I use to have one. Didn’t use it. I think the easiest is still the single pass Nato in perlon. You make your own buckle hole and it’s about 15 bucks.

I'm not into perlon though. Maybe that's just me. Thanks for watching 👍

Just bought some on aliexpress as indeed the Erika's one are sooo much overpriced for what It is ... Mine are 22mm spot on. The only "issue" I got is that some (3 on 4) are a bit rigid strap and 1 is pretty stretchy. Still, for the price, you can't expect more, It's close to perfect. So, 70USD for a MN strap; just lol (I'm french and here you can still find some of the original ones for around 7€ but they're double layered and not very comfy)

Erica's Originals are price gouging, elastic nylon and buckles shouldn't cost that much. I got HIMQ from eBay for $20 and the strap is stylish, the Hong Kong seller has good service but if I knew about these then that's what I would've bought.

my wrist length is 15cm, would it be too loose for me to wear?

I think if you get the ones that are sold in AliExpress, they will be a bit too long. But if you get from www.luffwatchstrap.com/ then you can order them according to your wrist size. You can use my NMWATCH10 discount code to get 10% off. Thanks for watching

Erika's is way over price. I bought before from shopee and cheapest nato straps. The quality is similar,but for CNS their strap route is different from Erika's style. Which I think CNS route strap is stupid,as the buckle will hurt your hand for long period.

@coltrain7 Жыл бұрын

So previously I bought 10 from CNS, so need to modify and reroute it to Erika's way which more comfortable. And after modified is still cheaper compared to Erika straps.😂😂

Hi, apa khabar from a fellow Malaysian! Wanted to ask you, in daily wear if you keep the watch on for long hours, does the "buckle" that you hook onto slide down the strap, therefore causing the whole strap to loosen a bit? Have heard that this happens to some people. And what's your wrist size btw? Thanks bro!

@NMwatch 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, it will loosen a bit especially if you do sports. One time I used this strap while playing badminton, and the watch head turns the other way around. Maybe due to sweat and also the movement. My wrist size is 6.75 inches. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe bro!

If you don't want your watch too high or elevated, a NATO strap can be worn differently & end up with just 1 strap under the watch case & it won't fray nor lose elasticity & you can change straps quick w/out having to deal with removing the spring bars. NATO strap is quicker to remove & change to another design or color to match your clothes for the day. No need to deal with spring bars.

I'll try to wear my NATO strap in the way you suggested. Thanks for the feedback

NATO straps are way more superior in design compared to that rubber band strap which don't last forever. Elasticity of the rubber band has an expiration & won't last specially on hot climates or environment or body heat.

@NMwatch 4 жыл бұрын

I'll take note on that. Thanks for watching man!

@bernardtan1 4 жыл бұрын

Those kinda straps can scratch or break your glass & it's elastic won't remain the way as it should to hold properly in time, worst of all it'll fray... NATO is way better & last forever & looks cooler while easy to change straps as well unlike that rubber band strap. 😁✌If you have too much excess money get the original it will still fray & lose it's elasticity & hit your glass with it's buckle if you fumble.
