- In this video I will show you 4 different ways to wear your watch on a NATO strap. First 2 methods will be pretty traditional, forwards and backwards. The other two methods will be ways to make the watch wear lower towards the wrist. Nato straps are a fun and affordable way to switch up your watch game a little bit :)
I've paired up with a few affordable watchband brands, if you want to get a strap and help me out in the process!

Last method is a game changer. I used to dislike natos for their bulky look but the sleek way looks so clean, keeps the buckle off your wrist, and having it at the bottom of your wrist feels much better. Thank you for showing us this.
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that you found this useful and that it changed how you feel about wearing nato straps! My pleasure mate!
I totally agree. The perfect way of wearing it, Thanks to Nordic Watch Channel
Except you have a baby’s diaper worth of dump under your wrist. Hated this method.
@@justmeeagainn Try a parachute strap, best of both worlds.
Yes, once you work that last one, there’s no going back to the traditional way of wearing a Nato,,,,ever! Thanks for this!
Have to agree the 4th position is fantastic. I didn’t know that there was 4 positions. Thanks a million. 😊
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
You finally made me love my NATO with the last method. Thank you!!!
Glad to hear that! :)
Same. Thanks!
My pleasure!
The last method is brilliant!
Thanks! It’s a good way to switch it up a bit👍🏻
I agree, feels SO MUCH BETTER on my wrist! Thank you.
To be honest , you have solved one of humanity biggest problem with that 4th way
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahah! Thanks for the laughs!
Love the third one. The classic looks of NATO with lesser elevation
Thanks! I also like that one :)
The 3rd method solves all of the issues I had with my NATO straps: improving fit and comfort while retaining the classic asymmetrical NATO look. Thank you for this video!
Awesome to hear that! My pleasure!
Wow! This is great. I never comment on videos, ever, but this was life-changing for me. I have a lollipop-wrist (prominent ulnar styloid) and the normal NATO method meant my watch always bumped into the bone and that was very irritating. I love wearing a watch but have suffered through wearing it just out of love. The third and fourth method in your video were CURATIVE for me. It means i can now wear my watch without discomfort. The watch no longer hits the ulnar styloid process on my wrist. It sits in behind it. Pure comfort to wear. Immediate fix. Thank you!
Super thrilled to get a comment like this! Thanks for letting me know, it really brightens up my day when I get a comment like this😊 And I’m more than happy to help! I hope you have comfortable watch wearing days ahead!😁
Man you change my Life with the Last Method.....Thanks !!
Haha happy to hear that!😂 No problem mate!
Wow, I agree with words below: Last method is a game changer.
I used to dislike natos for their bulky look but the sleek way looks so clean, keeps the buckle off your wrist, and having it at the bottom of your wrist feels much better.
Thank you for showing us this. I love only the forth method, and from now on it will be my final choose. It's a little more difficult to put on the wrist, but then it stays perfect. Congratulations
Very glad to hear you liked it and will be using the method :) Thanks for sharing and all the best!
Wow, I was a bit sceptic when I took a NATO for my Seiko Kinetic, but your last method and the second last one makes it look so slim, unique and non dressy. Like others mentioned, definitely a cool hack!
Glad to hear that mate 😎
Oh wow! #4 is a game changer. I just fell in love with nato straps all over again
Music to my ears mate :)
Thank you. I watched 3 or 4 videos with different methods and was just confused. All methods seemed worse than how I just threw it in out of the box. But the 4th method here has the best result, and you explained it very clearly. Thanks again.
Glad to hear that! Thanks :)
Thank you for a very helpful and straight forward video. I ordered my first NATO strap and it came with no instructions what so ever. So instead of winging it I watched your video and it came out better than I could have imagined.
Music to my ears! Happy to hear that this was helpful. Thanks mate!
This is one of the best tutorials! Thanks to you I now can wear the same strap in four different ways!
So glad to hear that! Cheers mate!
No. 4 wins hands down for my small wrist. Thank you.
