I’ve had other natos before and this nato is far better in quality and craftsmanship extremely happy and I won’t hesitate to buy more in the future great product and great company.
Christopher D.
I love my original BluShark NATO strap. The hardware is amazing!
Dom L.
Great quality strap and hardware. Feels very durable! Comfortable with no scratching!
Ed P.
This is my third BluShark Nato watchband. They are now on the three watches I wear the most. I live in the Florida Panhandle and am in the pool daily. These bands hold up much better than the other brands I've been using.
James S.
Simple and sophisticated. 10/10.

BluShark’s range can’t be beat ! All around great product, at a great price. Add versatility, comfort, and great service, and there you have it ...
A winner !
John H.
Bring it , summertime ! Paired with this excellent BluShark nato , my PADI’s ready for anything. Top notch construction, hardware, and comfort. Great service as well . Thank you !
James T.
Have not been impressed by most of the NATO straps I've purchased before, but I have to commend BluShark for making a really quality strap. Love the quality and finish, and extremely comfortable. Will definitely be buying more from you guys!
Kevin T.
Made my watch look great. I will be ordering more. Thanks!
Julien R.
Really confortable. My watch is even more beautiful.. Haha. Thanks BluShark
Edward C.
It's comfortable on the wrist. Seems durable and looks like it'll last awhile. One thing I'd nit pick about is the buckle not lining up on the bottom middle of my wrist. It's a little ocd of mine.
Michael B.
The Nato's are top notch, and the Customer Service is second to none......
Daniel L.
Put the NATO strap on my submariner and love it. Clearly a high quality product, particularly the buckle, compared to many of the other NATO strap makers which appear cheaply made.
David G.
Great strap! I've got a few different colors now. Would highly recommend. Customer service was super helpful too when I had a shipping question.
Przemyslaw K.
Superior hardware. I like the Original series, it is my favourite from BluShark range. The best quality to price ratio. Black looks really good with every watch. Higly recommended.
Tejas J.
A great nylon strap! Love it!!!
Sergio A.
Material is comfortable and well-stitched. Buckle could be a little smaller for better usage with laptops and other such devices, but all hardware seems sturdy and sleek. Would buy from again.
Miroslav S.
Very nice strap
Mark L.
I have several of these types of NATO bands for my 'tactical' watches. Those bands have heavier metal rings and that's fine but these bands have a more refined look. I especially like the square-cut holes for the prong of the buckle. This is an excellent product...
Donald H.
Again, another strap and very nice looks great and the quality is there.

Hello
I received the three straps, all Nato style, and all are high quality and better than I expected, the shipping was very fast and they were well packed.
I would prefer the 3 ring style but with a matching nylon keeper instead of the rings.
Thanks
Don
Ramin E.
My second original strap. Comfortable and hardware is very nice
nick S.
stiffer and less comfortable than any other nato i've used
maybe the hardware is nicer, but honestly not enough to justify the price
Ira B.
great band. quality buckle and strap. strap could be a little thicker. is comfortable to wear. looks great.
CM Alexander C.
Nylon is tightly woven, no fraying between holes and great hardware. However, the welded holes are slightly thicker than 1.2mm hence a little struggle to slide it through a Rolex. Will definitely look forward should more colour options be made available. Also ordered the Army Green and Grey with brushed hardware.
J H.
Plays on the 'vintage' quality of my Hamilton Pilot Pioneer without the preppy flavor of the original calfskin strap. I love it! Comfortable all day, too.
Sam
Really love the brand, good quality, perfect for my skx007!
Thanks Blusharkstraps!
John v.
Really durable, easy to fit and really good quality hardware.
Alvin A.
What can I say it's a black strap ha , actually it's a great black strap from Blu Shark. Fit and finish is great , excellent hardware. Currently own 8 Blu Shark straps.
Olivier G.
Excellent product, excellent seller.
Steve O.
Strap looks good, fits great and is comfortable. No weird surprises. I've worn it daily for almost a month and it shows no signs of wear or fading. There is good reason why the buzz on these straps is so positive!
Michael G.
Absolutely love the BluShark NATOs. Always my go to for any sports watch
Jeff C.
Black hardware look slick with gold. Too hard to find natos with gold hardware not to mention rose gold for perfect match...but my father will be very happy with this upgrade since the stock silicone band ripped. I personally wear natos with everything whether it's athletic or formal dress including ceremonies. I just can't say enough that Blushark meets everything in comfort, durability, and very nice luxury look!
Daniel J.
Fast shipping, great packaging. The nylon is well-woven, no frayed edges, nice stitching. The brushed stainless hardware is beautiful, feeling very solid.
I originally bought this for a Speedmaster. It looked great, but I think it looks better with the more rugged Sinn 156. This is a quality NATO strap. You cannot got wrong, especially for the price.
John E.
Hard to go wrong with the myriad of bands from Blu Shark. This black-on-black 'original' is just the latest, from Joe's stable of winners! It looks great on my Phoibos Ocean Master. As usual; the purchase was seamless, and shipping was fast as always. Item came securely boxed; with the included, complimentary lens-wipe. Joe's deal of buy-three; and get-one-free, of equal or lessor-value, always rocks! I must have over ten straps from Blu Shark for every watch, and mood. A great quality product: if you have any doubt, just read the reviews from others. I have to give Blu Shark another thumbs-up!!
Kwan Yeung L.
Much better quality than the NATO strap I ordered from other site . Perfect for seiko tuna
Jose Jr R.
The quality is superb! Most definitely buying more in the future. Thanks Blu Shark. Cheers
Spencer B.
I had purchased a BluShark strap before off Amazon, but they didn't carry the color/size I wanted when I came back for more. It's a good thing too – otherwise I wouldn't have seen the 3-for-2 deal on the actual BluShark site. I ended up with a black, army green, and an orange (in addition to the bond stripes I already had). Great straps, great price.
Antons K.
Top level product ! Will recommend to all friends !
Alex L.
The strap arrived promptly and came with a small dust cloth which was nice and unexpected. The strap itself was easy to install, especially with BluShark's instructions. After a couple weeks of use, it's comfortable, stylish, and seemingly hardy. I often do yard work or physical activity with my watch and I've noticed no issues with the band so far. I'm a happy customer.

