Nice strap, better quality than a lot of other natos out there. Feels very durable!
Bryan C.
This was my first NATO strap. I’d been seeing reviews on YouTube so I thought I’d try one out. Been wearing it for a couple months now, and it’s incredibly comfortable and looks great on my old Seiko 7002. I plan on getting more for this one and my other Seikos as well.

Great quality NATO watch strap
Bryan B.
I had an old watch repaired and cleaned. It turned out so nice, I thought nice band would be in order. I truly found the right stuff with Blushark. The hardest thing is catching the bands when they are in stock.
Adam M.
This was my first nato style strap. Looks awesome on the skx007
Robert L.
It gives an added dimension to this already handsome watch.
Chad G.
I have bought many watch bands for my watches. I can tell you that these BluSharks are in my opinion the best I have ever bought. Highly recommend them. Will be purchasing again soon.
Santiago B.
I am delighted with the purchase and I recommend these straps for their great quality and competitive price. Thanks, greetings from Valencia (Spain)

I had read some good reviews of BluShark so I decided to get an Original BluShark black/gray Bond. It is fantastic. I have bought from a few other brands before and this one is the best so far. Construction seems solid, hardware looks nice, and it looks great with my Seiko SKX007.
Cullen C.
Great quality, huge selection of colors! A definite addition to your watch!
Vincent H.
Looks amazing on my Pontos. What a nice strap!
Przemyslaw
Bond is must have strap for every diver's fan. Rugged nylon with nice shiny surface. I like this kind of nylon fibres weaving. It is maybe more rough but doesn't tend to fry as easy as seat belt type. The best nato strap I've ever had. This is my second BluShark Original strap that is why I share the same opinion as for my Mocha colour.
For sure I will buy another BluShark Original strap in the future.
hung v.
It surprises me excellent quality
Stephen U.
Could be a tiny bit longer so I can do the loop back on itself easier, but the quality is outstanding and the customer service is excellent.
J H.
Perfect with my new Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Auto. Just enough pop without overwhelming the piece. This is less flashy and a good bit classier than I expected.
Jeremy L.
My first Nato strap for my first automatic watch. I can't believe how comfortable this is compared to a metal bracelet. I've been missing out all these years!
John R D.
The original BluShark straps are outstanding. They are well made and I think the hardware is top notch. This particular black and gray Bond version is great on my Seiko Samurai SRPB51.
Chuck H.
The quality of the band is top notch, and the comfort is comparable to the fashion!
Jimmy B.
Love the Bond nato, it really makes the watch stand out, and get lots of compliments! I did purchase the original, but now I wish I had gotten the Alpha Shark instead. I have a few Alpha Shark natos and the quality is better, but the original is still great if you don’t want to spend a little more.
Kenneth B.
These are really great straps. All day comfort, robust hardware and I don't notice the stitching while I'm wearing one. I stumbled across BluShark almost by accident and I'm glad I did. I had horrible experience with a crappy NATO strap and almost swore them off entirely. Thanks to BluShark I only wear NATO straps.
Victor V.
This is the first blushark purchase I made because of the popularity of the bond strap. Once you buy the first one you're hooked. Wound up buying 5 more.
Antonio Danilo D.
CASIO AMW-320C, con cinturino NATO bond, un orologio economico è diventato bellissimo. La qualità del cinturino e l'hardware sono al top. Acquistandone 5 ho fruito della promo con 2 in omaggio e spese di spedizione gratuite. Spedizione in Italia con DHL in 18 giorni. Consigliabile.
Eamonn M.
Adds new life to my old Traser Titanium.
NEAL H.
I wasn't sure how i'd like the Bond Nato strap, but on this Hamilton Khaki Automatic, it looks fantastic.
Adrian B.
Although my package was lost and the 1 month-long delay was painful, to say the least, it was all worth it in the end! This strap fits the wrist like a glove(?) to the point that I can barely feel its presence. The stitching, hardware, length, material, thickness and anything else conceivable is to the both perfectly designed and to the highest standard; certainly beyond what I predicted. This is my first NATO-buying experience and it won't be my last! Blushark I will meet you again very soon! *Big thumbs up*
George T.
