Nice look with my MM200.

I was shocked because watch straps are very high quality. I will definitely buy in the future BluShark's straps.

Excellent strap - far exceeded my expectations!

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!!!

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,

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...
Reinold D.
Happy with the result. My Shogun looks even better now.
Conor W.
Best nato I have ever felt. Very comfortable

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!
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 ,
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!
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.
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,

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!
Fayyaz Q.
Ordered 3 Aquashark straps. Black and orange, the bond and vintage bond for my Omega Planet Ocean Casino Royale. Very pleased with the quality. Sorry that the picture doesn't do justice.
Ch'ng Yee N.
Excellent! Good and premium quality.
Darren L.
Here comes my bond strap!! Love everything of this strap!!
Ross A.
Great strap, these don’t disappoint
Erichsen S.
I would like to suggest one small improvement if i may. If the buckle end were to increase the length after the watch head, it will fix even better for man with larger wrist. I like the buckle to be directly below the watch head on the opposite side of the wrist when put on. Thank you.
Chuck C.
Got the AlphaShark Bond for my Oris 65 reissue. Easy to install with my bars still on. Took a day or two to break in, but is super comfy. I love the hardware, strap is pretty thick but not too bulky. Would definitely but again!
Paul M.
Love the strap on my tissot touch great for hot weather easy to fit with rite tools
Stephen C.
I received the straps a few days ago and can say that I am very happy with them. This is the first time I've ordered from you,indeed it's the first time I have ordered anything from outside the UK . So the first thing to say is thank you for the service you provided, it was first class. As for the straps , well I'm delighted with them the quality is as good as advertised, I love the thickness of the webbing and I really like the size of the buckle,it looks great. The three straps I bought are for the watch you see in the photo but so far I've only tried the one you see, I like it so much I haven't got to the other's yet.
All I can say is that I'm very happy with my purchase and would happily recommend you to anyone.
Thank you
Steve Croft
DANA A.
Thicker and higher quality then what I had before. Very happy with my new band. It's like getting a new watch.
Ross A.
I actually cannot believe how good these are, it is so comfortable and has given me a renewed love for a watch I haven’t worn in quite a while, I’ve already ordered more as they are that good
John M.
Love this strap on my Seamaster. Omega quality for a fraction of the cost.
Adam L.
Makes my Fireman Enterprise look great with the added security of the NATO style. I love the feel of the seatbelt grade AlphaShark
Scott V.
Love my new AlphaSharks - they look great - super easy and comfortable.
First time shopper - definitely not my last!
Jan Allan L.
I so love the strap. It feels premium.
David F.
Great quality I love it !
Juan M.
Realmente altísima calidad, un poco rígida la Alpha pero con unos días de uso se suaviza. Super cómodas.
David S.
Very high quality NATO strap, love the hardware and materials ‼️ These are what I've been looking for!!
Alex C.
Not only the strap ,the buckle pretty solid feel .......
Thomas R.
It‘s really a nice strap .look great with my Seiko SKX 007
Ahmed M.
Great quality. Love it.
Joe M.
Thinker than expected, but fits this watch great
Justin G.
Alphashark Bond 20mm on the Seiko Kinetic. The quality and comfort of this strap is outstanding! If you are on the fence about these straps, don’t be! Your watch will thank you.
Andrew G.
Blu Shark is forcing me to buy multiple NATO straps for all my watches and I love it!
Rafał N.
Excellent strap. Really high quality
Lars v.
As expected from the rave reviews on the forums, an amazing quality strap! A few minir loose strings of fabric at the buckle had to be removed because of discomfort, but nothing major.
PETER W.
Make no mistake this is a premium NATO strap. It feels tough and yet it is super comfortable. The hardware is top quality and the fabric may not look it but is silky smooth.
It is thick so make sure your watch has the room for it to pass between the case and spring bars. I can just about get away with it on my SKX.
Mark M.
AlphaShark quality is awesome. Heaver and smoother with a fantastic polished buckle and loops!
Andrew K.
This strap transformed my Popeye watch, I was looking for something durable yet comfortable and this strap does it all for me. Can't go wrong with the polished finished, pairs perfectly with the brushed/polished aspects of the watch. You have yourself a returning customer; Go BluShark!
Jon G.
Love Blushark NATOs! My go-to for watch straps. Great job, keep it up!
Ian B.
Nice strap. Definitely a different material than the standard NATO -type nylon. The hardware is of a slightly heavier build. The sheen definitely contributes to the “premium” look. I’d buy another.
YingHao C.
The quality of the strap is great! Thick and smooth material!
Benjamin J.
Definitely the best quality NATO strap I’ve had the pleasure to handle!! Seriously high standards... Really impressive... Truthfully genuine product... wouldn’t hesitate to shop again!!! 10/10
