This is my first NATO strap. They are very comfortable and easy to swap out.
Baris U.
Excellent, the quality is better than expected
Duane H.
This strap is awesome. I will be buying more!
Michael T.
Bond strap on my Khaki King. Superb!
David W.
The clasp hardware is still a bit tight, but the comfort, fit, and finish of this band is outstanding. I think it looks great on wrist and watch.
Gordon M.
Nice. Comfortable. Worth the money.
matthew k.
the strap is nice i have 8 straps now and also got a couple of people in the office to buy them too! I made the mistake of buying the polished buckle when all of my other straps are brushed but apart from that I am really happy with it
Chan D.
pleasant experience, prompt customer service and fast delivery!

Very well constructed strap and buckle.
Kevin O.
Magnificent strap, that's very comfortable on the wrist, and looks great on my Pro Diver Limited Edition.
Oleksandr K.
Love the strap! The quality is great! Reasonable pricing.
Efthymios M.
That is a beautiful Bond Nato Strap for my Japanese Domestic Satellite Wave Citizen F900. It was a really nice update for my watch. I am really happy!
PS. I only had some issues using credit cards from Nordic Banks as any payment attempts from them to Blushark were declined - luckily the transaction went smooth through PayPal.
Anthony V.
It looks nice and I loved it at first but now it’s starting to fray like crazy not even a month later. Not at all what I expected and I bought 3....
Zong Han H.
I think the nato srarp is JUST fit in the style.
John R.
Wish it was a tad bigger for my chubby wrist but by far the best straps out there.
David B.
The look of the newer Bond strap as seen in the Movie Spectre works perfect with my Marathon GSAR. Love the seatbelt type material that's a little thicker and smooth. Highest quality brushed stainless buckle and links to finish it off. Highly recommend if you're looking for a NATO strap.
Lee R.
It looks great especially with the black buckle and keepers!
Ralf C.
New to NATO straps but am a big fan of this one. Looks amazing on my Seiko Black Monster, is comfortable but strong and of superior quality. Will definitely get some more straps from BluShark.
Thomas W.
Beautiful colors and excellent quality!
Chris S.
Superb quality, particularly the hardware. A perfect strap for my Marathon TSAR medium, the brushed finish matches perfectly.
Sophat N.
Second NATO purchased from blushark. These straps are tried and true. Love em.
Roger W.
Excellent strap. Perfect thickness.
John M.
Very high quality strap. The nylon is the best I’ve seen and the hardware looks very tough. I’ve never had a two piece strap before and I’m not wild about it - I know now that I prefer Zulu-style one-piece straps. Doesn’t take anything away from BluShark though!
Mateusz M.
I love this strap!
Petar S.
Great quality,as always, tuff and reliable.
michael l.
Although smooth like a vehicle seat belt, it frayed in the square holes that the buckle inserts into, frayed immediately upon the first usage-snags on my suits and shirts. Also frayed at the end when attempting to fold it over to insert into the keeper. It's like having your fingernail snag on a shirt or other article of clothing. Annoying to say the least-plus at a $30+ price tag.
I've owned Crown and Caliber Heavy Duty straps for years-and although not as refined as this Blu Shark, they are much more resilient. I've used the same C&C Bond band for two years and it is standing-up better than the Blu Shark at twice the price and with 5% as much actual usage.
Bought the Blu Shark to put on a newly acquired timepiece-
Leaning toward going back to my Crown and Caliber band-
Too bad-looks sharp with the watch!
Vinicio F.
Worth the $$$, do it. Excellent quality!
Larry C.
My SKX007 looks and feels great on the AlphaShark Bond strap.
Pierre L.
Too nice with my Seiko SKX007!
I have tried several straps, but this one is perfect!
Johnathan R.
I have been using this strap on my modded SKX007 (Bond strap on a 007 - how cool is that?) and it looks great. It is super comfortable and the quality is really good.
M D.
