Hi OzBargain Community!

About Me

I am Simon from OzStraps (www.ozstraps.com.au), we are a new small local business that has been up and running for the past 3 months.

The reason I started this business is because I wanted to purchase some replacement watch straps to freshen up some of the older watches I owned, however I realised that our local online stores were quite expensive compared to overseas options.

The Bargain

Anyway, enough about me, onto the bargain!

I am offering 40% off all NATO straps for OzBargain customers (for a limited time only). Simply use the coupon code OZBNATO upon checkout.

https://ozstraps.com.au/collections/the-nato-series

Is This Actually a Bargain?

To be completely transparent, a quick eBay/Aliexpress search for NATO watch straps will result in millions of results with prices ranging from ~$2 to $80. This is because the quality of watch straps in the market can vary significantly which is reflected in the price.

With OzStraps I believe I have struck a balance between affordability and quality to provide Australians with a bang for buck product. I also provide the following:

  • Free delivery via Australia Post is included on all purchases
  • Orders over $20 get free Express shipping with a tracking number
  • Complimentary spring bars will be provided with every purchase
  • Local support and warranty available should you have any issues or require assistance
  • Every order is hand packed with love by me :)
Product Original Price Discounted Price
Admiralty Grey (Grey) $10 $6
Army Green (Green) $10 $6
Deep Sea (Black/Blue Striped) $10 $6
Imperial Blue (Dark Blue) $10 $6
Obsidian Black (Black) $10 $6
Sky High (Light Blue/White Striped) $10 $6
Sublime Time (Grey/Green Striped) $10 $6
The Island (Green/White/Orange Striped) $10 $6
The Regimental (Blue/White/Red Striped) $10 $6
The Submarine (Grey/Light Blue Striped) $10 $6

      The NATO strap is actually based upon the standard watch strap issued by the British Military defence! These days I'd say it is more of a fashion statement than anything serious :)

      Hi Moo!

      Yes, we have leather straps available in either the Boston (3 Pin Clasp) or Mayfair (Deployment/Butterfly Clasp) Collections.

      Links to these can be found below:
      * The Boston Series
      * The Mayfair Series

      • [Deactivated] on 29/12/2016 - 21:48

        Hi Simon, do you custom make watch straps and can you get alligator straps? I used to be able to order custom-made alligator straps from France but i don't think you can import alligator straps anymore. I need straps at special length to fit my deployant clasp. Thanks in advance.

        • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 29/12/2016 - 21:55

          Hi There! The Boston and Mayfair Series provided in the link above come in an alligator style, however I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're after. We are looking into custom straps behind the scenes but it might be a while yet before a public release, watch this space :)

    • WorkAround on 29/12/2016 - 19:46

      The leather ones linked are the same as iStrap leather bands from AliExpress…

      Down to the same stock images vs OzStraps.

      Whether you want to buy "local" or save a few bucks and wait 2-4 weeks it's up to you.

        Good eye! iStrap is our preferred distributor for our leather bands as we have found that their quality exceeds that of the other products which we sampled. We are an official distributor of iStrap products so if there is anything else in their catalogue that interests you, we can work out a deal with iStrap and bring them in for a competitive local price.

      Hi Supnigs! We recognise that there is a large variation in quality/price of NATO straps available online. We are however, confident in our product offering - so much so that we are willing to offer local Australian support and warranty for any issues you may experience. This is something which we hope our customers will consider prior to making a purchase from us!

      Whether you want to buy "local" or save a few bucks and wait 2-4 weeks it's up to you."

      If the leather straps are iStraps off AliExpress what are the chances of the NATOs being AliExpress specials?

      If your value proposition is quick and free shipping from Australia with a small price premium (compared to AliExpress) then be up front and stick with that instead of passing off your product as superior even though they're sourced from the same place with the same materials.

        • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 29/12/2016 - 20:21

          If an order total is over $20 it will be shipped via Australia Post Express Post (complete with tracking number).

          The Express post guarantee from Australia Post is "We guarantee next business day delivery if you post your item within our Express Post network on a business day (Monday to Friday)" so I think its safe to say you would get the package pretty quickly!

          Otherwise if you are in a real rush and are local in VIC we could always organise a pickup in person :)

It's an urgent gift, whereabouts are you if I want to pickup tomorrow? Could also do this evening but I assume you won't be around then.

          Also.. Do I just need the strap only? Or do I need an adapter as well? I noticed on another band that it was included, and this one is even more premium so am surprised if it isn't.

    For those who don't know, NATO straps are cheap yet very functional and comfortable and can come in many many different colours/styles. Easy to fit on most watches and easy to shorten to fit your wrist. They are also nice and secure so if you do active stuff there's a lesser chance of losing your watch due to pin/strap breaks.

    And because they are so cheap and easy to fit and easily washable, you can clean your filthy filthy watch bands after doing a ton of exercise/getting dirty.

      The Samsung gear s3 uses an ordinary 22mm watch band if I'm not mistaken.

      This means that any 22mm band from our shop, NATO or Leather will be compatible :)

      • iridiumstem on 29/12/2016 - 19:42

        From the link you've linked for NATO band, it does look like it'd block the heart rate monitor (which is located on the bottom). Wouldn't that be an issue?

          +1

          Unforunately we are not able to confirm the heart rate monitor functionality at the moment as we don't have a Galaxy Gear S3 on hand for testing (we have been working through the Apple Watch bands over the last few weeks). However, if there are any issues faced after you receive the band feel free to contact us and we will make sure you're a happy customer :)

    bought 2 for my old moto360 with it's filthy, disgusting, vile, sweat filled leather strap. they probably won't fit but for $12 it's worth the gamble.

    • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 29/12/2016 - 20:02
      +2

      Hi Bundy23 - to my knowledge the Moto360 uses a 22mm watch band, however you may need an adapter of some sort to fit the bands. As I'm not confident on the fitment without further research I'm happy to organise a refund for you prior to the item being shipped out if that is your preference.

      Otherwise as you mentioned you can see how you go once you receive the band. In any case thanks for shopping with us!

        It was a bit of a let down to be honest.
