Well worth spending a few hours going through it.

      NATO/ZULU straps are not compatible with the HR sensor. Yellow Dog watch straps make a custom NATO which is.

      Thank you for taking the time putting this information together. I'll avoid the standard NATO's as Snaggletooth alluded to it rendering the HR monitor ineffective, but i'll jump on AliExpress and view the offerings. I ordered a Nick Mankey Designs watch band, but there's a 10 week delivery estimate so checking out some inexpensive AliExpress options seems like a good idea in the meantime. Thanks again.

      Does anyone have a tip on a good perlon? I bought one of these, it smelled like straw, and was just as itchy, and the buckle feels like it was pressed from an old beer can. However, the look is right, I just wish it was a whole lot nicer...

      have ordered quite a few from diff sellers, but none of them recommended
      put one or two in hot water, helped a little bit but searching is still on so +1 request
      (allegedly eulit far the best but they are not cheap)

      Perlons, anybody got a tip on good perlons?

      I've got one of these AU $3.77 49% Off | 16mm 18mm 20mm 22mm Solid color Perlon Woven Nylon watchbands bracelet fabric Woven Watch Strap Band Buckle belt black blue

      It's 'okay', not the most comfortable fabric, the edges are sharp and scratchy, even after re-sealing them with heat, and boiling the strap. The hardware feels like it was pressed from a quality beer can…

      I have a dream of a soft perlon, soft like a wool herringbone/chevron strap, does one even exist??

      Agreed, those inexpensive AliEx perlons are dissatisfying and, to my standards, not worth using.

      I can recommend Wrist Candy Watch Club perlons, or at the very least, I can say that I have been happy with their grey/black melange perlon. It's not AliEx, and it of course costs more, but it's still very reasonably priced. I'm guessing their non-melange perlons are equally good, though I couldn't say from experience.
