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.

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.

The aqua blue is stunning and pairs quite well with the lume on my Certina's dial. That's the big reason I got this strap and it does not disappoint in that regard.
The only reason I docked a star is I am spoiled on the Orca and the Alphapremier.
Other than that, it's close to perfect.
Love this NATO strap on my SKX009J. Really compliments the Pepsi dial. The strap quality is great and wears comfortable on the wrist. Would definitely recommend !
What a great experience and product! A great price with fast shipping and the strap(s) are great quality, match the colors exactly in the photos and hardware is great. I’ll definitely be ordering more.

I love the basic pass through straps. I keep ordering them for daily wear. I wish there was an option that fit the same and didn't get smelly after awhile. Also the powder blue one is awesome. And I like that you can get most of them with black hardware.
Have this same model in the other colors so I already know quality is excellent. Color will complement clothing I decide to wear or whatever mood I’m in😁
Thanks BluShark!
The comfort of the BluShark double-pass NATO strap is unsurpassable! The thin, flat stainless keepers have a nice brushed finish and stay out of the way when I’m working on stuff. The keepers are also sewn between layers so only the soft strap is touching the skin, not the keepers. The steel blue also nearly perfectly matches the blue hardware on my GWF-D1000 Frogman, a happy coincidence! Thanks BluShark!
Awesome strap! I've been collecting the "Bond" style straps recently, and this Olive one is really good. It's muted and understated, and so it works with a variety of watches, including my Citizen Promaster Land (pictured).
They’re basically exactly what you’re paying for, and seem to be good quality. Be sure you understand that this is a double pass strap though, which is kind of a weird look compared to single pass. But according to some research I did, double pass is the traditional configuration for this color scheme, so I’m glad this is the option I have.
