I got this watch in (per Broke's advice) a couple of weeks ago. But, like others, I wasn't a huge fan of the leather band, so I went ahead and ordered up some Nato bands for it. I have never liked any watch straps other than metal until now. I love the nylon strap. This one is from Crown and Buckle, and is the "original" Bond colors of Black and Olive. Thanks again Broke!

I'd put a nato band on almost any watch if the rest of my attire allowed it. I mean I'm not going to wear it with dress clothes, but I can take a dressy watch and make it a good jeans and a polo watch by throwing a nato band on it.

Looks like you could fit it around your waist like a belt. Maybe just the pic.

Did you need a tool to change the bands?

I'm clueless. I have a Tissot I'd like to repurpose for summer with a Nato. I think it's 19MM. How do you swap out the band? Jeweler?

I know. I'm dumb.

Looks like a watch I had in middle school. Matched my shell necklace.

I had to replace the band on a garmin gps watch a few months ago and it came with an included tool that I used. Took 3 minutes, max. Here is a link to something similar on amazon:

I too ordered one based on Broke's thread from last week.


I love the watch and have gotten quite a few compliments on it already.

I didn't like the strap either. I thought about a nato strap but I wanted the watch to be a little dressier thatn that.

I just ordered this strap:

Why do you need a watch if you have a cellphone ?
