Massey, C.

Love this strap. I had previously tried a regular NATO that was non elastic and wasn’t digging the feel. I tried this pajama strap and it is so comfortable! They are also so easy to change out!

I've bought watch bands from other places but they don't compare in quality to BluShark watch bands. The buckles and hardware are the best Ive seen. Looks great on my blue Coral Seiko monster!

The pattern on the strap feels like modernist art. It is graphically cool — yet at the same time it exudes warmth. The strap is extremely comfortable. It doesn't bite into the skin, which can be a problem with other brands. I should also mention that dealing with Blu Shark has been a real pleasure. They let you know when they receive the order and when it is shipped out. Which is to say, they put the customer first.

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

Like all leather straps they were pretty stiff when I first put them on, but they only took a day to break in and they are very comfortable to wear.

Put this NATO on a watch I don't wear too often and now I feel like I have a whole new piece. Love the way a good quality strap can rejuvenate an older watch.

Great color combination, decent quality for the $20 range NATOs out there. I like how the orange disrupts the monochromatic mood of gray and black. I think it looks great on my Hamilton W10 Pilot Pioneer.

I was a little concerned since this was a lighter weight than my other straps. There doesn't seem to be any reason to be concerned. It might be a little thinner and lighter, but it still seems very strong and well made. It is very comfortable also. I'm not worried while wearing it on my old Timex Expedition. Great match with the cream dial. Thanks Blu Shark!

I had always heard that Blu Shark was a great quality strap, and these straps did not disappoint. Heavy duty, but not too bulky, especially if you wear it with just one layer under the watch. The redundant safety feature is still intact when worn this way. I think this strap was a perfect match for my Seiko "Save The Ocean" Turtle. Thanks, Blu Shark!

Great quality and seems to be very secure. Heavy duty strap, but broke in quickly. Doesn't raise the height of the Seiko SKX013 case, like conventional nato straps. Highly recommended.

Matt D.

Great strap. The color looked exactly how I expected it to look. Cream is a great and compatible color with most watches. My 1950's Tudor Oyster Prince didn't have an original strap, and this NATO gave it new life. The quality is also very good: it has not frayed whatsoever. At this price point you can't really go wrong. However, if you have a odd-numbered lug width (this Tudor is 19mm), you are going to have to choose between slightly too thick (20mm) or slightly too thin (18mm). It really isn'...

The strap is awesome! You get what you see! It’s make the big dive watches lighter and feel more secure! The material is very good to however it does slightly fray at the ends but some trimming and it’s fine! I love the endless color options! Blushark really killed it out of the water with this design! Thank you! I’m looking forward to many more alpha straps!

Got this to add to my collection of natos as they're my favorite type of watch strap. The fabric is a lot softer than I was expecting yet its still quite sturdy. Its made its home on my 12 year old Luminox as its original strap had just broken on me the other day.

It goes great with my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical. It is very, very soft, yet durable. I wear it quite often. The only down side I have found is that it holds water for a long time if it gets wet, due to its dense weave.

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!

I love this strap, it is made of the right material (seatbelt type) and has the right length to tuck the tail back into the two stainless retainers with a tiny bit left over. It has a good amount of adjustment since I gain and loose weight with the seasons. Best of all, it matches perfectly with my Longines Heritage Skin Diver.

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.

Love this strap, I bought three the same in different colour combos, will order more shortly. Btw, I always cut my NATO’s down to single past, just my personal preference, but he’s a shot before o trimmed it on an old modded SKX, looks awesome!

Seth R.

Purchased for a blue Orient Kamasu. I had a brown strap that I did not love the looks of with this watch. I purchased several from Blueshark - hard to resist the buy 2 get 1 free deal, and they all look great. I especially like this black one with the light stitching - the strap is nice and thick, but still plenty comfy, and it looks great with the steel case and blue dial of the Kamasu.

The Alpha-Slim guarantees wear comfort through its supple,flexible and slim design.Attributed to the subtle stitched-on “red” line running through the middle of the strap, it adds a touch of sophistication and allure to the watch. I am happy with my purchase.

This is my first 3 ring single pass band & I was impressed with how good this band supports a heavy & large watch. The band conforms to your wrist & keeps the watch from rotating on the wrist. It's also very good looking.

Ordered 7 straps at 40% (one is missing and I emailed them about it, but I digress). The others were neutral and all great, but this one really pops and I think I like it the best. Smooth, strong, and easy to install. Long on my wrist, but my man will really love it when he opens it this Christmas. <3

I put this strap on my Swatch x Omega Jupiter Moonswatch, and it's a perfect replacement for the original strap. It's much more comfortable than the original strap and I had a variety of colorways to choose from to match my new watch.

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.

Liston K.

Most NATOs (on me) are always just shy of fitting perfectly so elastic seemed like a no brainer. Love the texture and color. It’s just stretchy enough for me. Although I would like to see it little bit tougher . The hole I use frayed a little in the first couple of days. But if it meant sacrificing some of the elasticity I’d say keep it as is. Just ordered another one within a week or so of the first. Never done that before very satisfied.

The heavy this orca is great for heavier watches which are not flush and sometime tip or pull. The orca band helps to keep the watch fixed and helps reduce irritation to the wrist caused by excessive watch movement on the wrist.

Marc J.

Material and color selection was decent. Though I’m a bit worried that the holes have begun fraying. It can be fixed by running a touch of flame or torch just to seal them again. I hope there will be black buckles soon and a darker shade of the Tan. Dark Tam maybe. Also a minor thing, for the black strap, I was hoping it would have a black patch underneath as well instead of skin tone. The same goes for the Armadillo Gray. Other than that, love everything else.

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 ...

Adel B.

I recently purchased a Seiko SPB145 diver, which comes with a steel bracelet. I love the bracelet but was looking for a NATO strap to change things up a little. The dial has this amazing warm champagne-grey finish which is not very commonly seen in watches so it was hard to find a color that would complement it well. Luckily the black and pyrite striped strap complements the dial and the watch perfectly!

Can’t believe just what an improvement this is over my last NATO strap. The look and feel is in another league. The first day I wore it I actually had to check my wrist three or four times because I couldn’t feel the watch on my wrist. If you’ve tried NATOs in the past and were disappointed or if you want to revamp your watch collection without buying another watch, then buy a couple of these.
