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 👍
Tried them, they're excellent. Especially for the money.
Yup. They are worth the asking price. But I've been reviewing other similar products ever since, so check them out!
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)
Hello there. I think the latest version of these are much better value for the money. Check out Juelong store an AliExpress. Thanks for watching.
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.
Well, people like Erica's originals for their own reasons. I'm here to show you an alternative. Glad that you like it. Thanks for watching!
Nice work Mate 👌🇦🇺
Thanks for watching mate!
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
Thanks for informative review! And i like the strap in your GMT, i may invest in one now.
Thanks for watching Paul!
BTW, it's Erika, with a k (she is Dutch).
Thanks for the correction bro 👍
@@NMwatch Pas de problème.
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.
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.😂😂
Well yup. You've got yourself a good deal there from CNS. Thanks for watching 😎
Erika's originals, is a copy as well. At her current prices its a scam.
Well I have to agree with you on that. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
Really cool
Thanks man!
menarik bos. betul tu, x silap tali tu mmg 1 saiz jer 21mm. pernah terbaca/ternengok video pasal tali parachute nih. tqvm sudi share. mmg tunggu sgt versi yg x mahal sgt camni. #kipidap :)
Yup. Tapi sbb kat AliExpress page tulis 3 size. Aku pun beli je la. Rupanya semua sama. Ha ha ha!
@@NMwatch dia salah mention la tu, saiz besi hardware hook tu bukan saiz tali. hahaha. tp ape pun menarik sgt. lamo dah dok survey kat aliexpress x jumpe. hahaha, x tau keyword. tqvm bos.
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.
I'll take note on that. Thanks for watching man!
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
Nice review, but while I agree that Erikas are a bit overpriced, they are a high quality strap and not ready to sacrifice my expensive watch with a cheap replica strap. Just my $.02
Yeah man. I agree with you on not using these on your expensive watches. I bought these just to try out if I can live with the Erikas. Now that I have tried them, I do want to try the real thing soon. Thanks for watching 👍
Or tell us what we have to type in the search bar
Just type 'elastic nato'
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.
I'll definitely will not get the original 🤣. Thanks for watching man!
How does it break your glass?
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!
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!
@@NMwatch Ah, ok. How unfortunate. Thanks for the insight. Subbed! :)
@@chinwengkeong that might be the issue with the cheaper material used by these AliExpress sellers. If you want something of higher quality, maybe you can try those from luffwatchstrap.com. I've made a review of their products. Will be recording another video for them tomorrow.
Here's the link to my review

@@NMwatch Thanks for this bro. So theirs doesn't loosen through the course of the day? Tapi theirs mahal sikit kan? ;-) Anyway I checked their website, the colours and sizes I want are out of stock. Will check out the new video you're recording tomorrow. Thanks!
great way to scratch up your watch and knock it around on the desk ... these straps.
I've been using them like I showed in this video for about 6 months now, and I never scratched any of my watches. Thanks for watching man
@@NMwatch maybe on the 8th month you will get your glass scratched. ✌😁
@@bernardtan1 since I have quite a lot of straps/bracelets to play around, I might not face the same issue. Maybe if it's your one and only strap, then it'll become loose or worse, hit your watch glass. Anyways, thanks for the feedback. Regards.
Link to seller?
Hello there James. I've updated the purchase link in the video description. Thanks for watching!
Link broken, please update
Hey man. I think the seller no longer sells these. I'll update with something else. Thanks for the feedback
@@NMwatch Link is still broken, could you please update?
@@LucaMandarino Hey man. Please use the link below. If you've installed AliExpress app in your smartphone, just search for "French Nato" and you'll find sellers with these style of straps. Thanks for watching

Sssssss.......
I have the same one's from Aliexpress, they are pretty damn good for the money very comfortable on the wrist and durable. I also have some from Cheapestnatostraps.com which are ok.
I'm thinking of getting some from cheapestnatostraps as well. Wearing experience, are they the same with the AliExpress version?
@@NMwatch They are pretty much the same quality but the strap is different. The strap from CNS is not stitched together so you can put them on your watch like a one piece nato strap.
homage is fake
Homage is fake? No, a homage is a homage. If it makes a person happy, than what is the harm? I think that the watches on display are quite handsome.
Yeah, how does that work? Homage is fake? Now I’m worried that my Parnis might be a fake. I do suppose in this new up is the new down world we are living in you might make sense to someone out there.
Pim is fake
