...But mostly elastics. In hind sight I probably should have just made this episode specific to elastic straps, live and learn. Looking at several types of elastic straps from different brands with a few others thrown in at the end.

I feel for great dependable quality, comfort, customization, and most importantly, a perfect fit. Erika's originals are #1

This video is great. Very comprehensive and thorough regarding all the different styles and suppliers. Also appreciate your honest opinion on each strap. Definitely will be adding a couple of these to my rotation.

I've been looking at trying out a watch steward strap but wasn't sure which one I should get. This was great info. Thanks Pete.

Thank you for the tip on doctoring the Cheapest Nato Straps MN straps. I have 4 of them and haven’t found a good way to wear them the way they come. Much better using your method to fix it!

I'm wearing my new cheapestnatostraps paratrooper today myself, sand with the red stripe on a Timex Expedition I haven't worn for ages but looks great, I've received 10 new straps in the last week & there's another 5 in the post, it's a problem. I'd not heard of Watch Steward before I may have to sample those too. Cheers for the excellent content.

awesome stuff! would you ever consider doing a tutorial on how to re-construct and sew the cheapestnatostraps MN's to match how Erika's is constructed? I have a stock of ~12 "MN" straps I bought from cheapestnatostraps but havent worn them at all because of the funky hardware placements.

This was great! I'm starting to really dig nato straps, but elasticated ones in particular as of late. I enjoy my single pass ones, and my Erika MN style ones (from strapco I think?), but really liked seeing types of straps I was unaware of. Loved the ones that add no thickness to watch. By the way, have you tried the Zuludiver Octopod system? The deployant clasp with a single pass elastic strap looks pretty slick. Just got mine and it wears great. Bit of a pain to size up though.

I really don't like the design of that CNS Marine Nationale. It's not secure like the "original" design, and if that latch comes off, you lose the watch. I actually have one and was disappointed with it. Modding it like you did, would not take me "a few minutes" lol. I just ordered an Erika's.

Hey man, great video you have widened my selection as i have been looking to purchase straps of this material and features specifically. A question that came in mind is: what is the watch with the black dial and arabic numerals, that you have mentioned is 36 mm? Thanks in advance love the channel!

@ChillinwitWatches 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks man, glad it helped. The 36mm is a custom build I did in an alpha explorer eta 2824 case.

Regarding the elestic straps, while jogging, will the watch slide around?

@ChillinwitWatches 4 жыл бұрын

I wear a 5610 on an MN strap at soccer practice and it's nicely secure. If it was an skx or something heavy like that, it would probably move around. I wear a Timex r300 for jogging.

Thanks for the great video Pete! I think I've ordered almost a couple dozen straps in the last two months so I feel your pain lol Have you heard of the Nick Mankey hook strap? I got a few on the way as well as some Watch Stewards to compare

@ChillinwitWatches 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! Having a lot of strap options is clutch! I have heard of Nick Mankey, my understanding is that they work exactly like watch steward but with a different catch or buckle?
