Finding the perfect strap or accessory for your watch can greatly enhance comfort and style. Our sizing guides help you measure your watch accurately, ensuring the best fit.

With these guides, you can confidently choose the perfect straps and accessories to enhance your watch.
2) Print File. In print options dialogue box, uncheck any “shrink oversized pages to fit” or “fit to page” boxes.*IMPORTANT!*
3) After printing, test the accuracy by measuring the “one inch” test strip with a standard ruler.
4) Cut off the inch ruler from the side and wrap around your wrist to determine your wrist size.
5) Hold your watch with the lugs framing the blocks below to determine your lug width. There should be no gap or overlap.
Lug Width Measurement:
To determine your lug width, print the BluShark Watch Sizing Guide in step-1 and place your watch on the measuring blocks located on the bottom of the guide.

3) Cut out the tool. Position the wider end where you would wear a watch. For a more accurate measurement, you can use a piece of tape to hold the wider end in place.
4) Wrap the tool around your wrist, keeping it in place. Make sure the tool feels snug and doesn’t slide up or down.
5) Note the inch number the arrows point to – that’s your band size.
6) If the arrows land between two measurements, choose the smaller of the two numbers closest to the line.
Adapter Measurement:
To determine which size adapter you need, use the following guide:
If your Apple Watch is 42mm, 44mm, or 45mm, you’ll need an adapter that measures 22mm.
If your Apple Watch is 38mm or 40mm, you’ll need an adapter that measures 20mm.
If you have a 41mm Apple Watch, choose the 20mm adapter.
Unsure of your case size? You can usually find it on the back of your Apple Watch, near the sensor. Or, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to "My Watch" at the bottom, then tap General > About.

AlphaShark Slim - Camel Watch Strap
DISCONTINUED STRAP: we're retiring this strap soon, so buy yours now before they're gone! No returns or exchanges will be allowed.
The slimmed-down version of our AlphaShark luxury nylon watch strap, in solid camel color. Crafted from high tensile strength "seat belt" nylon, the AlphaShark Slim is only 1.2mm thick. The nylon is extremely soft and pliable and it is adorned with premium hardware including a sliding keeper. If you love the AlphaShark, but would like something with a lower profile, the AlphaShark Slim is for you. It's a great option for watches with little clearance between the case and spring bars, like many Rolex models.

Comfortable strap; however, the hole for the pin buckle frayed and the strap is no longer wearable. I am sad as I really liked the color and how comfortable it was.
I purchased this 22mm w polished hardware because it was on sale and I wanted to see what the slim was like. I’d say this color is more of a gold than yellow that some have described it as .I love the way it looks on my Steinhart w gold markers. I would have given it a 5 star except that between the 5/6 hole the material stretched almost to a fray on the first time I tightened it on. I hope that it doesn’t become an issue because the strap does feel comfortable and other than that it seems very good quality.
Overall it is a pretty flimsy band. The hole is already showing signs of wear and will probably fail within a few months. I've worn the watch around ten times in total and I'm already a little nervous. The finish and color is AMAZING though!
The strap color is closer to yellow/gold than to tan .... it really makes the gold markers on this SARB017 pop, but might be a bit bold for a field watch look. The texture is beautiful and the quality excellent ... the hole looks like it's starting to bunch up but is still quite solid.
I love this watch strap. The color options are endless and the quality is great. No fraying so far, but I can't say the same for some of the competitor's seatbelt straps.
A very slim strap that accommodates a limited space between the watch case and spring bar. It almost looks like it was woven from strands of pure gold in certain lights, such as the flash from a camera. It's a very beautiful strap!
I have many of the Traditional Alpha Shark straps (1.4mm thick) which work great on my Omegas, however the Rolex spring bar holes are drilled much closer to the watch body making it difficult to thread thru these straps. I was happy to discover BluShark made a 1.2mm thick variety suitable for Rolex. So far this new strap it's holding up great and no sign of wear on the pin holes as reported by others, though I would prefer the square holes similar to the traditional Alpha straps. The striping Bond effect on the mono-colored straps is also a very nice touch of style. Hopefully there will be a wider selection of color options as these become more popular.
Bought the strap last year and love the softness of the fabric/weave. I was worried the holes might stretch and fray but thus far the strap is holding up quite nicely - the material is very pliable so usually the holes that stretch out after prolonged wearing can be quickly smoothened out by just running your fingers along the material. Only thing I didn't like is the dual weave pattern which is noticable under a certain angles, I'd prefer a more uniform look.
I didn't plan to use this nato on my newly acquired Omega Seamaster 300m.
But it turns out look great!
The color compliment the Sedna Gold of the bezel!
By the photo, to say this is a match made in heaven would still be an understatement. Did not expect the strap to be so soft and comfortable. Fits the wrist very nicely! Also the first strap I’ve ordered “polished,” and was not disappointed.
Great quality. Very soft and comfortable, unlike your typical coarse nylon nato. Don't really notice it on hand when worn, and when wet, there is just a slight discomfort - no sudden urge to take it off.
The color transition (length wise bars in different shade) is very subtle, barely noticeable.
The color itself is more of a golden than camel / tan. Shiny, full and bling bling, you will find no militaristic connotations here. When not in full sun, the strap can nicely blend in with the color of your skin (depends on your skin of course).
The strap is very thin, so stretching the hole you are using isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility. More for an office use than sports / throw it around style.
Thought it wouldn’t compliment an older style Marine Watch as well as it does .....the Camel colour is also quite striking. Would recommend to try out these guys