LONG TERM REVIEW
I have new Original Sharks and use them extensively for almost a year now.
I already have close to 50 different straps and Original Shark is best in its price range no doubt! Hardware quality is really good, nylon material has superior durability - I noticed minimum or no wear at all. No frying - it is not so obvious even for premium straps. Fit and finish are very good.
This is an excellent strap for the money, my personal favourite.
Daniel N.
Beautiful strap , comfy , practical , one problem I want more of them now
Karl S.
These must be at least the 6th strap I have bought from you.Would recommend them to anyone!
David F.
Great fit and finish the buckle is handsome makes the watch pop.
Jungwook S.
Great quality strap. Looks amazing on my IWC Mark XV.
Ken M.
Excellent bands! Couldn't be happier.
Juan Carlos L.
It looks perfect and feels great!
Gary D.
Great watch bands! I will buy more.
Chris O.
Comfortable and durable
Jesse S.
Great strap, very comfortable and very nice hardware, surpassed my expectations. Will be buying more very soon!
Kevin H.
No need to try out any other NATO's. I will use these exclusively from here on out. Durable and rugged while still soft and comfortable. This black one would look good on literally any watch.

Original Blu Shark 20mm on my original Citizen Eco-Drive - their first solar powered watch! Still going strong after 20+ years! The polymer "diver's strap" that came with the watch hardened and crumbled after a couple of years of outdoor UV exposure. No concerns that's going to happen with the BluShark!
O.U. B.
Original Blu Shark 18mm on my Citizen Eco Drive - waaay more durable and comfortable than the strap that came with the watch!
Edward H.
It is obvious much thought has been given to developing these watchbands. They are comfortable, very durable and well built. The band is a bit long, but Blushark provides instructions on their website how to shorten it. They also provide much needed instructions on how to properly install it on the watch. Once installed, the band provides two layers of strap just underneath the watch. This does make the watch thicker than normal but also gives extra protection to the watch. Keepers and buckle are also sewn into the band instead of just being loosely attached. Nice touch.
Norman L.
Just wanted to let you know that I received my straps much earlier than I expected with was fantastic! I think I that they are fantastic, incredibly well made, stylish and elevate my beloved Seiko 5 809 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.
Leandro R.
Very nice strap.
Very comfortable.
The finishing is impeccable.
Wouldn't feel out of place on a Submariner.
Douglas D.
I thought it would be the same quality as the Slim Alpha 20mm I purchased. Do you have a slim alpha version (seatbelt weave) in 24mm??
Wojciech N.
Well made and comfortable
Rene d.
Great strap for the money. Service has been great all around as well. Highly recommended.
Adam L.
My Traser P6600 Shadow just begs for this type of NATO strap. Much more comfortable than the silicone original and I’ve love going NATO since learning how to get rid of the side lump!
sasa K.
24 mm black blushark strap is fantastic. High quality and loks amazing and delivery just 7 days from USA to Australia. Thank you Joe and thank you Blushark you are great. Sasha
pierre b.
I have tried many Nato type straps. All had some flaw, bad stitching or just glued, cheap hardware or irregular PVD coating or just black paint over hardware that chips in few days.
BluShark watch Bands are the best compared to others. Great quality and PVD finish is superb. Will definitely buy another for my other watches.
Brendan W.
Great quality strap, with really good, solid, hardware. Spending the extra couple bucks on BluShark is definitely worth it. So much better than the generic NATOs out there
Isawati J.
Amazing strap!! I’m buying more now!!
Paul P.
The best. Hands down the best nato out there. Would trust this surfing, paddle boarding, diving, or snorkeling. Thanks for an excellent product.
Patrick M.
Great quality strap. Bought 10 more for my watch collection. Woukd buy again in a heartbeat.
Sean K.
Matches perfectly with the G Shock Mudman. Much better than the plastic strap it came on.
Ritchie C.
Awsome Strap on my SEIKO SZSC005 , quality and comfort all in one and great appearance, 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!
