I was in search for a strap for my Seiko (my first ever mechanical watch), as I wanted something different from the bracelet that my watch came on. I’ve had plenty of advertisements from StrapsCo show up on my feed on Instagram, and I’ve had my eyes on their straps for some time now. I decided to go with this strap, as I’m fairly familiar with FKM rubber straps, and figured this one specifically would suit my Seiko perfectly. It arrived fairly quickly, and my first impression of the strap is that it fits perfectly on the watch. It’s a nice comfortable fit, especially on my small 15.5 cm wrist. Despite my small wrist, I still have eyelets left over on the watch, so it’s not a tight fit. Additionally, this strap has quick release spring bars that make installation very easy, especially for those who don’t have the right tools. Only time will tell how durable the straps will be. I’ll definitely be buying more straps from StrapsCo for some of my other watches.

Okay, the texture on this strap is really intricate and I loved pairing it up with my MECEXP Titanium hybrid watch! I feel like the waffle pattern ties in perfect with the angular shape of my watch and I also like that the strap is 22mm wide, but tapers on the sides inward for a flared out look at the lugs. The inward pyramid vent holes on the underside of the strap help with sweat as well. There’s also a series of parallel and perpendicular waffle lines at the ends of the strap/buckle for even more textured nuance. Super fun strap and I may get more in the other colors for a bit more pop!

I was looking for a good quality rubber strap that was good looking, strong, and didn’t move on my wrist. This particular strap works wonderfully, I couldn’t be more happy. The quick release spring bars made them easy to install with no scratching of the case. I’ll definitely be buying more of these!

This is one of the first ventures into FKM rubber straps. Most of the watches I have owned that were an elastic material were some kind of silicone or lower quality rubber which attracts dust and grime and also has a feeling to it that reflects “sticky”. This FKM strap does not have a sticky feeling, nor does it attract dust and crud onto the band. I think FKM rubber may be the go-to from here on out.

This strap replaces a bracelet that came with a Seiko solar diver. It’s a great looking strap and very comfortable – at about 1/2 the price of the recommended Seiko rubber strap for this watch model. My suggestions for improvement would be to make the non-buckle strap piece 10mm shorter. The entire strap is 210mm while most standard length straps are 200mm. I have a 7.15″ wrist and find it a little long. I also would have liked more holes in the strap to fine tune the fit. As usual, my best fit is in-between two of the holes, so it ends up being a little snug or a little loose. I’d trade some of the clean look of the strap for more size adjustments.

This strap is simply great. I got it for my Seiko diver and it completely changed how it looks. Also it is upgraded classic waffle strap in FKM rubber. The rugged waffle pattern gives it a timeless appeal and the quick release spring bars make swapping bands so easy. Perfect in my book!

This is a really nice quality, strap that’s easy to install and looks great. My only very minor quibble is that it’s a bit to long for me but with the adjustable keeper, you can manage the slack easily and it doesn’t impact the look/feel. Recommended!

Quite easy to put on with the quick release spring bars. Excellent quality!
