Perdix with NATO strap?

[Yellowdog]

If this has been discussed I did not find it with a quick search. Has anyone tried NATO style watch straps with the Perdix?

Do you mean to wear the Perdix with two NATO straps? What would be the advantage over the straps supplied with the computer?

A nato is one piece, if a spring bar comes off, the other spring bar (or strap bar, I think these are screwed in) will retain the computer, with the two piece strap that comes with the Teric is one side let’s go the computer falls off.

There are no spring bars, or moveable bars, in the Perdix.

I am referring to the Perdix as designated by the OP. The Perdix is designed for use with two straps.

Oops, I thought he was asking about the Teric, you are correct the perdex has two independent straps.

I am just not 100% sold on the bungee or the oem straps and keep trying to find a better ( for me ) solution. Tried this one as well but still not 100% happy.

Again, are you thinking about a single NATO strap or a pair? I would be interested if you found a single strap satisfactory. Even if you decide on a single NATO strap it seems there is an advantage to the OEM strap in being elastic, simple, and easy to install and adjust. The NATO might be more individualistic or attractive.

I was thinking of a pair. Not sure why exactly, I just find the oem straps a bit lacking.
