undefined review of Cordura - Deep Sky Blue image 1 out of 1

James T.

I have spent considerable time, looking at dozens of watch bands at dozens of websites, literally. But when I came across this watch strap by Blue Shark, I ordered it with the hope that It would be a close match. As you will see in the video, it is practically a perfect match! And, you’ll also see in the sunlight during the video, that it looks pretty spectacular! So, needless to say, not even the watch manufacturer had anything close to this color, and I finally discovered it when I entered in ...

Affordable and super fast shipping. All straps are sturdy and long lasting. Worn it scuba diving, tubing down rocky rivers, and romping around kids softball and baseball practice. Love it.

Harold L.

The watch strap equivalent of my favorite sweatpants. Ultra-comfortable and very attractive - just stretchy enough to have a little "give," but doesn't sag or slip. I went back and ordered it a several more colors. If I didn't have so many Blushark straps already, I would have ordered every color and color combination!

Erik B.

Excellent strap. A bit thicker than my other nato’s, it pairs well with my heavier watches. Comfortable and doesn’t cut into my wrist like some of the thinner straps. Hardware is beefier than others and feels very well made. A nice blue, just right.

undefined review of Alpha2 Kwik Change - Bond Watch Strap image 1 out of 1

Karl L.

A great advantage of the Alpha2 is on a thick watch like my Lunar Pilot, it provides a thinner profile. Coming in with a 13.5mm case the Lunar Pilot is hard enough to fit under a sleeve, adding an AlphaPremier brings that to about 16mm thick. Fine in the Summer, but not so much in the Winter under a coat and 1 or 2 additional layers. The Alpha2 makes all the difference. Kudos again BluShark.

Karl L.

Another winner, comfortable and easy to install. I particularly like the solid color straps because they are slightly thinner than the multicolor ones like the Bond. This goves a really nice low profile especially if you have a slim or ultra slim watch.

I am a big fan of the AlphaPremier NATO staps, I own several, but there are times when they are too much and overpower a watch. That was the case with my Precisionist Langford (pictured on the right). I thought I would try out an Alpha2 and I'm very happy I did. The Alpha2 is every bit as comfortable and has a less clutered look, great for a simpler non-tool watch. My only suggestion for improvement would be for BluShark to offer a choice of buckles like polished or black PVD.

Patrick M.

With my new Seiko 5 SSK, I knew I wanted to use a NATO strap rather than the supplied stainless bracelet. I checked several options, but settled on a pair of orange stripe and black BluShark Alpha Premier straps. After comparing the two on the watch, it was a clear choice to go with the Clownfish strap. It looks great with the watch, and is very comfortable to wear. The folks at BluShark were great to work with, and I couldn't be happier!

Cary R.

I have over 25 BluShark NATO watch straps. I love the Original BluShark collection and have a few AlphaShark straps. My most recent purchase included the Ryder Cup watch strap from the Original collection. While I appreciate the Ryder Cup, I purchased the strap in honor of my daughter who is a Freshman at Samford University. These colors will look great on move-in day and subsequent college visits. Thank you for making a great quality strap. I wear one every day with my Hamilton Khaki Automati...

The Orca Raider looks great with my Casi Oak. I like the stiff strap, the ruggedness is what I wanted for the G-Shock. I also like the heavy buckle and how it contours to my wrist.

Love the single pass nature of it, love the thinness and love the color scheme which pairs well with many of my watches. Right now, looking mighty fine on my Alpinist.

Muhammad S.

Love the look of this colorway more than I thought I would. Bought it as a backup to the more modern looking Bond strap more as a curiosity, but I think I like it more. It has a bit of personality. And the pop of colors go well with this winter season. Very happy with this.

John R.

These straps really change the whole look and feel of your watch. It's my new go to band for my collection. I never liked the small leather bands for some of my watches, these new nato straps make me want to wear the watches all the time.

Taylor P.

This strap is perfect! The center stripe matches the faux patina lume markers exactly, and that deep rich cardinal color really pops with the white dial of my khaki field mechanical. I will definitely be getting more straps for my watch from here

What a great ”surprise”. Turned this inexpensive watch into something I wear regularly. If I put ithe strap on another watch I may never wear this one again. Strap is very versatile, goes with many different watches/faces.

These Cordura straps are amazingly comfortable. Yes, they are straight and stiff out of the box, but just bend 'em up a lil, throw them on and be amazed! The olive color is great, but the rust...just get one, or three!

I've had my order for a week now and I absolutely love the fit, feel and comfort of these blu shark straps. The quality of these straps is instantly noticeable, they feel solid not like the flimsy cheap amazon straps ive purchased in the past, they also have quick release bars which make switching in and out of straps a breeze. I bought straps for all my moon swatches as (pictured) and they look brilliant, Everyone has been complimenting the strap/watch combinations. Once you place the order The...

Comfortable, light and flexible. After several weeks of use, it still looks new. Looks great, wears great. An affordable option to freshen up the look of my Sealander. 10/10 would recommend!

This is my first 20mm strap from BluShark for my Breitling Colt Automatic II. But I already have 12 more of the 22mm straps for my larger watches. I’m wearing this everywhere! Buying these from BluShark gives you so many different looks at an affordable price. They’re so easy to swap out too. None of that would matter if the quality was lacking. But these straps are so well made. Solid hardware and quality materials. Anyway, just get some. You’ll love them!