Awesome! My pleasure :)
Just want to say I enjoyed watching this video. I just found out about the NATO strap and this video was very helpful. I tried all the different ways and didn't really like any one of them until I moved the watch down toward the long end like you mentioned at 1:10. Now, my favorite is the traditional way because my watch is naturally very thin so a little height actually makes it look better.
Thank you very much! The traditional way is great for smaller watches imo :) glad to hear that you found your favorite way of wearing it 😎maybe if you get a nato on a bigger watch, you’ll like the other methods as well!
Much appreciated! From now on, it will be #4 on my wrist.
That's awesome! Glad to hear that :)
Have to say that this is a really good way of describing something in a simple, practical way. 👍
Really glad to hear that! Thank you!
Best tutorials the way to wear nato strap, 3rd & 4th are awesome.
Glad to hear that! Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing this techniques! It changes dratically our watches and give us more options that may suit better or be more comfortable!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback :) My pleasure!
Fantastic video. I've just bought a few NATO straps after several years of not using them. When strapping the first one on the traditional way it didn't quite feel 100%. Found your video and the fourth method is exactly what I wanted at this point in time. Of course the great thing about NATO straps is flexibility and with these different ways of wearing them, that richness in variation becomes even greater. Thanks so much!
Very glad to hear that!! The bulky feel of the ”right” way to wear them can be a deterrent for many, including me sometimes. My pleasure!🙂
Last method is brilliant, definitely learned something today!
Thanks! Glad to hear that :)
The last method is what I was looking for, looks great 👍
Glad to hear that! It's a good way to get a slimmer fit. Happy to help! :)
I never saw Nato straps the same again after that last method lol... wow. It's cool to have these looping options, even with 1 strap you can achieve multiple looks and feels. Props!
Glad to hear that! Cheers!
Great tutorial with clear instructions! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! My pleasure!
This is awesome! Recently considering purchasing single pass nato straps but figured I’d stick with double. Now we have options which is the fun part imho.
Thank you.
My pleasure mate! I agree, nothing to lose by getting the classic style :) You can always cut it!
Always loved the NATO strap but never been a fan of the excess, that last method is a godsend! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
You’re a life saver. Just bought my first watch over $200. It came with a nato strap (just got into watches and didnt know what it was) and hated how much it made the watch bulge off my wrist. That last technique saved me from having to buy a new strap. And good thing because I don’t have the watch tools to take the pins out. Really thanks a lot man!
Happy to help! The traditional way of wearing the nato strap has the downside of making the watch bulge out from the wrist quite a lot. Btw I have a video on how to remove the pins using dental floss :) that way you can switch to something like a leather strap with quick release spring bars, without any tools!
Pretty cool tutorial, I decided on method 4 for my new watch. Thanks!
Glad I could help! Solid choice my friend :)
Thanks for the tips Nordic Watch Channel.
It really helps a lot 🙂
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
Wow - last method is the best thing I’ve seen for a very long time. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! My pleasure! :)
Bought my first NATO yesterday and I'm gonna try all of these out to see which I find best. Great video!
Thanks! Hope you find a favorite method :)
Thanks so much. The 4th method is exactly what I wanted!
Very glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
I'm really excited to try the final version you demonstrated on my vintage SKX007 when the NATO strap I ordered arrives. Thank you for making this video.
My pleasure mate :) Hopefully it turns out great!
This is great. I just ordered the Seiko Snoopy edition with the NATO and this will give me all these options to wear. This will be my very first NATO strap. Very useful video!
Glad I could help! Very happy to hear that this video was useful :) Cheers!
Wonderful tutorial on wearing NATOs. Thanks
Glad to hear that! My pleasure!
This was a game changer, specially the last one! Thank you very much for sharing
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
Thanks. Definitely prefer the last method. Looks and feels so much better 👍👍😊
Glad to hear that mate :)
The third way works for me just right.. thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching😎
Thank you, you have changed my life.
Haha, well I guess a really small change is still a change. My pleasure mate!
