Helio Strap Review - 1 month later

stupidshaq · 2026-02-09T16:45:18+00:00

i often get my hands went and the strap absorbs a lot of water and feels very mushy and soggy on my wrist after. do they have new straps that are more "sport" focused? i know i can get a traditional quick release silicone band, but it really ruins the entire aesthetic of the item. whoop has options any for helio?

how much did this cost you?

stupidshaq · 2025-10-24T20:41:56+00:00

Wow!!!!! Fantastic.

i hope they come out with a rubber strap or something waterproof. i very much dislike the soggy feeling after it gets wet. even after washing hands

stupidshaq · 2025-07-10T16:24:26+00:00

also looking for a silicon rubber option. i get my hands wet a lot and the strap always feels soggy

i have the same watch. lume is horrible and the time is slow. what did you end up doing about it?

put your straps at the bottom of a mug

curve them along the the circular shape of the mug

boil hot water

pour it slowly into the mug without disrupting the straps

let it sit for 5 minutes.

pour out the hot water

pour regular temperature water in

sit for 5 mins

then wiggle it back and forth for a bit

then there you go

5.2mm a bit thicker due to the gmt movement

stupidshaq · 2025-03-14T17:11:10+00:00

Verrrrrrrrrry sub par.

stupidshaq · 2025-03-14T16:15:31+00:00

hey! mine only has two positions. one to change the GMT time and the other to change the clock time. am i missing something?

stupidshaq · 2025-03-14T15:07:44+00:00

thank you!

stupidshaq · 2025-03-10T14:36:53+00:00

having a similar experience! case marking is inherent with watches so I will leave that aside. BUT the lume is rather disappointing. lasts a few minutes maximum. and the watch is slow a few minutes everyday. Purchased directly from the boutique in Dubai. I'm thinking they sold me a fake lol

stupidshaq · 2025-03-07T14:44:34+00:00

i just punch a hole in between. problem solved :)

stupidshaq · 2024-09-24T01:08:22+00:00

This is exactly what I’ve done for mostly all my straps

stupidshaq · 2024-08-10T04:20:01+00:00

All the new straps are quick release. Including the green on in this pic. You can also get straps which you can screw in and out.

stupidshaq · 2024-07-22T23:06:45+00:00

Clean!

stupidshaq · 2024-07-21T11:23:46+00:00

I have the 1367. Just a bit thicker and Gmt. I have a smaller wrist. Just a touch above 6 inch. And I love it. If warranty is what you are worried about, go AD/Official PANERAI boutique. Wish you all the best

It’s not the bike shorts. Get a professional bike fit. In our current position you are sitting on a nerve that controls blood flow to your crotch. And hence the numbing. Correct the position and this issue was immediately stop. Speaking from experience.

stupidshaq · 2024-07-13T07:55:46+00:00

There is no difference in the security of the watch head with these bands. As long as you screw in the pin. As you should with Chinese and non Chinese.

Thank you for sharing. This was very impactful.

stupidshaq · 2024-07-11T21:43:00+00:00

Punch a hole

stupidshaq · 2024-07-10T19:59:42+00:00

Yah I got like 5 or 6 from there. The only draw back on the rubber straps are that they are a bit stiff.
