Customer photo review of Ribbed Single-Pass - Gray

David H.

I was sent the 22mm version of this by a watch friend and loved it immediately! Most of my watches are 20mm, so I ordered this and a couple other style/colors in 20mm. They are extremely comfortable and durable! And they look great on just about any color dial watch, particularly yellow and black dials. If I had one request, it would be to have a choice of a slightly shorter strap as I have to fold it under and tuck it in the keeper. My wrist is 7-1/2”, so these straps are long, which is better ...

BluShark Tropic Strap is an excellent and stylish strap that combines classic good looks and great functionality with modern high quality materials. The strap itself has all the right elements and follows the original recipe developed for divers decades ago. The “basket-weave” finish with small perforations, two saw-like spines on the outer edges, and waffle pattern on the reverse side. Overall, it is a fantastic strap option, excellent quality and price!

This was first Blu Shark purchase and the quality and shipping was fantastic. One of the main reasons I rate this band highly is because of the length. My wrist is 8.5" long which makes buying watches and bands difficult. The Blu Shark band is 290mm long which is fantastic for me. Shipping was extremely fast also. Overall I am very pleased. If you are looking for a nylon strap for your watch, whether is is a single pass like this one or a NATO you cannot go wrong with Blu Shark products.

Love this strap! I put the quality “as expected” because this is not my first purchase from BluShark and it will not be my last! I have come to expect nothing less than top quality from BluShark and this piece is no exception. The rubber is very soft and flexible.

Harold L.

My new favorite watch band. I have over a dozen straps from Blushark and other vendors, but this is now my go-to. Robust construction, but superbly comfortable. It's just stretchy enough to be comfortable, but easily supports my Speedmaster. I'll be getting more colors!

I was a bit concerned about the stiffness of this band but after wearing it I find it very comfortable. I did have a little trouble installing it as the clearance between the spring bar and the case was a little tight. The band however, looks great on this watch!

Customer photo review of AlphaPremier - Cockatiel

Hector G.

I was gifted this used Croton watch at work. It came with a stainless steel and gold bracelet. But the bracelet was too big for me, and I never been a fan of steel bands anyway. So I search for a NATO whose colors ressembles the ones from from the bracelet (silver/gold), and cockatiel strap from Blushark nailed it. This is the 15th strap I get from them, and I love the way it makes my watch look.

Customer photo review of Sailcloth - Tan

Ron T.

The strap and buckle are high quality. Love the built-in spring bars. The tan sailcloth is backed with black rubber. Cool tan color works nicely to contrast w/ my black dial turtle. These aren't inexpensive, even with the buy two get one free, but the quality is apparent.

Customer photo review of Divecore - American FKM - HP Professional Diving Watch Strap - Black

Ron T.

There's quite a bit for me to like here. FKM rubber which I prefer to silicone. No taper, which I also prefer. A ton of adjustment holes spaced very close to each other make it very easy to get a perfect fit. Nice buckle. It's a somewhat long strap, but the 2nd rubber keeper has a lock to keep the end of the strap tucked. IMHO better than an Isofrane at at half the price.

Customer video review of Nautilus One - Service Khaki

I absolutely love the style this strap adds to my watch! It captures that vintage military aesthetic, offering a classic and timeless look. The color is striking, and the comfort is exceptional, making it an easy choice for everyday wear

Customer video review of Orca - Vintage Bond

Matt

This strap looks great on my watch and fits great on my wrist. I bought it for the 007 aesthetic, and it fulfills that purpose. I was pleasantly surprised how well the brushed hardware matches the brushing on the watch case. If I had to pick nits, the stripes are off-center by half the thickness of a stitch, which no one will notice when it's on-wrist.

Customer photo review of Kwik Change - Bond Watch Strap

Paul K.

As a follow-up Blu-Shark refunded the one wrong-sized Kwik-Change Bond strap I returned (I kept one), then found a correct-sized one eventually and sent me that as a holiday surprise. I have not taken the new-model Seiko 5 off since; I basically bought the watch as an excuse to wear this two piece Bond when they have never been my taste, not to my liking befire, certainly not as a true NATO nor even Zulu strap. However, love the look and feel, and the Seiko is actually keeping excellent time ...

Great watch strap from Blu shark!!, I got the Kwik change bond strap 20mm in L/XL size, and I am very happy with my purchase, they even threw in a canvas watch roll which was a super pleasant surprise!!. Build quality and materials used are excellent, also price is very reasonable compared to other brands like Barton or Archer,I would highly recommend for the future and also will be coming back for more. I should've ordered the S/M for my 7.25" wrist but that's my fault. Thank you very much to e...

Mark L.

Great strap; however…would love to see this pattern added to the ribbed collection. 1.3-1.4mm thick with a stiffer texture, some are a little to soft and a watch like the Pelagos FXD doesn’t sit on the wrist as well as it should.

The AlphaShark Blu Lagoon is my favorite strap from BluShark! It's soft and comfortable, features vibrant colors, yet, it's thick and sturdy. It's the perfect blend of style and practicality!

Had some difficulty getting the stainless bracelet off of my Rolex Submariner Date, but after installing the AlphaPremier Silver Fox, it was well worth it. It gave my old Rolex a modern new look.