Mark P.
This band is for my wife’s dive watch and is in the water 3 days a week. My 24mm band has been working well for the last few months. We like these bands.
Timothy B.
Best strips anywhere by far thanks so much
Andrew M.
Perfect in every way!
Ross C.
I needed an 18mm strap for a vintage Seiko. This one is the best I’ve tried. High quality hardware for sure.
Glen L.
Really good and quality strap.
Loch C.
I wanted a Black NATO to really emphasize the legibility of this Stowa Flieger 36mm Pilots Watch. Suffice to say, the color, feel and high quality craftsmanship have really impressed me.
Fortunately, Blueshark have the 18mm lug width bands, and for thin wrists like mine, there's no excessive overhang that needs folding back. I purchased the Blue, Black and Grey bands, my thoughts are that the classic Black NATO is still the best and you can't go wrong!
Ruben R.
Definitely the most comfortable and high quality NATO strap that I own.
Mark
Bought three straps. Two 24mm for a Nixon 48-20. The 24mm is tight as the Nixon is an odd 23mm but it fits snugly. One 22mm for my Seiko dive watch. The quality for these bands at the price is phenomenal. The bands are handsome and rugged.
James D.
Outstanding quality on these NATO straps. Built tough with solid hardware that looks better than what you find on other brands.
Outcast B.
I wanted some premium straps to go with my Black Ray 2. And I didn't want to pay a premium price for them. Mission accomplished!
Here's The Original BluShark in black with polished hardware. Not too shabby,
Mark M.
After reading how these were the best NATO by someine in the industry, I placed an order and received promptly. Great and secure packaging was a bonus and just cemented the delivery of the anticipated straps. The 20mm is perfect for my Seiko Black Monster Gen2 and the 22mm my Steihart "Explorer II" homage. FAB Quality. Mark M. Adelaide, SA Australia.
McCrae Y.
Now this is how you rock a Bell & Ross!...With a Blu Shark Black PVD NATO Strap!. I am convinced that Blu Shark makes THE BEST NATO STRAPS ON THE MARKET. I will always buy my NATO'S here. I love everything about this strap. Kudos Blu Shark.
William G.
I think the blueshark original is to thin. I would have preferred the 1.25mm. I ended up buying another from your competitor. Don't really like the waffle pattern 1.25 that you offer.
Outbrain: S.
Perfect strap for my GB Timex vintage.
Will sure come back for more!
Brendon G.
Best NATO I've bought, hands down. And I've bought a few...
Nick B.
The AlphaShark is very nice, but I prefer this Original BluShark. I'm a light blue collar guy so this fits my style a little better. Shipping was quick and I was pleased with all the straps. When buying NATO straps in the future, it will be from here.
LLOYD D.
Colors are brilliant. Construction, stitching , keepers, and buckle are all high quality. The material is very nice on the skin. Very satisfied.
Luis R.
I love the quality and look!!!
MAHBUB K.
Fantastic strap, now this is how a premium Nato is done. I just wish it came in 21mm for my awkward Victorinox!
Joseph S.
High quality. It was worth the wait and effort. Outstanding.
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.
Blusharks make a great NATO! I'm addicted to these straps. The black goes well on the Nodus Trieste watch, and the quality hardware sets it off. Comfy, functional, neat and clean - you can't go wrong.

Let me keep this simple. Having owned multiple brands of NATO straps I have been left less than pleased until now. BluShark is simply one of if not the best NATO I have owned for the money. Beautiful hardware, above expected quality, perfect length, amazing strap.......highly recommended, don't hesitate in picking some up.
Anthony B.
Really comfortable, no problem at all , when i wear it i dont even know i have it on , love it
Markus M.
Real pretty strap, just very dissapointing quality. The Alphashark is shiny, soft, and, comfortable, but doesnt live up to the quality it promotes. Got lots of loose ends with in 2 weeks of ownership, not even using it every day. Guess i would have ordered af different model had i known this..
Alexander T.
I absolutely love my new straps. The quality is exceptional for the price point, and the hardware is sturdy an attractive. Looks fantastic on my Luminox.
