How to Wear a NATO | Don't Cut the Strap! Alternative Method

Put those scissors down! I'll show you how to alter a NATO watch strap without cutting or damaging it. If the little flap at the end of the strap bugs you, or you don't like how high a traditional NATO double-pass strap feels or looks, this alternative method to wearing a NATO style strap may be for you. We'll convert it to a single pass strap without cutting. I've found that I like the look and comfort of this alternative method better, and I don't lose any of the benefits or features of the traditional way of wearing a NATO strap on my watch.

The best way ever, I bought a nato strap with adaptors for my dw5600, I tried different styles but this is the best !

[OnetoWatch]

I tend to try this method first and either stick with it if it wears comfortably and looks good or cut the extra piece off to convert to a single pass! Anyway, very clearly explained that’ll be useful to many nato wearers!! 👍

Great video mate! My hamilton Khaki pvd black just came in and the strap was bugging me, this solution is perfect! thx

Your voice should be narrating The Dukes of Hazard. Great vid thanks.

It's amazing how the second layer of nato strap raises the watch 1/2 inch off the wrist.

With this method, having the holes near the watch case, it could be good even for very small wrists! 🔝

[DavidSchwartzjr]

Yes! I like this method a lot especially with thicker case dimensions because it wears more slim on the wrist! Great tips and tutorial! Also, that watch looks awesome! What brand/model is that?

[ronny]

Glad you kept the tutorial short. Funny way to end your video but in your case if you cut that second layer and move the watch closer to the clasp in order not to see the holes you will end up with that little flap still up there to annoy you :)

1:45 that part rly depends on your preference and size of your bracelet.

I haven't tried a NATO strap yet but I'm going to do it just to see but they kind of look like a pain in the butt

[KidAMRadio]

Neither method is very comfortable on wrist. I still find it best to cut the third loop.

This method just turn a bulk strap more bulk. Scissors rule, these straps are cheap and easy available.

There is another way, but trying to explain it would take forever ... MrsGoogle has the answer tho' 😊
