I have 5 BluShark NATO straps, including 1 Alpha. I made the mistake of ordering two from Amazon before I realized that on their website they have a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion that seems to be permanent. So anyone watching, definitely order direct from their website. Fast shipping, came in a nice branded box with a free polishing cloth. They're all really nice straps with a nice beefy (but not too bulky) buckle. Nice square cut holes that resist "tear-out". Also, I like that they're a family owned and operated company. Other NATO's that I've purchases seem flimsy and cheap in comparison.
You forgot to mention that they perpetually run a "Buy 2 Get 1" deal. It makes the Alpha Shark straps a bargain, and it includes free shipping. My favorite NATO by far.
BluShark are a great company to deal with and their straps are first rate. I am in Australia, so don’t include me in the giveaway as postage would cost you too much. I already have plenty of BluShark straps and will keep buying more - they keep coming out with great new colors! Great review Rob. Love your vids. Keep up the great content.
Thanks for the video. I’ve wanted to buy a Blue Shark for a while because I love nato straps, but there are so many on the market that’s it’s hard to know who is good and who isn’t. Thx for helping to narrow down my decision.
I have been enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting. As a watch enthusiast, its nice to get some different views of products. I live up in a small town in Alaska serving in the Coast Guard, so no rolling down to the mall to check out the latest editions that have hit the streets. I have to rely on videos like yours to make my decisions. Cheers!
Good video as always Rob! You can't go wrong with BluShark. I have the alpha and the original and no complaints on any of their stuff. Great customer service also!
Big fan of NATOs for my daily SKX007 and also for my G-Shock Square (using adapter from Jay and Kays). BluShark also has a deal where you can buy two and get the third strap free. Thanks for the great videos. I still don't own a monster, but did buy a second and third G-shock square (reverse display with combi and also the carbon fiber/titanium back).
The NATO strap can bring out design elements of a watch including bringing out colors from the dial. These straps last as well. I have an old Seiko 7002 dive watch and the seiko rubber straps just don't last!
Love that Seiko Titanium! The square numbers on the dial and the spacing, might be my next buy. I don't have use for a Nato strap right now, so you can skip me and make someone else happy :-) good luck everyone
Sitting here with a Bulova Lunar Pilot and a Blu Shark Original Premium black/grey NATO. This combination doesn't work. There is not enough room between the original springbar and the watchcase to fit this particular strap. I tried it with a smaller diameter springbar from the toolkit, and the space still isn't wide enough to route the premium strap through. Will have to find a thinner strap.
I own a few Blue Sharks they are amazing quality and much more comfortable then the rubbery, silicone or plasticy straps.I wear them on many of my SSeiko's and Deep Blue that yes look like Seiko's.
Hi Robert, from a fellow Seiko fan I have to say that all these straps are beautiful and I would use any of them, but the green and the James Bond are my favorites. I missed out on the ninja turtle so I will try my luck on this. As always, thank you for the content.
I was looking back at that original video where you got these blushark straps and I was wondering what ever happened to that leather strap that you showed off?? I've been checking their site regularly since you showed that off and haven't seen it for sale. What were your thoughts on it? Thanks Rob
These are awesome Natos! I especially like the AlphaShark Slim line. They are super comfortable and as mentioned by Justin M, Joe offers a buy 2 get the third free. So buy from the BluShark Site. I have to say that Toxic Shiznit gets an honorable mention.
I'm still waiting on a nato that will win me over. I like the looks of people wearing them on instagram just need to find the rite one....the seat belt weave looks interesting for sure.
Gee wiz they look great I would love to win one no preference for which one but have a couple of watches that these would look stunning on down the RAAF Museum stay safe mate
Send one to Portugal! Por favor! (Please!) Anyone... I like all of them... My adress is on the postcard :) Great job Rob that you are doing on this channel! Congrats. Bruno

Justin M. Couldn't agree more. Best NATOs I've found.

Rob I got your crown in the mail today. VARY excited to make my first mod on a watch. It’s going to look beautiful! Thanks again Rob.

peterjg Fellow Aussie here, I was wondering what are your thoughts on blushark vs thesydneystrapco nato straps?

Green one looks really nice. I will go to the website to grab 2 or straps for myself. Good luck!
Thanks for the review Rob...I love BluShark NATO straps for the hot months
Those are awesome! The green and the black and grey are really cool! Thanks for the review.
Good video as always Rob! You can't go wrong with BluShark. I have the alpha and the original and no complaints on any of their stuff. Great customer service also!
I’m in Australia and I’ve been buying BluShark. Their quality and service is outstanding.

love that green one.. and the thinness of it! Always love seeing strap videos :) Thx
The black nato looks nice!
I love BluShark! Their Khaki on the Alpinist sets it apart. The green, black n red Bond too. Thanks for the review.
We can’t go wrong with BluShark, very high quality and many choices of color NATO
I didn’t like nato at first but after trying one I really like them
Love their straps ! Have several and they are top notch! I want to try an AlphaSlim
The NATO strap can bring out design elements of a watch including bringing out colors from the dial. These straps last as well. I have an old Seiko 7002 dive watch and the seiko rubber straps just don't last!
Thanks for the vid. They look great. I love natos in the summer.
I have a couple of BlueShark straps and they are really comfy and holding up very well.
The looks are great! I have a few NATO straps but honestly, NATO straps don’t do it for me... the black & grey Nylon type on the video is what I like.
Love that Seiko Titanium! The square numbers on the dial and the spacing, might be my next buy.
I don't have use for a Nato strap right now, so you can skip me and make someone else happy :-) good luck everyone

Love it!! Thank you for your review. I've been meaning to try some BluShark Nato(s).
I'd gladly take one off your hands. Haven't tried blushark yet but have heard good things. The quality definitely seems great.
Lost count of how many I have. 18 maybe. Can't wait to add more. Great products and Joe is a Great guy to deal with.
I've got the vintage bond original for my Turtle. It's way better than the cheaper options out there. Worth every penny.
Line the blushark. I owned quite a few of the regular ones but only had the alpha once found it to think. There alpha slim I'm excited to try.
Nice review Rob! Love the Blu Shark NATO’s
Very nice straps especialy the seatbelt types. Maybe i should try one on my seiko.
Tried several different natos. Never tried a blu shark. Looking forward to the chance at one
I own a few Blue Sharks they are amazing quality and much more comfortable then the rubbery, silicone or plasticy straps.I wear them on many of my SSeiko's and Deep Blue that yes look like Seiko's.
Love square pins and holes. Super nice hardware all around.
They all look good to me, would like to try this brand
BluShark is top notch and Joe is a stand up guy!
You will get the blue gray nato.
Random Rob I remember! Thanks Rob!

I would love the navy original for my PADI Turtle - I think it will look great with the dial.
Thanks for another great video Rob :)
Freakkin LOVE NATO straps. Joe is awesome! My two favorite brands is BluShark and Toxic Natos. High quality straps...

BLUSHARK ARE THE BEST STRAPS. PERIOD.

That navy strap would look great on my watch!
How do the holes hold up on the premium ones?
I'm still waiting on a nato that will win me over. I like the looks of people wearing them on instagram just need to find the rite one....the seat belt weave looks interesting for sure.
