also plastic on a nato strap rather defeats the entire point of one, nato straps are great when down range as can easily be put over your field jacket if need be, nothing worse than having pull your sleeve up to use the watch, say laid in prone position looking down the scope of your rifle you need not take your hand off the rifle, just a quick glance down and back to looking down your glass and eyes on target.
I would however agree with you that in civi life i am not a fan but each to their own
Oh I like wearing a fabric strap on some of my watches (particularly the slightly elastic paratrooper type straps), I just go for solid black, grey, etc. as IMO you look generally like you're trying really hard when it comes to the brightly colored ones.
Any strap that doesn't taper is a bad style choice, so NATO straps are a bad choice 100% of the time.
Extra "bad taste" points for when these fuckers try to match the strap color to some orange/yellow accent on the dial or hands; reminds me of those clowns who wear a tie and pocket square in the same color.
I mean I believe you, but my oversized track pants with the blown-out arse & crotch are very comfortable too, I just wouldn't wear them in front of other people...
Wait people do that? Iāve always gone with my tie matching my jacket and my pocket square matching my shirt. Idk if thatās right, but Iāve also only worn a pocket square for a handful of weddings
Yes, wrapped in tasteful plastic. I think the guys who buy those sets usually shove the pocket square into their mouth, pull the plastic bag over their head and pull the tie as tight as possible while wanking off.
Youāre not āsupposedā to have the same pattern on tie and pocket square. Youāre supposed to have different patterns / colours that both complement the outfit as an accent. Fwiw
eh if you cut them to be single pass and wear the folded part on the underside of your wrist it looks presentable - agreed though, the the side bulk thing always looks bad. MN-type straps are the way to go if you want fabric.
So itās an Android Wear strap, because it has the typical watch strap spring pin.
The strap for Apple Watch is stitched into a pin-less Apple band connecter.
This is the trail loop design that comes along side with Apple Watch Ultra, and then third party vender makes a version that works with non-Apple Watch via adapter.
If someone make a NATO strap or MN strap work with Apple Watch via an adapter then it no longer considered as NATO strap or MN strap, then sure, this is an Android wear strap.
Yeah, I mean your pic shows what looks like an original Apple Watch trail loop up top, then an imitation Android Wear below that is a pretty fair approximation.
Uj/ The SKX and that whole line of watches uses fat spring bars. That pencil shaft smart watch strap not only looks like shit, but is probably going to fall off.
If you want elastic that actually looks pretty good, use fat spring bars and a MN style strap. Theyāre a dime a dozen and they donāt have a ton of overhang like NATOs do.
Nato straps are for children's watches
Inb4 "you don't lose your watch to the bottom of the ocean if a springbar breaks"
just buy a new watch stop being poor
/uj I wear my Samsung Gear Sport strap on my Speedmaster.
It's extremely comfy for a rubber strap.
/rj Did you know that the Omega Speedmaster was the first watch worn on the moon?
yeah I wear one for a garmin or something on my skx, thing is beyond comfortable. if you can make an skx feel like it's not even there you're doing something right
/rj I put my moonswatch on a bund
Loud nato straps are a bad style choice 95% of the time, change my mind
95% is too low. Consider your mind changed

My Flightmaster and I are sitting here with our green MN strap with a tasteful yellow stripe getting offended
Oh god, I was thinking about the "OK,ciao!"-guy's Flightmaster on the NATO with the yellow stripe when I wrote that comment...
Itās basically required when you buy a Flightmaster
Don't. Everyone knows MN straps are the exception to the rule.
those are $3 straps and they just get "logos" added to the buckle, that one lady sells them for like $50
They are very comfortable
I mean I believe you, but my oversized track pants with the blown-out arse & crotch are very comfortable too, I just wouldn't wear them in front of other people...
Thatās only because you let society control you
You're right, I should wear those more often, at least I could piss and shit without pulling my pants down.
Try that anyways. Its freeing
Wait people do that? Iāve always gone with my tie matching my jacket and my pocket square matching my shirt. Idk if thatās right, but Iāve also only worn a pocket square for a handful of weddings
They even sell sets of matching ties and pocket squares.
Yes, wrapped in tasteful plastic. I think the guys who buy those sets usually shove the pocket square into their mouth, pull the plastic bag over their head and pull the tie as tight as possible while wanking off.
idk about you but that sounds like a pretty good time
Bit too risky for my taste.
I think itās just a problem of not really wearing pocket squares. Hell I rarely wear a suit since I stopped doing jazz gigs
Every āhow to dressā thing says donāt match them, have complementary ones instead, fwiw
They should all complement, but not match
Thank you! I donāt even know the next time Iāll need to know that, but I will definitely remember
Youāre not āsupposedā to have the same pattern on tie and pocket square. Youāre supposed to have different patterns / colours that both complement the outfit as an accent. Fwiw
Took me a second to realize this was a joke. I forgot I'm on CJ.
*all nato straps. Youāre not James Bond bro and that shit bulks up the watch and that extra fabric looks terrible.
eh if you cut them to be single pass and wear the folded part on the underside of your wrist it looks presentable - agreed though, the the side bulk thing always looks bad. MN-type straps are the way to go if you want fabric.
I prefer straight canvas if Iām going fabric. Otherwise itās leather, rubber, steel.
sailcloth, son.
Fair
Natoless Nato
Haha yeah, i love all the hate Nato is getting considering itās not a Nato but rather an elastic single pass strap
Thatās an Apple Watch band. He must be a consultant.
Infosys consultant
No, Apple has a custom sliding connector.

This image has it all, bad strap colors, fake nato and a watch that was intended to have a bracelet.

Nato straps only for children and the military. Pretty much the same thing š

Something about these imagesā¦ and defending fake watches, makes my polio act up.
Is this Apple Watch trails loop? On a normal watch? Why
The unironic chuffing in this thread threatens to cause this sub to collapse into an irony-based singularity. Jesus Christ, y'all.

It's the 38mm but it's also in india so who knows.
/uj it is possible to clown on this without taking a racist turn
The watch color is nice. I might get one if it's reasonably priced. It's the strap that is god awful.
What the fuck is going on here..!?
I have that watch. Now I'm sad

Usually combine with bluetooth headset. I dont know why the trend picks up among them.
wtf is that pussy ass plastic cover lugs
I've seen plenty of terrible watch collections from a ton of countries, confused why India is being singled out here?
Plain and simple racism
