Swatch collabs + fitted rubber straps = 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Both watches come with IMHO pretty terrible to wear and appearance factory straps (velcro and pseudo NATO) that are meant to be vintage throwbacks but neither are my cup of tea. Replacing them both with fitted bespoke rubber straps massively improve their looks and wear on the wrist, especially with the Swatchpain Fifty Fathoms which is already a bulky watch for more skinny wrists 👍🏽

I found a cheap one on Amazon I’ve been impressed with. I don’t wear it enough to justify the cost of the more expensive ones but I agree they look great. The original moonswatch straps are garbage.
I have both of these and absolutely love those straps. I need to so a strap change on mine.

Nice. Same boat. What is the link to those straps on Amazon?

I just went through my purchase history hoping to find the link but it’s not there. It looks like the shop name may be SINAIKE on Amazon. They’re $17. That sure looks like them but I’m not certain.
Just got the fifty fathoms Antarctica. Gonna order this strap now! Thx
They do look better with the strap change.