Wow, phenomenal! Terrific quality NATO, and the look I wanted, to dress up my Seiko SBDC061, which is my new favorite watch, made even more enjoyable to wear, with this excellent NATO. Professional, comfortable, and a classic look, giving a break from the bracelet. Excellent hardware, perfect length. I've found my new place to buy straps!
Robert N.
Excellent quality & compliments my watch perfectly!!
Frederic M.
Nice look with my MM200.
Sidharth M.
I have bought NATO Straps from other retailers. But this is by far the best quality. It's soft yet strong. The weave is dense. BluShark really lives up to its name and quality
Damian K.
I was shocked because watch straps are very high quality. I will definitely buy in the future BluShark's straps.
Rhory A.
Great quality, good selection, good price, good values all around.
Alexander G.
I sincerely love your straps! The wormanship is amazing. They gave my watches a complete new look. Excellent quality. I will be placing another order soon.
Reginald A.
The strap is quality made and the weave is pretty tight. Also the buckle and keepers are very sturdy. I like the look of the strap quite a bit but it is definitely too thick. It digs into my wrist when I wear it unless it is incredibly loose making the watch swing around. I got the regular strap as well and I like that one much better. Will have to get the bond nato either as the normal version or try the thin premium one. Nonetheless still pretty good if you are specifically look for a very thick strap.
Bill A.
Why are they so long. I have average size wrist. Don’t like to have to fold over excess. Don’t want to cut as the cut will be fairly close to last hole.
Mario M.
Looks great feels great for everyday use.
Easy to install, light weigh, very comfortable.
Purchase two one the everyday watch and the other for my dress watch.
Love them bands.
Shashi N.
Love the Bond strap. Thank you
Mark J.
Great nato strap. Nice, silky feel with a tough weave. Perfect for comfort and durability.
My only gripe is that I can't get the "18mm" AlphaShark or Premiere in a larger variety of color combos. The 18mm selection is too limited.
Chad J.
Nice nato strap worth the buy 2 get one free deal.
David W.
Like it... would buy again
Rob P.
Love the silk like texture and robustness of the build and hardware. Must more luxurious than I expected in a NATO strap.
Bring out more unique colors and I think these straps will truly become the industry standard.
Joseph L.
Very nice quality band.
Nathaniel L.
Just buy it. Cant go wrong with quality and price
Edward H.
Just returned from my morning jog and was fortunate I was wearing a long sleeve shirt. The pin holding the buckle portion on my brand new AlphaShark-Bond-22mm-/Premium Brushed/Black fell out. After trying repeatedly to reattach it, I am now left with an unusable band. I have ordered several watchbands from you in the past and all have proven to be durable, reliable and exceeded my expectations. This is an unacceptable failure in an otherwise well designed watchband.
I"m surprised to discover the buckles of your watchbands are attached using just spring loaded watch pins. This defeats one of the main advantages of the NATO strap design. If one watch pin were to break, the watch will still remain attached to the strap preventing the watch from being lost. The way you attach the buckles creates a weak link in the strap and is a poor design. This method may be cheaper and easier, however, a solid bar across the width of the buckle, similar to the way the keepers are attached would be far better and give the wearer greater peace of mind. Unfortunately, I will now be constantly concerned with the strap being secure around my wrist. Not good!
You have since agreed to replace the band but are out of stock in the brushed finish. So I am now waiting for it to ship.
Bogdan N.
Comfortable and durable, great fit and finish the buckle.
i will recommend to all!
Paul
Excellent strap - far exceeded my expectations!
Don D.
I have few of the Alpha Shark straps and if pressed I would give them a 4.9 stars because of one small factor... The rectangular holes for the buckle pin fray faster than any strap I have that has round holes... I'm not sure as to the mechanics of why this is so but never the less it happens to every one , plus my Barton Jetson's too... Also if the holes were marginally closer together, maybe one more hole across the same span, they would fit a little better... BUT other than that small gripe the Blushark Alphas are terrific. The material is just right and the hardware and buckle are my absolute favorite! Plus my Sea Shark looks great on a Alpha Shark Bond!!!
