Something that has been reviewed and shown numerous times by others, but love your great fun take on this. 👍🏻😁
Mark P thank you! :-) Worth repeating if only to save those poor straps from getting sliced up 😪😄
I wear mine the normal way. Thank you for showing us another way.
Very welcome, thanks for following along! 90 percent of the time I also wear it the absolute normal way, i dont mind the extra mm of thickness. There is of course, no 'best' way ;-)
simple, yet REVOLUTIONARY.
Im going to start wearing mine like that now. Thanks for posting. Subscribed. 😀👍
Scott Burnett thanks a lot for the support Scott!
@@degriff Your welcome, your watch channel is a breath of fresh air. I look forward to more content.👍
@@mrlume9475 Scott that is genuinely a pleasure to read and very encouraging, truly thank you so much!
Thank you for showing this my strap was a little loose but doing it this way it's just right.
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. 😂
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!
😂👍 Totally! Do whatever works for you 🤠👍👍👍
'So how DO you wear your NATO strap?' Thinking I might regret asking that question...
I wear it with hardware under but instead of folding it into the two harnesses I just loop it around the first and into the second harness.
I wear it the normal way I tried and it drove me nuckin futs
The new alternative way did make the watch feels closer fit to hand, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That’s a new one! Cool video buddy 😁
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.
Thanks for this! I always feel a little weird cutting a strap!
Reminds me of that scene from GoT... Shame, shame, shaaame... ;-) Put those scissors away! Cheers Jack, thanks a lot!
@@degriff That was an incredible acting job on that scene. Unforgettable.
It's one thing if it's a $8 Aliexpress strap, but I couldn't bring myself to cut a nice one!
Nato & Speedmaster a perfect combination.
You literally stoped me with a scissors in hand)
😂🙏
Wow! Thanks for showing this. You just saved me like $200 plus dollars on a regular strap for my Speedmaster
If you were going to spend $200 on a watch strap, why not buy my Oceanfront property in New Mexico. Hit me up.
This is the way my friends.
Death to the flap!
W. T. F. My whole life... has been a lie? 😱😂 Only you can make a video about a NATO strap fun to watch 👍😂
MrMooseful 😂 to keep your mind going 🤯 know that you can also move the watch higher or lower on the strap, and basically orientate the hardware whichever side you want on your wrist 😄 Thanks for the continued support!!
It is, and now I love my NATO strap much more!!
Cool vid. Thanks for sharing.
Anonymous most welcome, thanks for the feedback!
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.
Thank You. So nice.
I use another method. On the bare strap I first pull the strap through the loop of the flappy bit, then fold it back on itself with the loop as close to the other two. Then add the watch and see to it that the extra bit of folded flappy strap reaches right in-between the lugs. This will keep it in place. Now wear it as you would normally do. If you want to show how I do it: czcams.com/video/pIYm9ChtkDE/video.html
Strap'm on!
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.
I dont like it either. Makes the strap too tight
Have a NATO coming for my Casio Duro and this is how I plan to wear it.
during a visit in a Hamilton factory the guide show me the same way to wear a nato strap
must have been a very cool visit! Have yet to tour their premises. certainly would love to do that at some point
Great vid!
thank you!
Do you have 28mmsize nato strap I need 2 pics
Anyone else going out to buy a speed master after this video?
what nato straps are those please? (on the watches)
R3dsnow 75 thanks for watching and asking! They are from our shop, briefly sold out but they will return shortly. Link here: shop.atelierdegriff.com/product/flex-a-nato-20mm-duo-pack
This will not work with smaller wrist, sadly... Because this method is wrong, anyway.
Single pass all the way
Fold back or tuck in is the real question??
Haha true indeed. For me - depends on the day. Mostly tuck in...
Thank goodness there's a right way to shorten the strap! But why was it made so long?
To wear it over a jacket
It's one of of few bands that fit my wrist
Btw, that NATO strap on the speedy is awesome. Where did you get it?
Thank you, it is from our shop :-) shop.atelierdegriff.com 😄🙏
@@degriff do you have 28mmsize nato strap please I need to pis
There's only one way to wear a NATO strap, the way it was designed to be worn. It was designed as such, that if the watch became in anyway detached from one lug, it would still be attached to the other lug, thus not loosing the watch. Therefore, to chop a NATO, or not fit it correctly, is to mess with the fundamental integrity of the design, so what's the point?
Thumbnail has a "You are doing it wrong", which is a horrible click-bait thing that has to go.
Now that you mention it. Can’t disagree. I will update it. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
I lived my life all wrong....
Except its not a nato strap its a Zulu strap which is different!!!!!
Cut off that extra piece of material as it serves no use whatsoever.
It’s purpose is to secure the watch head to the strap. It does serve a purpose.
you change so many times the angle of the camera that finally nothing is clear to see
Thank you for the feedback Simon. It was my attempt at trying to show it more clearly :-) Will take into account for future videos, thanks for watching!
Why is the extra little flap there in the first place??
To stop the watch itself from sliding around
I think it is also allows you to have the strap nice and tight without putting too much stress on the springbars.
If a spring bar breaks it saves the watch
tamsak done #crismangubat vlogs
Bought my first NATO recently and I'm glad I saw your video. Excellent.
It sits perfect rather than the buckle on the side of my wrist. All the conceited like 2 layers of nylon bulking up their watch
Don`t like how it wares-Don`t buy it. :D Simple as that
I wear a Suunto M9 on the inside of my Chris Ward. Be a man, cut the strap.
👍👍
Why they make it too long ?
To fit over sleeves etc… so you have plenty of room to spare
