Something that has been reviewed and shown numerous times by others, but love your great fun take on this. 👍🏻😁

I wear mine the normal way. Thank you for showing us another way.

[mrlume]

Thank you for showing this my strap was a little loose but doing it this way it's just right.

The new alternative way did make the watch feels closer fit to hand, thanks for sharing

[kristiyandimitrov]

Yeah, naah... I knew about this method and gave a try, but having to go thru the loop and then the buckle when putting on the watch was so annoying that I went for the scissors and my life is better and happier now :) Don't be afraid of the scissors guys!

Nato & Speedmaster a perfect combination.

[fortza]

It is, and now I love my NATO strap much more!!

[JackHolt_Mattr]

Thanks for this! I always feel a little weird cutting a strap!

[amder]

You literally stoped me with a scissors in hand)

'So how DO you wear your NATO strap?' Thinking I might regret asking that question...

I was wearing my natos in this sort of way and it was great. But one day, on a whim, I decided to wear my nato the traditional way and I have not returned to the alternate way. For some reason (prior military here) I prefer the traditional way for my 42mm and below watches. The traditional way has a way of making smaller watches look bigger than they are. And, I dig that. 😂

Criticism of the NATO strap is totally unjustified. Cutting the extra strap or reworking it like explained here defeats the purpose of keeping the watch away from the wrist to allow ventilation and lessen sweating. Also the watch can be stowed by reverse looping and it provides substantial cover for the front and back of the watch when kept with other items in the bag or pocket. It's the ultimate utilitarian strap.

Wow! Thanks for showing this. You just saved me like $200 plus dollars on a regular strap for my Speedmaster

[ricardodiaz]

I buy duplicate straps and cut them for my taller watches. I’ve tried your suggested method, but didn’t like it at all. Great video, thank you.

[glennt]

You put the end part of the strap incorrectly it should go over the first ring then under the second ring. Not under both rings.

Have a NATO coming for my Casio Duro and this is how I plan to wear it.

[MrMooseful]

W. T. F. My whole life... has been a lie? 😱😂 Only you can make a video about a NATO strap fun to watch 👍😂

[PaoloZucchetti]
