Nomos knit strap?

Post by djh1201 » Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:59 pm

These look pretty cool - wonder if this one is waterproof. Anyone know anything about these straps?

That Nomos strap sucks.

It's as comfortable as a new Perlon, which is to say, not very.

If it's like Perlon, it breaks in to VERY comfy after a little while.

I don't think it's a great match on the Ahoi, but I like the concept.

Sweet watch, on a $5 strap. I'd ask them to ship it to me on a NATO instead.

The Ahoi works much better on Horween leather.

i didn't think it felt very comfy, either. maybe it would break in, but it sure doesn't feel nice to start.