Last method is my favorite. Thank for sharing, I had no idea
You’re welcome! Really glad to hear that! :)
Thank your for your info, third method is perfect for me!
Glad to hear it mate! My pleasure👍🏻
I really like that last method. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
The sleek way is the way to go with Nato for me from now on. Thanks Mate!
Glad to hear that! My pleasure mate!
I'll echo what the other comments say, the third and final version is a game changer. Been trying to like Nato's for 20 years with the original method and it's just too bulky! Final way takes an extra few seconds for me to pu the watch on, but well worth it. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Time to finally start enjoying nato straps then :) My pleasure mate!
you could also cut off that extra bit, or buy a sinlge pass nato
@@RorytheRoman true but then you wouldn’t be able to wear it the original way any longer :) This way you can switch anytime you want!
Very informative and helpful, thank you!
Thank you! Glad to hear that :)
You just made me think outside the box. Thanks a lot. 👍🏼
Glad to hear that :) My pleasure!
These are all really helpful - I like the last method you showed. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! My pleasure!
Love the last method, def the way to go for me! Thank you :)
Glad to hear that! My pleasure :)
Thank you so much! It was really helpful! I like NATO straps but I believed I couldn't wear them because the excess strap was showing awkwardly. Your video was a game changer! :D
Really happy to hear that! :) Glad to have helped!
Thanks for sharing, very useful, specially the last method was not aware..
My pleasure! Glad to hear it was useful :)
The last method....Wow!! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure mate! Glad to hear it was helpful :)
Amazing video! Switched to the 4th way. Subscribed right after, I love awesome people sharing know-how in a very humble way! your tone kept me connected til the end of the video. 😘 Tak
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind feedback my friend!
Great tutorial, the last method is the winner for me, many thanks
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Thank you! Brilliant wearing my natos with the last method and enjoying them now as opposed to thinking meh about them. Subscribed!
Happy to help and I'm really glad to hear that :) Welcome aboard!
Thanks for this! The fourth method addresses my issue with nato straps which is the excess fabric and bulk. Cheers!
Very happy to hear that! Cheers :)
Haha - this is awesome. The last method is superb. Well done!
Thank you! :D
Wow the last one is rlly incredible, thank you!!
Glad you like it! My pleasure :)
Thanks and very much appreciated such amazing techniques. More power to your content and stay safe.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that. Stay safe as well!
Nice video - good work
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much. I like the last 2 methods to make the case sit closer on the wrist.
You are welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful! I also like that about the last 2 methods :)
Thank you so much mate! A new nato world!
Love hearing that! My pleasure!
Great video! Thanks! The last method is awesome! Thanks again. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words :)
I like the last method 🙌
Glad you like it!
very well explained !! very usefulll many thanks !
Thank you! I’m more than happy to help!🙂 glad to hear it was useful!
Thank you so much for this instructional information. It is very helpful.
Glad to hear that! My pleasure mate👍🏻
Last method is awsome ❤
Thanks! 8)
Thank you for the video it was wonderful to show 4 ways of wearing a nato strap
Glad to hear that, cheers!
Wow, wasn't aware of the last method. Adjusted mine and I love it!
So glad to hear that!
I just discovered this video while searching for replacement straps! My father gifted me a nice Seiko for my birthday but it has a NATO strap and I hated the way it looked. I feel the excess strap material in method 1, 2 and 3 draws attention away from the design of the watch. After watching your video and discovering method 4 I have decided to keep the strap, it looks great now. Thank you!
Glad I could help! That's the best thing about making videos like this :)
A very clear, helpful video. Thank you very much.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the feed back and I'm glad you found it useful :)
Another fan of method #4. Thanks! I’d never seen that!
Glad to hear it!
Very nice video. I tried the 3rd & 4th methods and they both worked great; however, I also found out that you need to be aware that these NATO straps do come in different lengths. Personally, I like my watch to sit loose on my wrist, as such I will need a slightly longer strap.
