I like toxic natos personally. The NATO that came with Speedmaster is nice one but wouldn’t spend that much on a NATO by itself.

I am so loving these nato straps, they are amazing, sometimes I hate the feeling of a bracelet when it’s hot outside and to be honest the straps makes it extremely comfortable to wear, it’s something I didn’t think I needed it but thanks to apple watches sport bands it’s something I have gotten used to.

Also don’t forget that it’s a huge bonus to get the curved spring bars from Omega to make them slide easier!

But the Spectre bond strap is something I love, you can order the No time to die strap which has titanium materials all over, and why it goes for 308 from omega as a stand alone bracelet but still.

I’ve got a box full of NATOs from various companies and the overall quality of my green omega strap is miles ahead of the rest. That aside, I’m still not sure if they represent value for money as any NATO has a relatively short shelf life.

Does anybody ever cut the extra length off the end of the strap so they don't have to tuck it back under? I don't love the tuck
I've done it with mixed results... Have you tried Crown and Buckle Chevron?

Yeah, I sometimes wish I'd put some of the 100s I've spent on dozens of lesser NATOs from dozens of makers towards a few really good ones from the top tier. My Tudor and IWC NATOs are superb, well ahead in terms of hardware and fabric and fit, although I like the Toxics and Erika straps also. I have an Omega on order -- looking forward to trying it out.

I’ve had great luck with the single pass Canvas NATOs from Haveston straps on both my 2500 and 8500 P.O. Also, Watch Gecko has great quality straps. I’m in the US and shipping has been great from both companies from across the pond!

Omega NATO straps are very good quality.

I personally do not like the added height and layers. It just feels weird.

You can always cut the extra layer and make it a single pass strap. Just remember to seal the edge of the part you cut.

That extra layer on the nato works wonders, keeps the sweat and grime out of the watch and keeps it on the straps to be honest!! easier to clean