Just the basics, Bond style. Great fit and finish from Blushark. It's both understated and outstanding.
Michael W.
At 11", the strap is a little short for my 7.25" wrist. Notice the tiny little loop. Need a 12.5" version! Other than that, this strap is cool.
Jose Jr R.
The quality is superb! Most definitely buying more in the future. Thanks Blu Shark. Cheers
Jesse S.
Color is a little green let grey than real grey, but the quality of the hardware and feel of the fabric is great!
Kordel D.
These bands are a huge step-up from the cheap $10 straps! the stitching, comfort, hardware and looks are far superior to any brand I have experienced yet! Cant say enough good about these Original style straps. Get them, you'll love them!
Marvin M.
The quality of the strap blends well with my Seiko SNZF17. Looking forward to get the next one.
Joshua L.
Love the Bond NATO from BluShark. Soft enough where it doesn’t bother my wrist, but sturdy enough that the watch isn’t flapping around on my arm. Most definitely buying more in the future.
Strap M.
Outstanding strap in every way. Elevates just about every dive watch in my collection. Highly recommended.
Joseph C.
My first NATO was a blushark fir another watch. Later I bought one of those "other" straps for a new watch that advertised themselves as "made to military spec".... needless to say that when I compared it to my first blushark I was very disappointed. I ordered a new blushark for my new watch the next day. The bku shark fits better, has better hardware, andjust plain looks better. I learned my lesson!
Mike R.
I have not found a better clap for a NATO strap. Quality through and through.
Mike T.
I keep coming back for more..
Jesus H.
Excellent customer service, excellent quality. I used to buy the cheaper 4 packs on Amazon, this is 100% better. The quality is superb and is much more appropriate on a nice watch.
Tony A.
Good quality nice looking strap, made a plain looking watch pop.
Tom J.
Turns a $40 Casio into a conversation piece! When I placed my order, I forgot to include my choice of a third, free strap. I sent off an e-mail to Blu Shark on a Monday morning at about 6:20 am EST.
I immediately recieved a very polite return e-mail (within 5-10 minutes), saying that's my third strap would be included and that my parcel would be shipped within a few hours. Talk about service! At 6:30, on a Monday morning! I should also add that the AlphaShark is well worth the premium for how comfortable it wears.
Chris E.
Just tested the 22mm Bond out during a trip to Maui. Surfing, freediving, hot tubbing, even dinner at the Four Seasons; this strap was perfect in every situation. I’m in love.
P.S. Looks best when wet
Sahabooleea M.
The best strap ever. Great comfort and fits well. Love it.
Daniel M.
First nato strap for my Orient Ray I. Quality better than expected,; looks great and so much more comfortable than any other strap I have. Planning to buy more and also would recommend to others looking for nato straps. Look no further, blushark strap is definitely worth buying. My next purchase will be alpha shark.
Mike K.
Love the color and the quality!
Anthony S.
Goes great with my black skx and very comfortable
Sascha M.
I can't say anything bad about this band. It looks amazing on my luminox black out. I ordered 2 of these and totally forgot to get my third, sent an email and Alan responded asked me what color I wanted. Four days later BAM I had my three bands and a happy watch. Thanks BluShark
Gehovany H.
I researched, read reviews, and did my homework before buying this strap. I can't stress enough how satisfied I am! I won't hesitate to buy more!
Norman L.
Just wanted to let you know that I received my "Spectre" Bond strap much earlier than I expected which was fantastic! I think that it's an incredibly well made, stylish strap that elevates my beloved Seiko SKX013 in a very fashion forward manner. I look forward to expanding my collection in the near future and I look forward to purchasing from the Alpha line as well for some of my premium watches.
Ch'ng Yee N.
Perfect fit for a small wrist (4-inch).
Alessandro d.
Great fitting bands and awesome hardware on them.
Michael K.
