I've recently taken delivery of an Astro Stellar on a white velcro strap. This is my fifth Marloe. Having been intrigued by the Astro since launch, I've been undecided on the dial and strap colour options. With the sale price now being offered on these pieces, I've finally pulled the trigger on a purchase. The watch certainly doesn't dominate the wrist size wise, the proportions a little smaller than I expected - which I appreciate. The white strap compliments the white ring of the blue dial and is quite striking. My only observation is that had a white silicon strap been available, then this would have been my choice over the velcro. Obviously this can be changed at a later date. Compliments to Marloe on the design and execution of the Astro. It is different and certainly gets noticed.
