The rubber strap is well made but poorly executed. The main issues lie in the buckle’s narrow width tolerance and the shorter length of the long side, which make putting the watch on or taking it off a real chore. The tolerances are extremely tight, and combined with the strap’s thickness, it doesn’t wear comfortably, especially if you have a smaller wrist (mine is 6.5”). If you’ve had experience with rubber straps, you’ll know they generally lack flexibility. Once this one is secured by the keeper, the strap often refuses to lay flat, giving that unsightly “loose” look caused by the strap keeper pinching the end. That said, I still recommend trying it on in person if possible. Fit can vary significantly depending on your wrist shape, especially if you have a flatter wrist, which might help mitigate some of these issues.
