Randon Watch Bands NATO Strap Watch Straps Premium Ballistic Nylon Strap Stainless Steel Buckle

Randon Watch Bands NATO Straps  are great NATO straps, comparable to the  AlphaShark by BluShark , which I love. I am also a big fan of  BluShark Original NATO straps . The AlphaShark NATOs are $32 each, I bought a set of two Randon straps for $16.99, so Randon's straps are about 1/4 the price. The Randon straps are just as good as the AlphaShark straps from my experience. The Randon buckle is a little stiff, but it is loosening up. I've only had these for a few days, so we'll see how they hold up. If I have any problems, I will update this review to reflect that.The only downside I see with these is the limited color options. I bought the Black/Black & Gray NATO set in 20mm and upon seeing their quality, I bought the Black/Black & Gray (Bond) in 22mm a few days later. The 20mm Bond was out of stock, but now it's in stock. I would've bought that set if available and it would be nice if these could be purchased as single straps.I highly recommend these straps for anyone that is looking for a seatbelt-style NATO strap. These straps are good quality for a great, affordable price. I would definitely buy these in more colors if offered.

Very pleased with the quality at this price, hopefully they will continue to make these. The hardware quality and finish is superior to any other Nato/ Zulu straps I have seen on Amazon. The material seems to be a higher quality, seat belt material as some compare them to. These straps are worthy of higher end watch use, the material has a look and feel of quality - there is a sheen, or shininess, but the material seems as they it will hold up for some time. No fraying noticed after one month or so of use....installed on a Marathon JSAR and also a Casio MDV 106. I only ask that more colors are offered - orange, dark red, blue, dark gray/ gray/ silver, olive, tan and maybe some other striped options....at least in 22mm size....they will sell very well.

Excellent strap but...This strap feels just like a seat belt, silky smooth surface. High density, fine weaving surely will last long time. The hardware such as the buckle and retainers are of excellent quality. The strap is thicker than usual nato straps, it's 1.4mm thick. Probably will outlast your watch or it might even outlast your wrist. It's identical to the strap that comes with OMEGA watches. But, unlike regular NATO straps the turning radius around the spring bars is wider. The strap itself doesn't fold over flat. So, it feels a little uncomfortable at first. The finish feels silky smooth on the skin but not as conforming as cheap feeling regular NATO straps. Maybe after wearing for a while it might soften up or conform around the wrist better, like breaking in a new leather shoe. Not sure about that, however if you have a watch with 22mm lug width i suggest getting the 20mm wide strap, because at 22mm wide it might feel even more stiff and bulky. I cut off the second layer the "short strap" to reduce the bulk, converting it into single layer, RAF style strap. The second layer "short strap" is there so the watch doesn't slide out when you're putting it on or off. Considering how thick this strap is, I see no spring bar or watch sliding off of it. Excellent manufacture and material quality. Just be careful, this might be too much of a good thing.

I've bought NATO style straps from Blu Shark and Crown & Buckle, and find the Randon straps to be of similar quality to those brands but at a lower price. These particular Randons are comparable to the high-end Blu Shark Alpha straps which have a softer and more luxurious weave. I do think the Blu Sharks are of slightly higher overall quality, but for the price the Randon straps can't be beat.I don't think I'd use one of these on a really heavy or big watch - for that, the Blu Shark Orca is a heavier-duty workhorse (whale?) of a strap, but for a lightweight watch like my Citizen Promaster Diver the Randon looks and feels awesome and is very secure.Highly recommended!

This is my first time purchasing and using NATO straps, and I think I'm hooked. These straps have good stainless steel hardware, and thick nylon. Swapping my watches leather bands for the NATO really changed the look. Two straps were included, as well as 4 spring bars and the tool, a great bargain for the price. I'm wearing these straps on two Timex Mod 44 watches, and they look amazing.I wish they offered more colors, but since they don't, I'll have to look elsewhere. I know that if I find an alternative with this quality, it will be more expensive. If I find one at this price, it will be poorer quality.If you're ok with black / black+silver, you will love these straps.

I have only owned two brands of NATO straps. The first I ever bought was a Luminox brand NATO that I (foolishly) bought thinking I needed to buy the brand-name strap. The second was the original BluShark. While I have own numerous BluSharks, and love the variety they give, the weave on them is a little rough.Enter the Randon NATO, a quality set of 2 NATOs for $2 less than a BluShark. These are my first “Seatbelt” style NATO straps, but I must say they are FANTASTIC. Soft, long, and fitted with nice brushed hardware as well as sealed adjustment holes, these straps bring and air of luxury to a tool type of strap. This particular set, has a black and a Spectre Bond pattern. The latter is seen on my Lorier Neptune and the former will soon make its way onto my Invicta Pro Diver.Bottom Line: I just received these straps but will update my review in 2 weeks and again in a month. My initial impression is that these straps will last just as long as my other straps.UPDATE ( May 19, 2019): These straps are still holding up quite well. Like every NATO style strap, they have frayed a little bit. It’s been nothing that a lighter couldn’t stop. I’ve worn mine almost daily since I received it, only switching it out to go to the gym.