Giampaolo P.
Prima eserienza con Blu Shark dopo tanti cinturini NATO di vari livelli di qualità.
Mi dispiace non averli conosciuti prima: avrei risparmiato un pò di soldi.
Ho acquistato 3 AlphaShark con l'offerta prendi 3 e paghi 2 + 15% di sconto + trasporto gratis: impossibile comprare 3 cinturini della stessa qualità alla stessa cifra.
La consistenza è perfetta: sufficientemente rigidi da sopportare orologi di una certa dimensione e allo stesso tempo morbidi e flessibili per il massimo comfort.
Unico suggerimento per Joe: prova un grigio meno brillante sul Bond classico.
Certamente acquisterò ancora da Blu Shark,
Jason L.
Very high quality Nato strap wirh great buckles
Bernard R.
Awesome strap. I’ve had a few NATO straps and this is the best one by far! Very nice strap material, stitching is neat and comfortable and hardware is sturdy.
KEN T.
fantastic and very versatile...
Tyler V.
Didn’t like the nato style so I returned the band. Return was delivered on 11/2/18 but I still have not received a refund
Reinold D.
Happy with the result. My Shogun looks even better now.
Conor W.
Best nato I have ever felt. Very comfortable
Vic O.
Great Product! Very High Quality Material and Design ! Fast Delivery! Highly Recommended!
David E.
Looks and feels great
John H.
The AlphaShark Luxury NATO straps are my overall favorite BluSharks, watchbands, and NATOs. Great color and texture consistency. The band does not pull hairs, holes hold up well, and is long enough to fit my 7.75" wrist without having to tuck in the end of the strap. The band is a little stiff at first, but breaks in pretty quickly after a couple days of wear. The 22mm fits great on my Seiko SKX007J Diver, and both the brushed and polished hardware match well. My one and only suggestion to BluShark would be to stitch the "floating" keeper. That in no way detracts from the quality, but I like how both keepers are stitched on my BluShark Orcas. I actually prefer the AlphaShark Luxury over the AlphaPremier Ultra Luxury. The AP is very comfortable and of superb quality, but the added rigidity (for lack of a better word - it is very comfortable) of the AS is more comfortable with my Seiko Diver and makes the watch seem less top-heavy. The AP would definitely outshine the AS on a lighter, slimmer watch, like a dress watch of some type. (I'll be copying this review to the pictures of the other AlphaSharks I have - same review applies to all of them).
Rodney B.
Awesome NATO strap! Very pleased with it and received positive feedback from my posts on FB!
Flemming J.
Looks great on my Omega seamaster 300 professionel - and fells very comfortable
Ashley W.
Fantastic looking strap and the premium brushed hardware looks amazing. Really love the deep colours and the darker grey on the stripe works perfectly against the brushed case on my watch. Also super quick delivery to the UK - all round a great buy - thanks Blushark!
Gordon S.
Perfect strap. Thick, a nice bit of shine, and much nicer than the junky average nato strap. Feels like quality. Dresses up the old Juggernaut!
Bryan M.
Dress up or down, works either way!
Leo P.
I bought 3 straps, 2 for the Hamilton Khaki mechanical and 1 for the Tissot Heritage 1936. Quality is great for all 3. Will definitely get more!!!
Daniel D.
Absolutely love my BluShark Aplha Shark Nato! I makes my (daily beater /work watch)Seiko SNEO95 Solar Field Watch look like a whole different watch! The seat belt material in the webbing & the polished hardware are all Top Notch and the Alpha Shark Nato is the most comfortable Nato I’ve used! Period! Thanx Blu Shark!!
John B.
I will definitely be buying some more for my other watches
Daniel N.
Beautiful strap , high quality ,
Daniel N.
Sweet strap , great quality , and great service to match
Jack G.
