OZBNATO

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 Watermelon (Green/Red Striped) $10 $6

How Do I Install the NATO Strap on My Watch?

    Unless you want to purchase locally, http://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/nato.

    There are multiple discounts that you can stack and the quality is pretty damn good - aka I'm comfortable enough strapping a +10k watch onto their leather natos.

  • CandyMan on 29/12/2016 - 21:39

    You should get some Zulu straps. I prefer them as they are stronger and the hardware is thicker, better quality. they look cool in the 5 ring version, great for dive watches. I want a bond NATO but doesn't took like you stock it?

    • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 29/12/2016 - 22:08

      Thanks for the feedback, Zulu straps and Bond NATOs are going on the list!

    • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 05/01/2017 - 11:58

      Thanks for the feedback! We are looking into ZULU straps right now, we have been working on getting stainless steel Apple Watch straps in and are just undergoing some final testing.

      I can confirm Bond NATOs are also coming - these will hopefully be in the store sometime next week :)

      • uradox on 05/01/2017 - 16:35

        I'd be keen to get one of the stainless steel apple watch straps from you if they are good. I got the black Milanese band delivered this week from you and it's great. Pity about the metal on my desk at work though that presents a problem when resting my wrists :)

        Would you consider getting 2mm thick nato straps as well? These 1.2mm ones many online stores sell are just cheap bits of fabric. I'd really like to get some really strong classic nato straps if you can get them at a good price.

        • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 05/01/2017 - 16:44

          Hi There,

          Thanks for the positive feedback it is much appreciated. We are currently looking into thicker NATO straps to address some of the feedback we have received regarding the thinness and quality. These would most likely cost a few dollars more than the straps we currently have on sale but if the market is willing to pay those extra few bucks we will definitely bring them in!

          I'm pretty confident with the quality of the stainless steel link bands we're currently testing - will provide an update once these are formally released on our store

        • uradox on 05/01/2017 - 18:44

          @Simonnn:

          Costing more is absolutely fine and expected! :) The thin ones are just fashion statements for lack of a better description which is fine but I actually like the purpose of a nice quality thicker one :)

          The cheap online stores usually only sell these thin ones, so it might be a good promotion for you if you guys end up getting the thicker ones in :)

        • nubzy on 05/01/2017 - 20:22

          @uradox: Check out the ZULU straps sold at cheapestnatostraps. They are a very very nice quality, I much prefer them to standard NATO.

          But I will buy a Bond NATO from OzStraps when they get them in if they can extend this deal.

  • kbflame on 29/12/2016 - 22:09

  • BargainCowboy on 29/12/2016 - 23:11

    How to determine the size? By the spring bars? I have this and it says 24mm as band width, you don't stock that size?

  • barydos on 29/12/2016 - 23:31

    Hi, have you looked into getting 'perlon' straps for sale? I've recently got a watch with them as a gift, and I think they're pretty dope.

    In the future we will try and do our best to be transparent with our product source so that the community know exactly what they're paying for!

    I once purchased some NATO straps from an Aussie distributor thinking I was helping some locals but although I received the straps a lot quicker than from the US, the quality was shockingly terrible with fraying everywhere.

    I have since bought straps from the US with no issues whatsoever.

    OP, could you please share with us where you sourced these NATO straps from?

    • AssociatedSevenSmurfs @ OzStraps on 30/12/2016 - 01:21

      Hi ChillBro - most definitely we can! Our NATO straps are sourced from the same supplier as these ones from Amazon. We've previously sold a significant number these without issue or complaint however, the advantage of being local is that we can rectify and issues experienced quickly :)

    • ilikeit on 31/12/2016 - 02:29

      They're all made in China.

    Update 30/12/2016, 1:34AM

    First of all, I'd just like to thank everyone for the support. I will do my best to make sure that all orders are fulfilled in a timely manner.

    On this note, certain NATO straps which were out of stock in our online store have now been adjusted so that the deal may live on for a bit longer.

    To be honest we were not expecting such an overwhelming response to this deal and we are actually running low on the spring bars that were specified as a bonus in this deal. You may however reuse your existing watch spring bars with the new NATO straps without issue, but I would still like to apologise to those that may be inconvenienced by this (we will still be aiming to provide as many spring bars as possible in the orders)

    • BargainCowboy on 30/12/2016 - 13:26

      Oh, I actually lost the old spring bars. So should I not order just yet?

      • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 30/12/2016 - 14:00

        I've shot you a PM, we will sort something out for you :)

      Hi hyper4ctive! Looks like there's definitely a demand for Perlon options, so we will definitely do some research for a good Perlon band to bring in :)

  • butter on 30/12/2016 - 04:26

    Itching to get one for my SKX: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1021/1669/files/IMG_201608…

    Also, are you planning on getting some stainless bracelets in? I am in the market for a solid link Oyster as well.

    Thanks!

    • AssociatedSevenSmurfs @ OzStraps on 30/12/2016 - 08:12

      Hi sabaramo, we will most likely get more in stock hopefully sometime next week. That's a nice seiko diver watch!

      We were actually actively looking at bringing in stainless bracelets (for standard watches and apple watche). Unfortunately the ones we found did not have the quality we were looking for and thus we are sampling more products before committing to bringing them in.

    • ilikeit on 31/12/2016 - 03:04
      +1

      If you want solid end links for your SKX, Strapcode make the best oyster Here: and Here:. Otherwise there are other options such as the Chinese Super Engineer that have straight bars and are high quality and very cheap WUS link:.

      • WatchNerd on 02/01/2017 - 16:12
        +1

        I have read that Strapcode Oyster Bracelets are very good but US$55.99 is a bit rich, I would rather put that money towards another watch.
        When you consider the Aragon Divemaster is US$110 shipped and it already has a nice bracelet with solid links and end pieces it's hard to justify.

        Thanks for the link to the Super Engineer, bookmarked as I may get one for my SKX007 sometime.

          I've been trying so hard to convince myself why I need the Chinese Super Eng. But I really like having a balance between steel and NATO/RAF straps, especially in summer.

          @28Degrees: Not mine and on a Strapcode, but same, same. I'm thinking at 22mm with no taper that it looks a bit chunky for me, especially since the SKX wears a bit on the smaller side.

  • Shiny Mew on 30/12/2016 - 20:55

    I wouldn't have honestly thought there was any room in the aftermarket strap market for another business, even local, given the popularity and seemingly unbeatable value proposition offered by cheapestnatostraps.com for both local US and international customers.

    I know that there has not really been a similarly low-cost business set up in AU but given the tighter margins, even by being able to offer quicker and more satisfactory customer service, is our market big enough?

    I'm not trying to discourage, just interested in the business case. :)

    • AssociatedSimonnn @ OzStraps on 30/12/2016 - 21:21
      +3

      Hi Shiny Mew! You raise some good points here, to be frank it is and will continue to be tough. However, judging by the positive response I have received from the OzBargain community I do believe there is a market out there and I am determined to keep pushing forward to provide the local market with what they want to see in our local stores.

      I am really trying to listen and focus on what the community wants and to be an approachable business which is clearly taking customer feedback on board. Some live examples: we are currently working on bringing in Stainless Steel Apple Watch link bands as that has popped up a few times over the last few days, Bond NATO straps will also be coming your way and the team is also currently looking into Perlon/Zulu straps etc.

      From a dollar perspective you are right, there are many things that need to be considered if this is to be a successful business long term. However, at this stage I am really trying to find my place within the market so I am focusing on exploring what the market wants rather than the profit margins (that's not to say I'm happy to lose too much money on each transaction!).

      If we take NATO straps as an example, the balance between quality and price is key. If the market is happy to pay a premium for a higher quality band (or vice versa), this is something I'm definitely willing to investigate so keep the feedback coming guys! :)

    Ordered a few of these NATO straps which came today. Didn't realise they were cheaply glued together and not stitched. For a $10 NATO strap it's extremely disappointing to find them glued, the second little strap is already losing it's bond! They come in nice packaging but really they are what you would find for $2 on ebay. These are a real disappointment and would not recommend.

    Another niche area: I have and old Seiko Kinetic that uses silicon strap (22mm I think). Is hard to find a reasonable strap replacement. I think there'w quite a few other Seiko divers watches that also use the silicon straps also. Thanks :D

    I'm still waiting for the "Deep Sea" and "Obsidian Black" to be back in stock. Do you have an ETA?

      Hi sseiya76!

      Yep!

      All will be back in stock tonight with a greater range to choose from too (based off the feedback we received) :)

      Check back at around 7-8pm tonight. Promotion still applies!