This is a very good-looking strap. The colors are true to what was advertised on the site, and all edges have been finished nicely so it won’t fray. I love it!
Taishiro G.
I am loving the quality of this NATO strap. It feels sturdy and yet is very comfortable.
I have been wearing it everyday.
Thank you!
Nickolas S.
Great straps! I received one of these as a gift a while back. I've put my first one through the mill and then some, they hold up very well. this is my second Blushark strap and it goes perfectly with my Seiko beater watch. Love the bond pattern. Now if there was only some way to get Joe and his crew to make a navy and grey version, I'd be set! Many thanks to the Blushark team for their quality products and customer service.
Adam L.
Great color combination on my Vostok Amphibian. Feels much better than the original bracelet and I’ve become a huge fan of the safety NATO style provides against accidental lug failure
brian s.
Nice quality, better hardware than other Nato straps and available in 18mm.
Samuel A.
Absolutely superb. Bought another brand and it started fraying on the very first wear. These are well worth the money.
Scott C.
I now have 4 Blu Shark NATO straps and I couldn't be happier.
Ross M.
Great fit for my 18mm watch.
Ritchie C.
Awsome Strap on my SEIKO SZSC005 , quality and comfort all in one and it looks great, cant tell about the longevity. But expect to enjoy it for a long time.
The Alpha slim is ever so slightly more comfortable, because of the softer material but this is in my opinion the better value.
Highly recommended!
Yavor A.
Excellent quality, especially considering the price. Looks beautiful on my workhorse Seiko military watch with black fave and white hands. Highly recommend Blushark straps to anyone. Wish I can try the Alphashark line but unfortunately they didn’t offer them in 18mm size... The buckle and loops are mate and high quality too. In few words - excellent strap that is easily comparable with a lot more expensive straps. Cudos to Blushark team for the effort and passion that they put in that and all of their products. Thank you guys
Lisette S.
Nice and sturdy. The buckle is amazing and well made. It looks like it would last for a very long time.
Cameron B.
Absolutely looks the goods on my Omega. Quality is a step above similarly priced NATOs
John P.
I Was looking for a 24mm black & grey strap to match my watch and found it. Great price and quality!
Ken H.
This strap looks and feels dramatically more expensive than it is. Looks wonderful on my Speedmaster, and the brushed hardware is a welcome option compared to the polished option you often have.
Eric M.
Just what I wanted in a Bond esque strap. It's a little on the stiff side but just needs breaking in. Feels very durable.
Jeffrey C.
This is my favorite strap for the Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph. Very comfortable to wear on my 6 and 3/4" wrist and has broken in quickly for an even better fit.
Henry K.
I bought three straps in different colors. I LOVE the quality and comfort of these straps. BluShark’s communication and processing/shipping speed has earned their place as my go-to shop for watch straps!
Tsuriel A.
This is all I expected a nato strap to be and more, it's comfortable, lightweight and feels durable as if it will last me years. Without a doubt not my last one!
Steven M.
These straps are Great! The only straps that are better is the AlphaSharks that I got on my first order from BluShark. I can't wait to try the other collections! Thanks, Joe.
Valdemars M.
Great quality and customer service, as always. That is the reason I have 15 BluShark straps now and plan to buy some more in future.
Dan K.
Per the usual, you can see from my reviews that I won't go anywhere else. Joe is onto a quality affordable product; one which is a product that will complement any watch! The bond is a classic and versatile.
Valdemars M.
Highly recommended, if you can't choose between this and Alpha, you can buy this without a doubt. It's thinner, it has better hole placement, and it still looks fantastic!
Hardware is top quality, buckle is same as those on Alphas.
Gene L.
This is a great NATO strap that is soft and sturdy, with a prominent buckle that feels very secure. however, i did not give it give stars because the pin of the buckle is slightly crooked. It aligns itself when worn so it's not really a big issue, just a minor gripe i have about the qc.
Alex T.
