Review on πŸ’ͺ Ultimate Durability: Speidel Nylon Waterproof GShock DW5600E β€” Unmatched Performance in Any Condition by Gervan Mauldin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great item for watch straps

UPDATE: I forgot to mention an important point. This Speidel bracelet comes with new spring pins in the box. The bracelet has to be attached to the clock and is easy to detach when you are not fully busy and one or both pins (springs) are flying around the room! Also, in my experience, the Speidel pins were much more resilient than the original G-Shock pins from a few years ago. Much quicker and easier to install whereas the original pins springs were very stiff and difficult to remove/install. I've had this red streak for a few weeks now. Bought to replace a pair of G-Shock when needed. Actually tried this on a DW5600E and it worked and looked perfect. Then I tried it on a 15+ year old G-Shock Surfer DWX100. Unbelievable. The black part matched the black and silver case perfectly, while the red part matched the red "G" logo on the case as if the strap was original equipment. Surfer shock took on a new lease of life, returning to EDC status within days. As for the strap: the entire back is leather (can't see exactly in the photos but it is), plus the first 1 inch + the ends that attach to the case are leather covered. All this provides comfort. and hope for longevity Red webbing a beautiful shade of red, high quality material, feels comfortable (but really just skin touches your wrist. Holes, but 10 on the speidel is more than enough.) Note: The original 5600E strap has a built in Wrist crook, the speidel isn't curved at all (aligns and somewhat taut) A solution that works great: Buckle the bracelet (attached to the case or not) and place it on top of a drinking glass or other wrist-sized item you also regularly work with the strap to take some of the stiffness out (as you might with a leather strap). : This trail is REALLY GOOD and so much so that the tired old Surfer and newer 5600E are swapping EDC status again. The price speaks for itself!