I purchased a few straps for my IWC Mark XVIII a number of weeks ago and have wanted to see how well they held up over time. I purchased at least one strap from almost every range and am happy to say that each one not only looks fantastic and compliments the watch, but they are all very hard-wearing and comfortable. Blushark are the first NATOs I have tried on this watch and will probably be the last. I will eventually post pictures of each of my straps, but for now, here’s a quick holiday snap of my Alpha Shark ‘Bond’. Looks great on the beach or for going out in the evening. Highly recommended!
Matthew R.
Love this one. Goes perfectly with my Orient Captain. I will definitely buy more in the future!
Sven R.
Looks great, same quality as much more expensive NATO straps at a fraction of the price.
David H.
Very nice stap. Still waiting for the watch I bought it for to arrive...then I'll have a pic for ya.
Justin R.
I bought my bond NATO Strap to go on my new Stowa Flieger GMT and I couldn’t be happier with it!
Sergio R.
As great as it gets for a high quality Bond Nato! Just perfect :)
Andrew J.
Much softer than I originally expected, and the metal components feel firm and durable. It also doesn’t feel like anything will fray (unlike a few of my other NATOs). I’ll definitely be picking up another in the future.
Piyawat S.
Best Quality Strap
Shaked D.
One picture worth thousend words... Looks outstanding
Robert C.
Bond would be proud to wear this strap. It's my go to strap. Material is soft yet strong and comfortable. hardware is top notch.
Brenden G.
In one week the hole I used got frayed. I tried burning the frayed strands and it seems to have worked. Very nice, soft comfortable material, but it is not as durable as the Original BluShark. Even so, I was happy to put the Alpha Shark back on my watch. It does look and feel just a bit better.
Andrew S.
I purchased three straps being the AlphaShark and two regular ones. As much as I liked the regular straps, the difference in material was noticeable. The different, finer, weave looked premium and felt softer. Not necessarily any more comfortable, but looked great. In future I will probably just purchase the AlphaShark. I think it's worth the money.
Gadi Y.
My AlphaShark Bond is going strong after almost 2 (two) years of everyday wear and vacational swimming/snorkeling.
You, guys, spoiled me with this quality. Please carry on ...
Ryan P.
Was thinking the highest quality of straps would be slightly more durable. Wish I would have went with another orca model. I’m having tons of frays happening and constantly having to burn the ends of the strap to prevent more from happening. Maybe it was just a bad batch but I’ll most like go with the original or orca again
Roger V.
I just can't say enough about the quality of these straps!
Tom B.
Hey Joe
I don’t do social media but I’ve returned to Blushark simply because the Alpha is THE best nato on the planet.
And I’ll be back again sometime,
TB
Alfonso G.
It’s a very good strap. I’m really happy with it.
Eric S.
This NATO is excellent in not only quality of materials, construction and comfort its also a great looking band that can be worn with a large range of watches. This strap can be worn to dress up an old beater or with a nice dress watch like bonds Omega or your Seiko ,citizens or whatever you choose to wear. The only caveat I have is I wish it was a little longer just a hair.
Norman L.
I needed MORE straps and I was curious about the difference in their Alpha line and I have to say - and the pictures prove it - the Alpha quality really is a cut above and I believe merits the price. Comparing my Spectre style Natos: The sheen of the seatbelt weave, the thicker quality hardware and the overall fit and finish of the Alpha production is top notch. My only critique is that the gray stripes don't match and I do like the more subdued gray in the standard strap. Otherwise, it's and excellent NATO option.
Luca C.
Ottima la fattura del prodotto, le cuciture sono state eseguite veramente bene e la consistenza si percepisce quando si prende il cinturino in mano.
Il prezzo superiore della serie AlphaShark è giustificato dalla qualità superiore del prodotto.
Complimenti, veramente un ottimo lavoro.
JOSE M.
this strap is rocks!! well made, very durable indeed!!! matches with my Tudor Black Bay Steel!