I'm now officially a BluShark aficionado. I've had a ton of NATO straps over the years and was not expecting anything remarkable when I ordered a few, but the quality is exceptional all around. Great fabric, great hardware, great stitching, and the square heat-sealed holes are nothing short of brilliant, solving the Achilles' heel of most NATO straps, the holes wearing and stretching. I won't be buying NATOs from anyone else going forward, period.
Ian M.
I bought 3 NATO straps in different colours. Just about to choose again A+
Lanny S.
A classic on a classic.
Lanny S.
Trying it on my new 'Japan' 777. Awesome as usual, though I still think you should make a mid range model with the nicer Alpha hardware and the regular material :)
William E.
This strap is amazing. The hardware is where it truly shines. I put this strap on my daily driver and couldn't be happier. Thanks Joe.
michal a.
i love it and the service was great!
Craig D.
Great experience so far with this NATO. It fits all of my applications as it's thin enough to fit through even my tightest springbar clearances, but thick enough to keep heavy watch heads from flopping about. And the hardware is second to none!
Great product Joe! Keep up the good work!
David S.
The hardware is what really sets these apart from others!
Kyle B.
The strap is very high quality nylon and the polished buckle and hardware on the strap is very high polished stainless steel
Almethus G.
the quality of the strap is great and very comfortable to my wrist. the only that i have complain about is that it is sort of misleading on what you get compare to what they have in photo. i have the NATO BOND strap PVD and from what the picture, it looks like im suppose to get the one with rectangular adjustment hole with rectangular buckle tongue but instead i got a circle ones. i dont mind having it but it wouldve been nice if it was clear as to which one im getting. overall, very satisfied with strap.
Mitchell K.
Excellent straps. Class-up any watch.
Jayson L.
Honestly, I've never really been a "watch" guy, until I made the mistake (Like many of us I'm sure) of coming across The Urban Gentry via YouTube....and his incredible collection of the now infamous NATO strap(s). That started me looking at entry level watches, then pulling the trigger on a J1 variety direct from Japan. Well, no watch can be complete without the bond strap! This thing wears great and looks equally good. I've ordered 10-11 more since...
Stephen G.
Fantastic quality NATO Strap from BluShark,
had a problem with delivery carrier in Germany which was no fault of BluShark, spoke to the owner Joe, who quickly sent another order out to me, without fuss, great guy and great company, highly recommended.Fantastic quality Nato Strap from BluShark,

carlo j.
Great quality strap that goes well with most watches. Looks nice on my Seiko SRP775. 22mm polished.
Dr D.
Awesome strap. I have purchased straps for all my watches. Love this company. Best aftermarket nato straps around!
laurent m.
perhaps the only better thing than the product itself, was the service i received from Joe. I'm anxious to try the alpha next. thank you Joe !
Dan T.
Very nice strap, we love it.
Dan T.
I like this nato strap, strap is soft, feel comfortable with my watch, my watch is heavy( Omega seamaster 45.5), quality of strap is good, buckles are stainless steel.
Stephen M.
Loving the NATO straps. They look great on all my watches.
Nikola R.
Had this strap for 2 months.
It is very comfortable and durable.
Brushed hardware matches my SKX007 perfectly.
Wore this nato in the ocean, pool, shower and when working out in the gym and no sign of wear.
KazuYoshi A.
It changes a mood of my watch!
Will L.
I have the original steel bracelet and a natural rubber band but the Bond just flat out looks the best!
Thanks Joe!
Emilio Y.
Is a pleasure to do business with Joe. Quality and durability of the strap is great. I love the look of my magrette with the bond strap
Connor D.
I had purchased this item and I had thought it would be your run of the mill watch strap. How far away from the truth I was, one of my friends whom has a submariner is dieing to buy one. I'll tell you the same thing that I told him there is no reason not to buy these straps the quality is sublime and the overall durability is solid. The overall look and style is of its own kind, there's no better strap then a shark strap.
joshua n.
Very cool, much better than a cheap metal bracelet. even ones that come on a couple hundred dollar watches. clasps and hardware are probably better than I would have expected.
John P.
Once again; a great band.
