What is your go-to strap to wear your diver on?

I've recently downsized my collection and have found watch straps as a great way to keep myself from buying new watches. What is your favorite strap for a diver?

For almost all my sport watches the first option is Artem Sailcloth. The second option is NATO. The third option is the bracelet. Sometimes I do leather if I'm dressing it up, but that's rarer.

I'm a MN fan myself, I can't stand bracelets.

I like to put all my divers on leather straps - my favorites being saffiano and shell cordovan.

FKM rubber is excellent comfort wise and dirt cheap.

Also I really like whatever my gbd200 is. It's less soft than rubber but softer than most G shocks. Very nice when worn loose. And the way it connects to the watch makes it great when worn super loose for airflow in the summer.

Nato is great but not ideal for water as it takes longer to dry and I don't like a soggy wrist. 

I avoid leather as it's often mislabeled cats and dogs from China.

For metal, these expanding bracelets are fantastic for comfort. Just size it so it's not tight.

All Three, except I like to use 2 piece nato's as I don't like the additional hight. Unless it's a Bund strap they are just sooo comfy!

I'll put anything that looks and feels good on my wrist. But my go to will be NATO or canvas

Rubber lined sailcloth.

A lot of the time my blue Duro lives on a navy blue 'gator:

I have a black FKM rubber for when I know I'll be getting it wet. Quick release springbars for the win. Got a sharkmesh as well which I have to get around to cutting down to size.

I'm still considering a stingray to stick with the aquatic theme:

I prefer on rubber.

Four of my divers are on rubber.  My Oris, which is currently on bracelet, will be on rubber in the summer.

My Phoibos lives on the bracelet cause it's a very comfy bracelet.  I haven't found a good rubber strap for my salmon colored Nodus, so it stays on bracelet for now.  I don't wear it enough to invest in another strap anyway.
