Textured Silicone Quick-Release Watch Strap, 20mm & 22mm

Looks like a padded leather band from a foot away. Rinses clean in the sink like the silicone it actually is, and swaps onto your watch in about ten seconds without a tool.

Why It Stands Out

• Deep embossed crocodile grain, not the shiny flat print most leather-look silicone settles for
• Padded and tapered, so it has the shape of a real leather strap instead of a flat sport band
• Quick-release spring bars on both ends — no spring bar tool, no scratched lugs
• Wide flat polished stainless pin buckle with a matching silicone keeper
• Rinse it, sweat in it, swim in it. Silicone does not stain, stretch or hold smell

Fit and Wear

The padding gives it a bit of height on the wrist, so it wears closer to a leather strap than a thin sport band — good under a cuff, and it does not flatten out or crease over the day. Pick the width that matches your watch's lug opening: 20mm and 22mm are the two most common sizes on 38mm to 44mm watches. Silicone does not stretch, so the hole you settle on stays the hole you use.

Colin's Take

I wanted the look of a padded croc leather strap without babysitting it. Real leather stains, stretches, and starts to smell the first time you sweat in it properly. This gets you most of the way there for twenty five bucks, and when it gets dirty you rinse it and put it straight back on. If you own one watch and want it to look different on a Tuesday than it did on Saturday, this is the cheapest way to do it.