Thanks! Yes they do. There is a surprisingly large variance when it comes to the length of the strap!
Thanks man , the 4th way worked wonders
That's great, my pleasure!
Thank you for this wonderful guide, amazing,,,,,,
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure :)
Sold on the last method. Buying NATOs from now on 😂😂😂
Music to my ears mate 8)
Great video, thanks!
Thanks! My pleasure :)
This is great. Thanks! I just got some NATO straps, and was befuddled, even after watching a couple other videos - I have thin wrists, and the 3 loops & the buckle and excess end were looking bulky and not good... But your 4th option works great!!
My pleasure mate! Glad to hear it was useful!
Wow I love that non of these methods require you to cut or change the strap in anyway!
Exactly! :) Thanks!
Awesome video. Simple, clean explanation. I didn't even know the last method you showed. It looks really sleek and clean that way. Love it. Now I need me a new nato strap to try this out on my field watch. Thank you!
So glad to hear that! Thank you for the feedback :)
very useful and professional👍
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found it useful :)
Quite useful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! :)
That final method is perfect. Thank you!
Glad to hear it! My pleasure!
I know right!! Awesome work mate 😊. Thanks
Awesome, I appreciated the options
Glad to hear that! :)
Thank you but Please TAKE OF THOSE GLOVES 😂😂😂 I mean WHY???? ❤
Nope! The reason is that I don’t want people to pay attention to dry skin or long/short nails etc. So that’s why :)
@@NordicWatchChannel 👍 okay! Love!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome! My pleasure :)
Thank you for teaching us
My pleasure mate!
Thank you sir 👍
My pleasure mate!
Hot take: Second method is perfect. The bulky fold is kinda cool as long as it's only facing me.
Last method felt a bit scratchy and requires too much set up for daily use imo, but I love the versatility
A valid point! Glad to hear you found a method that suites you! 8)
Thanks very much Anders, a fab' tutorial from a new subscriber in England. Take care, David
Ypu’re very welcome David! Glad to have you as a subscriber! All the best!
I just bought the duro finally! I got the gold/silver colorway for now with about 8 nato strap colorways. I am fan of the last method as well!
Glad you like the last method! Casio Duro is always a solid choice :)
I have quite a few NATO straps and they have different lengths. Some are too short to fold over and tuck in, method #one. It's always nice to have options.
Yeah they do come in several lengths. But like you said, it's good to have options :)
Thanks for the tutorial… first and last made the most sense…
FYI… not sure why you wore the gloves as the tutorial was about the strap and not the watch so no one was focused on finger prints… 😊
Glad to hear it! Yes I know but fingerprints are not the reason I wear gloves. I wear them because people easily pay attention to lon/short nails or dry skin or other stuff like that. Gloves make everything nice and neutral and doesn’t draw any attention😊 I sometimes mention this in my videos, where gloves don’t make sense. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching😊
Thx so much for this great video. So now I prefer also the last way for my Nato. It looks great and feels so good. Best regards from Bavaria. 😉🤗
Bitte! Really glad to hear that mate! :) Greetings from Turku!
last method rules! thanks!!
My pleasure :)
I like NATO straps the best. Plastic leather or metal straps always cause itching due to a slight allergic reaction for me. NATO straps do not do this, and thanks to you, I find them even more comfortable . Thank you.
Really happy to hear that mate!🙂 My pleasure!
Thanks, awesome!
No problem! My pleasure :)
I come back to this video every summer when I decide to go back to wearing a NATO. For some reason, I can't ever remember the last method which to me works best.
Glad to hear that! The last method feels a bit unintuitive but I’m pretty sure you won’t be needing a video soon😁 Have a great summer!
Me too, haha.
This video is brilliant.
I’m from America.
I hit like.
I subscribed.
And I saved this video.
The last method makes me feel like James Bond!
Thank you for the taking the time to show how to do the different methods. CHEERS 🎉🍻!!!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that and also glad to have you as a subscriber :)
Cheers from Finland!