David K.
Love the strap, perfectly compliments my Orange Monster. Very happy!
J.C. W.
These are the most comfortable straps I have ever worn on my watches. Not only do they feel great! They look great as well! Very happy with my purchase. I'll definitely be buying more!
Dafydd E.
Just brilliant - better than the real NATO straps!
Cody L.
Threw this thing on my Christopher Ward Trident and I have to say I am impressed. The material is really comfortable, the hardware is better than expected, and it looks really great. It is much more comfortable to wear than some of my other NATO’s. It is a little thicker than my other straps and was a little stiff in the beggining, but I took it into the shower and the hot water softened the nylon right up. I wear it day and night and I have zero complaints with it. Time will tell if it can stand up to the abuse of diving, rock climbing, and Grand Canyon expeditions, though I think it will do really well. Fantastic product!
Sean P.
Exceptional band overall-- this is one of three colors I own and definitely my most worn!
I purchased to secure my father's watch and the quality leads me to believe it will do just that. Highly recommended.
Chris B.
Grabbed this strap on a whim and I love it. It took a couple days to break in but the quality and confort is really there! 10/10 would buy again.
Mark Y.
Good quality heavy duty straps, as with my previous review, two of the three I ordered were not stitched around the second keeper as in the picures.
Hung N.
My best nato strap I have ever experienced. Highly recommended!
Armand P.
Love the AlphaShark strap. It’s smooth and luxurious while still being sporty.
Word of advice, it is thick. I didn’t realize how thick until I received it, and it didn’t work on the original watch I had planned. That being said, I absolutely love it on this watch.
If you’re in the market for a thick, luxurious NATO strap, you’ve come to the right place!
Ed L.
High quality strap with premium hardware, also very comfortable. Excellent deal at this price.
Patrick Y.
The Strap is so comfortable!!! It is perfect to match with my Steinhart OCEAN GMT. Great buy!!! Will recommend to my friends.
Herman v.
Excellent strap in general except the stiches on the last hardware/keeper is too stif and banded, and slightly uncomfortable on my wrist.
Eric D.
The quality and workmanship is apparent. It is one of the most comfortable straps I've ever worn.
JV M.
I love how everyone has such nice wrists, allowing for a classic NATO tuck...well large twisted customers, this is probably the only NATO strap out there you will be able to buckle. Those of us with 9” plus wrists will never see the full look of the tuck unless a 2” longer version is offered, and yes, John, I would pay a premium for that to Blushark! This is by far the best quality strap you can buy and the price is absolutely worth it given the materials, hardware and fit. The best out there...an Uncle Sam and a Navy were also purchased to compliment the bezel of the 009j. Definitely more colors to come for me. Worth every penny!
Frank P.
BluShark on the Seiko Ninja Tuna at the beach, a perfect combination. The PVD hardware complements the watch perfectly.
Magartu B.
A beautiful blend of form and function. The black Ray 2 is transformed from a nice budget diver to one that might tempt the ultimate spy.
Sam S.
I love these straps! Just what I was looking for, more refined than my DaLuca straps, softer and more supple. Looks insane on my new Sinn U1000. I love the quality of the nylon which gives a perfect balance between sheen and saturation of color, easy to dress up or down. My favorite of the Blu Shark Alphas has to be the retro Bond as the color palate works brilliantly on my collection of Sinn Divers.
Blue Shark: please make some straps that pay homage to a nation's flag or something world famous that is associated with that country. For instance an olive/ranger army green strap with a 1mm cream stripe in the middle, flanked by 2mm space of the base green, then flanked again by a couple deep red 2mm stripes. It would work as an homage to Italy, Italian diving culture (and Squale), Ferrari perhaps, and the color combo would just be classic and beautiful. I love all the color variants of the Bond strap.
vincent o.
The Hardware (Buckle & Strap Keepers) on the BluShark Aplha-Nato band are the best.
Daniel R.
One of many BluShark straps that I have, and for a very good reason! They look and feel great! The high sheen and soft Alpha line looks and feels great on the wrist. You have to own an AlphaShark at some point. Even the original and orca lines are fantastic as well!
Valdemars M.
This is a review 1 month after receiving Alpha Straps.
I only gave 3 stars because quality/price ratio is not as good as Original Natos from BluShark.
Although Alphas are really good quality, they also are thick, quite stiff and feels more like a leather strap on wrist. Major flaw on 2 of 3 I have is fraying, and that is just from tucking in the excess strap end. I wear these straps at my desk, for other activities I use silicone nato.
Fraying after 1 week of wear at most is not a good sign.
So, I would rather buy 2 Original Nato straps for 32$ and receive third for free, because they are thin, yet dense and elastic, and there is no sign of them being prone to fraying.
Also the Navy Alpha is noticeably softer than Black and Bond, maybe different batch.
If you read this review, I would recommend you rather buy Slim Alpha or several Original Natos.
