The Benchmark - I've had a lot of tropic straps....and this is my favorite so far. Much softer than an Uncle Seiko....or various fare from Ebay. I never thought I'd be bothered about quick release....I was wrong. On this it works great. The I have Navy, Grey and Black versions of these. The Blue is stunning. I'd love to see a variant with quick release spring bar ends to fit bigger Seiko lug holes. That's my one build. Buy with confidence.

Great alternatives to OEM straps - Comfortable and soft on the wrist but also rigid enough to support a heavy watch case. Comes with a nicely finished chunky buckle. Length of the strap is on the longer side, so one part of the strap may almost fully overlap the other part, on wrists around 6.5 inches. Perforated design reduces sweating as well as improving the strap's aesthetics - which is a bonus. Quick release pins are useful however not suitable for all lug types, especially when there is limited space between lugs and case (due to strap thickness). On the positive, it is relatively easy to remove and replace the supplied quick release pins with standard or curved ones. Overall, these are fantastic quality products, and can be good alternatives to manufacturers' original straps which are (generally) many times more expensive.

Good quality strap - Manufacturing and materials are high quality. The shade of blue is just right. Very comfortable to wear and I have no issues with length. But I found the strap holes far to wide for the supplied skinny quick change spring bars. My Citizen diver also has 1.2mm lug holes, so I removed quick released bars and replaced with 2.5mm FAT spring bars with 1.2mm tips and this strap is now an excellent fit.

Fantastic strap! - Really excellent quality product! The colour and texture of the strap are brilliant and help breathe life into a an older watch. Strap feel thick and substantial while also being very comfortable to wear. Only minor criticism is that it is long, as pointed out in other reviews. A short version would be ideal but I would certainly recommend it regardless.

Quality, great value strap. Highly recommended - Bought these on sale but wish i'd discovered them earlier! One of my best buys from Watchgecko.... fantastic to add a sporty yet stylish look to a watch. Comfortable to wear and adds a nice bit of colour. Much prefer having one of these to a Nato which feels less secure and durable. Will definitely be looking to buy a few more of these. Highly recommended if you like a rubber strap. Only minor criticism is they are slightly long for me on a 6.75 inch wrist. But it still wears fine. Really impressed having put this on my Tudor Black Bay.