Customer photo review of AlphaShark Slim - Black/Red Stripe JV Watch Strap

Tara K.

Looks great. Thin enough to fit my Tudor date day cali dial and explorer 2. I point these two out specifically because slim NATOs are necessary for these two models.

This is the Alpha Premier Bond strap, which I love. I also have a couple from the Orca collection and one Original. They’re all extremely well made and a great value. Highly recommended!

Customer photo review of Original - Seafoam Green

John E.

I purchased this 20mm, pastel 'Seafoam Green' strap; just to get something different. It's definitely a band, that you would want to wear in the springtime. It's kind of, on the order of a light, mint-color, to best describe it. It would also work well on a watch with a 'white-faced' dial. This one wears very comfortably like all the original, Blu Shark NATO's. I put it on my low-profile, Citizen Eco-Drive diver.

Jonathan S.

Had my SKX011j in mind as soon as my eyes fell on this 'latte' strap. As all of the AlphaPremier lineup always proves to be this one is soft as can be, looks fantastic, and feels great on-wrist. Pick ya up a 5 pck and get 2 of them for free!

Scott C.

This is THE strap to get if you like the feel of a solid traditional nato strap, not too much extra length, and premium hardware. Just started making my own dials and the Orca is the perfect pairing.

Rob J.

I bought this timed loved the face but it needed a better band to compliment it and last through plenty of outdoor activities as well as casual wear. I’d definitely buy this product again. I also will only buy bands from your company now since I see how great you product was.

Customer photo review of Nautilus One - Desert Khaki Watch Strap

Ronald

A top-quality strap with the usual lightning fast service from Blushark. I ordered on Saturday evening, and took delivery on Monday in Connecticut. My only quibble is that I was expecting a single-pass strap to be shorter than the standard NATOs that I've been modifying by trimming the keeper strap, bobbing the length, and removing the fixed keeper. I still had to do everything except trim the keeper strap with this one.

Customer photo review of AlphaPremier - Rainbow

Ivan A.

I have other NATO straps in more conservative colors and wanted something more vibrant for summer, and this definitely fits the bill. The strap arrived a day earlier than quoted at checkout. The only small thing I noted is one of the adjustment holes wasn't sealed as well as the others and started to fray within a few days of wear. But a quick swipe of a soldering iron sealed it with no issues.

Customer photo review of AlphaPremier - Bond 2021

Randy G.

I saw many good reviews for blushark straps and finally decided to buy one. This review has been on hold so I can use the strap and all I have are good things to say, strap looks amazing and has an amazing feel to it. I haven't had any fraying on the strap even while using it heavily during work and exercise, and if it gets dirty a quick wash with light soap brings it right back to life like new. Highly recommend on quality and looks.

Customer photo review of Original - The Professor

Frank C.

I've been wanting this strap for a while, but it was always sold in a bundle... The Professor has the look of another age like the 1920's or 1940's. It's a great summer strap that has solid buckles and keepers and durable strap material as is the standard BluShark Original straps quality.

Great strap. I would expect nothing less from Blu Shark. It looks great on my Seiko STO Turtle. It will certainly come in handy for the 4th of July weekend! Thank you!

Customer photo review of AlphaShark Slim - Green/Red Stripe JV

C. J.

Perfection. Nice and slim, super comfortable, very durable. Great hardware with sliding keeper. Doesn’t have that shine that many premium NATOs have, so it looks great with military watches. It’s as good as it gets! Would love to see some new colors come out.

I now have quite the collection of BS natos, and they've all been to notch quality. I love both the alphashark and alphapremier lines, and would fully recommend both. If you want a firmer, more robust feeling strap, go with an alphashark. If you prefer a supple, softer strap, go alphapremier. You will not be dissapointed either way. See the pilot noire in the aphashark and vintage bond straps in the alphapremier section for more photos.

Added this strap to my Seiko mod to complete the stealth look I wanted. Ordered with the PVD black hardware and it looks exactly how I wanted it to look. Well done!!

Soft and comfortable strap. Great addition to any strap collection and comparatively, BluShark probably has the best quality of all the strap companies I've tried out. Definitely pleased with my purchase.

Trung

Probably the best NATO strap I've got among all the ones I own. There's stitching on the buckle end to ensure there's more security over time. The buckles are solid and aren't adjustable, but for an 18mm lug, it's not like you really need it. Great quality, excellent coloring and very comfortable.

This Titanium strap is a beauty. The Sharkfin texture gives it a bracelet look. It goes great with either one of my watches. I wish it came in polished finish too, not just brushed.

Great feel on the wrist! Not as stiff as most nylon NATO straps. Color weave with black and blue open up possibilities for use on multiple watches. Would love to see this strap offered with a muted silver stripe to used with the Black Bay 58 in blue.

Maynard R.

I’ve been using the standard NATO straps from Blushark for a while, and thought they were pretty good. This is my first premier NATO strap, and this one goes way beyond the standard. The construction, look, and feel are exponentially stepped up. Definitely gotta buy more of these.

Customer photo review of AlphaShark - Army Green

Marc P.

The only improvement that I would make is that the strap must be a little stiffer. My opinion: these straps are a little too pliable. Yes I know they go for comfort but a little stiffness would not hurt at all. That’s what breaking it in is all about.
