I recently took advantage of CNS & Watch Bands' Black Friday sale, purchasing a variety of watch bands, including NATO, classic leather, single pass, and marine NATO.
The quality, colors, and build of the bands are absolutely fantastic.
A similar haul in from them yesterday and I have no complaints. It included my first leather band from them, of which I was apprehensive. Wearing it today. For the ~$12 it cost it's very good. And it only took about a week and a half for the cheapest shipping route.
I bought a pile during an earlier sale and Iโve been very impressed. I think Iโve purchased elastic bands from other vendors that must be sourced by CNS

That's the gag of it. It's not like anybody makes their own webbing. If it looks exactly like the material used elsewhere, it's probably because it is.

The leather one was the weak point in my selection, but it was $1.95 on sale. Good enough at that price.
I've stopped ordering from CNS because the shipment takes forever to arrive and their leather straps are substandard. Poor quality leather and construction that will not last a year on your wrist. Might as well have been from AliExpress.
CNS Marine straps {notice you have 3) are different than other Marine straps for install... So that you can avoid the 2 hours that myself and other CNS marine buyers have gone through. Here's a quick tutorial:
Make sure the buckle side is above the 12 and the hook side is below the six but only by about an inch or two. That way you get a single pass strap and you can adjust the slider above the 12

They seem to always be culling low sellers or something. There is a good amount of stuff that is not marked down, so they aren't playing that game, at least not at full scale.

Need your help doing this style makes it longer and my wrist is not that large ๐๐ ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน

Hmmm, to make it shorter, you may have to put 2layers under one spring bar and then adjust the clasp?
Or maybe just do a double pass like you had it before unless you take it apart and restitch it with some needle and thread. That's my only thoughts is to make it shorter is to cut it and move the hook clasp up and then re-stitch it.

Try hook clasp an inch from the 6, and then slide the buckle all the way to the watch at the 12th. That'll be about as small as it'll go and if it's still too small then see previous thoughts
ive bought alot of them over the years, i literally tried every style of strap they have and the quality varies strongly. My favourite are the bronco leather straps by far. the biggest problem is their customer service. In about every 2nd order they put in the wrong size straps, 2 times already i received 17mm straps instead of 18 or 20 and when contacting them i had to change mails with them for like 9 times, i had to make pictures with a ruler and everything and they STILL told me they dont think its 17 im just doing it wrong! And we are talking a 7 $ strap so they making that big of a fuss with someone that buys hundreds of straps from you is insane.

That's not a good sign ๐. They should improve the after sales for sure. A good product should have a equally good after sales.

I have had a decent hit rate with their leather straps. The ones that failed have been cause of poor band keepers.
Looks great ! I am drawn to 4, 7 & 8 left to right.

Despite them being Cheapest NATO Straps, I still don't think I've ordered a thing from them at full price.
