    Woke up before rest of the family and left for a jog around Fort Canning Park, rocking my Suunto HRM.

    After I learned how to adjust the OEM NATO, I was able to get this to fit my wrist. Now I'm completely obsessed with how comfortable it is.



    Side note, I really love my new coffee table. It's like 75 pound slab of wood on a metal frame, and I really like it as a backdrop for watch photos.

    Tudor OEM NATO is far from the average NATO; it makes the watch extremely comfortable on the wrist and doesn't have that horrible plastic feel some lesser quality textiles often show.

    It really is something else. I've tried a lot of NATOs that people wax poetic about, including the now vaunted BluSharks, and have walked away unimpressed. Nothing seemed like an upgrade to Maratac, Ague, C&B, or Gnomon. Of course, this costs several times any of those, but damn if it isn't one of the most comfortable straps I've ever owned. This thing is the iyonk of NATOs.

    Never tried a Tudor nato but me & natos don't mesh @ all. I'm kinda like you w/ them so I just got a Toxic Nato 2 days ago that every1 raves about & it's on the forums 4sale already. MEH.
    People sleep peaceably in their beds @ night ONLY because rough men stand ready to do VIOLENCE
    on their behalf.....

    Toxic are the ultra thick ones, right? BluSharks are like that and I didn’t care for them. They feel like broken springbars.

    don't get sucked into paying stupid money for a Tudor or an Omega nato my friend - no piece of cloth or nylon or whatever is worth that money -its a personal thing of course but really an unnecessary expense
