Review on Revolutionary Smooth Silicone Stitched Release Stitching: Enhanced Durability and Effortless Stitches! by Patrick Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality and style - great value!

I was looking for a strap that I could replace with a silver mesh strap for my East Amphibian. Thought I'd give it a try as it looks like leather, but the silicone was attractive because of the water resistance. The quality here is very good! The quick release spring bars feel solid and fit perfectly. I've seen a few comments about the strap feeling "funny" like it's covered in something, but it's silicone! I assumed it would feel rubbery or something. It doesn't bother me at all. Very comfortable to wear and I love that the buckle is matte so it can be paired with a polished or matte finish on the watch. The retainers (both) stay in place and don't slide on the strap like some other straps I've tried. My wrist is about 7 1/4" and the buckle is right in the middle of my wrist on the bottom. I would prefer to make the buckle strap about 5mm longer and the longer side of the strap 5mm shorter so that the buckle only on the side. When my wrist is close to my laptop it reduces scratches. but it's just a little picky. Overall I definitely recommend it if you want a leather strap with the benefits of silicone.

Pros
  • High test scores for fit and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
