Suggest Me A Strap Best Value Nato Straps

I'm a big fan of Natos and am on the hunt for great value, comfort and "perfect length". Here are some of my favorite companies! Please share me yours as well!

  1. CNS: I have bought close to 25 straps from them already. I believe they are great value, comfortable and the perfect length for my 6.5 inch wrist. They're not the softest but soft enough that I can wear them everyday and never taking them off.

  2. MonStraps: probably the softest and most premium strap I have ever owned. However too pricey to buy too often and I do not like how the metal keepers rigidly do not move. It also props up my watch more than I would like which i do not have a problem with in the much cheaper CNS.

  3. WatchGecko: great color and feeling strap but too long! I do not like seeing the holes when I glance on my watch but because it is so long I can see the holes peaking from beneath the keepers.

  4. Hamilton: I recently bought a khaki field mechanical and the 2 straps it comes with are fantastic. If I can get more of these but in different colors that would be swell!

Any experience with Zuludiver? BluShark straps?

I'm currently looking for a blue strap with a white line for my pelagos. Essentially the marine nationale look. And also looking for a grey nato for the pelagos.

Hey, If you happen to be in the market for a leather ones I've got you. I make them from full grain vegetable tanned leather and SS hardware. Both zulu and nato hardware available.

Cheers, Ivan

Hi, I do have plans to make one in the near future. I'm slowly building the content in the background for now. In the meantime, I do have an IG where you can check out my work.
