Nato Strap on a G-SHOCK?!?! (GW6900) Installation & Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2021
- The GW6900 is one of my favorite G-Shock's ever however, the quality of the strap (especially on the one I just purchased) isn't the greatest. So I'm going to install a Nato strap via this adapter kit from Ritche Watch bands. Let's take a look.

Hi.
I bought one. Put it on and took it off again.
I don’t like he way it makes the watch stand off higher for the wrist.
These G’s are bulky enough as it is, the nato seems to make it bulkier.
All the best 👍🏾🇬🇧
I just got my gw6900 not too long ago and I love it! Quickly getting addicted to the gshocks and specifically the gw6900. I almost want another one. Keep up the great content!
i have a g shock 2100, love the watch hated the rubber strap so the watch sat in my drawer. got a set of adapters last week. they are made from cnc'ed aluminum, what a game changer, the angle of them fit my wrist perfectly, i put on a very thin nato strap black with a thin red line in center. its now one my most comfortable watchs and has turned into everything i had hoped it would be for a work watch, i dont even know im wearing it now. finding the right adapter is key as not all adapters are equal.
i went with jays and kays adapters there a veteran owned company also , i find that to be a big selling point for me also.
Just bought the same one and had some fun installing the adapters also. Has to use the spring bar tool to push the bar in place. Once in place and the strap installed it felt a lot nicer then the rubber strap. Will buy different colors and patterns. I love it.
I did this mod. Used JackandKays metal adapters and a Wrist Candy nato. Turned out well. Wearing it as I type this. 😂
After 20+ years on the same ole factory band, the watch needed an upgrade.
Awesome combination, still running nato on this one as well from time to time. thanks for tuning in!
I just ordered the same watch but with a green nato, I saw a photo on amazon reviews and it looked really cool, your idea is good too, black looks nice.
Very cool, that green one looks awesome too!
Looks really awesome!!!
Agreed, thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for the walkthrough.
Just picked up one of these watches and I've never really been the biggest fan of the rubber straps that come on them.
I had a little bit of trouble getting one of the spring bars back in place but the rest was pretty easy with the included tool. Much more comfortable now.
Very cool, thanks for the feedback, glad the upgrade is working well for you!
Just Cut the double buckle strap just above the stitching and you have a single pass nato
Jays & Kays makes metal adapters made for the square g-shock will fit gw-6900 way better quality and profile
Yeah it looks real good I'm not much for native stress but I thought I think it looks really bad ass right now it looks real rugged Man yeah something you could walk through the jungle with that's reliable 👍
Nato straps do offer a great deal more comfort than some of the stock casio resin bands, plus they look really cool too!
The key to adding a NATO strap to a GW-6900 is to get the Jay and Kay low-profile machined NATO adapters. Oh and buy a Barton NATO strap -much better than the Ritche!
Awesome, thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check those out! Appreciate you tuning in!
Can you cut off the extra (second) buckle? I would try that, if it's a bother. I ordered this band for my G-shock, and I'm going to cut that second buckle off, if I have to.
Absolutely, can and did remove the extra buckle…I’m still not sure why there’s an extra one on this band but it’s all good. Thanks so much for tuning in!
cool
I agree with the many others who say: don't do this.
G shock always look better on their own strap
Yes, but tbh nato straps are way better
I’d cut that second loop off with the two buckles run a lighter along the cut to seal end up and just run it as a single pass zulu strap…it’s not going to slide around with those rubbery adapters. 👍
Good advice, thanks for tuning in!
If say you use a Dremel with a metal cut off wheel to cut off that second buckle why would you have to repair the strap? That second buckle would just come off.
What's the spring bar mm width?
The spring bars are approx 19.9mm end to end leaving only about 15mm clearance for the stock band which is why the adapter is required for a wider Nato.
@@nobetagear ok thanks
It looks like it makes the watch sit too high on the wrist. It is still an interesting option though.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching!
I have and it’s a little high but much more comfortable and durable than the stock strap.
You don't have any description where to buy it
Here is the link to the strap featured in this video amzn.to/3EfSVo6
Thanks for tuning in!
What’s your wrist size for reference? Thanks!
6-7/8 …thanks for tuning in.
@@nobetagear what if you don’t have the original spring bars from the original watch mine bent
Thanx! Now I will be sure to not set nato straps on my g-shocks, looks horrible ))
Lol, full disclosure… can’t disagree, I’m running the stock band currently on this watch….but it’s always nice to have options, even with a G-shock. Thanks for tuning in!
Ali express strap is under $4 shipped.
Great feedback, thanks!
Makes the G Shock weaker. Fixed Bars! Spring bars are asking for a weaker G Shock.
Not all models have fixed bars. I wish they did. Spring bars suck
You need to have the Jay and Kays machined G-Shock adapters to make it complete. I love mine with the NATO straps.
The GW-6900 comes stock with spring bars though. What you smoking?