Donald M.

Really like this strap! Elastic is nice but I also like the fact that the buckle is nicer and more stylish than what’s found on most NATO straps, and same with the 2 keepers (one is even moveable). I also like the fact that the metal is brushed and the buckle is signed. One more thing: the design is such that the strap doesn’t sit under the watch, so it doesn’t make the watch sit higher like most NATO straps. Easily the best NATO strap I’ve ever purchased!

Amazing straps! I’ve been a fan since Joe started straps and have over 50 of them. The new woven single pass straps are the most comfortable next to the alpha I’ve ever worn. Do yourself a favor and buy three or more and don’ look back.

Great quality and look. If Redford had this strap on the SKX175 in All Is Lost, he might’ve been rescued in the first 15 minutes of the movie! Highly recommended.

Rein G.

This is the watch band that inspires me to wear this ECA Poseidon Tool Watch. The band ms color combination, the brushed nickel, sewn in hoops and the quality buckle all say “quality!” I wore this watch before with a black Italian rubber band, and a Forstner brushed bracelet ($125)…nobody ever commented on it. This combination, was immediately noticed by someone that their first glance “was a quality automatic watch!” And it is! BlueShark is tops in my book!

Strap literally looks like it was made for the watch. The originals are solid straps, a bit stiff at first but soften some with wear. Seem sturdy enough to last. Also, big thanks to the BluShark team for handling my exchange with no issues or hassle.

I used to spend time deciding on bracelet or strap? when ordering a watch. Now I don’t because I know the watch will end up on a BluShark strap. This one is the best yet!

Like the old saying, “When the teacher becomes the student.” I’m getting to the point with BluShark watch straps that I look to purchase a watch to match the strap and not the other way around. Great again BluShark team!

So far so good!! I spent a fair amount of time shopping online for the right band for me and I’m really pleased with this one. Easy to attach and very comfortable. The buying experience was easy with a quick delivery. Hope this makes it through a salt water filled summer in Rhode Island!!

This strap is really growing on me. Much higher quality than I was expecting. Excellent design with a wide buckle clasp and squared off adjustment holes. Should prevent excessive wear and tearing during hard use.

I’m in the UK so took a punt on Blueshark straps a while ago. Fantastic quality for the price with excellent fittings. I wanted a grey Bond for my Tudor Pelagos and knew there was only one place to go! I’ve paid for custom straps from all over ( have around 100 now!)these straps are quite simply the best and will be my go to in future, packaging and lead time is excellent- buy them

I was looking for a better band for this Timex Expedition Scout. A band that was more comfortable. This band was just what I wanted. The materials are top notch. Looks great and feels great. This is the first Nato style I have owned. Will be buying again when needed.

Wilson T.

Love the watch band! I've got it on my Garmin Fenix 6 solar, and it is by FAR a better choice than the stock band, which was silicone, never felt quite tight enough, and would sometimes rub the skin of my wrist raw. Probably voided any kind of warranty because I had to remove the bars that came with this strap because the holes on my watches lugs were a little too wide, but that's on me. This watch is my everyday wear, so it gets banged up, but I feel very confident this strap will live up t...

Really, really nice strap. The construction is super solid and the ribbed stitching gives it a nice visual interest. It is a large strap, but the smallest hole fits my small wrist.

Jason S.

Got this to match the bezel on my Citizen EcoDrive Diver (pictured) - it matches beautifully and is very comfortable. As with a lot of NATO straps, I'm a bit between sizes so still on the fence about wearing it (too tight is eventually uncomfortable and too loose slides around all day). This is no fault of the well-made and attractive strap, however. I used a drill bit to widen the tighter hole and it does help make the tighter fit (one hole too far) more comfortable. As a side note, I made...

Didn't really know what to expect but like the look of a waffle strap so tried it out. It looks great on my Citizen Eco-Drive Diver (pictured), much better than the original strap, and I am currently wearing it on a Seiko Marine Master 200 (which came with a very nice silicone strap, but I actually like this one better). From looking at photos, this appears to be the same strap, or likely made by the same company, that Uncle Seiko uses and that strap is rated very highly. As a side note, i ma...

Great product! Own both the original blushark strap and now this alpha shark. The quality of the Alpha is worthy of the step up in price. Quality is excellent for the price. Highly recommended.

Matt E.

I have purchased Alpha shark bands before for my previous watch and was very impressed with fit, feel and durability. But Alpha Premier is a cut above the rest, something really special. I got the buy 2 get one free and matched up the Alpha Shark blu charcoal and bond strap with polished hardware. For the Alpha Premier I went with midnight blue, premium brushed, in 22mm. The sheen and the smoothness of the weave is exceptional and a perfect match for my new watch. Thanks again Joe and BluShark...

The price of this NATO had me a little hesitant but with the buy 2 get one free plus a 15% discount I decided to try it. I have to say I am impressed by this NATO. Very comfortable, very well made, and it looks great! I own NATO straps from other brands but BluShark straps are by far my new favorite. I I will be ordering more.

AlphaPremier Bond 2021 NTTD on my Luminox Titanium SEAL: a perfect match. Stylish and serviceable, this is a great combination. BluShark should make more of these in 22mm AlphaShark pattern too. I would have preferred the slightly thicker nylon, but the Premier works well on this lightweight watch. An excellent NATO strap.
