cheaper, but just as good.

Just received this tropic style strap from watch gecko which was ~$60, instead of ~$80 for the original TROPIC straps (which I also own). Honestly, th...

Sometimes aftermarket is better.

I just could not deal with the stock Velcro strap that came with the FXD, no matter how hard I tried. I prefer this ribbed nato from WatchGecko 1000%

I agree and the only good thing about them being so underrated is that you can now pick them up at steep discounts.

Taxes in, $428 for a brand new watch. From a site called “Shop Premium Outlets”. Unfortunately they are no longer running the promotion I took advantage of!

Nice pairing with the color of that suede strap!

I had the same concern as you, given my wrists are only 6 and a 1/4. I’ve been honestly shocked at how this watch just wears so much slimmer than it’s thickness would lead you to believe - even with the extra bit of material from this strap.

I was a little worried about the thickness when ordered the watch, but as soon as I put it on it was clear it wore really well. Even on my 6 and a quarter inch wrist.

I now see the light!

I was never a fan of rubber straps, as I have generally found every OEM rubber strap that’s come with a watch I’ve bought to be uncomfortable. But dec...

Unexpected, but it works!

I really wasn’t sure about this nato in what would call “rust” color, but I’m digging it!

FXD on Braided Strap

Wasn’t sure is this was going to work, but I think so! It’s also fairly thin, which helps keep the thickness of the watch in check.

Rubber NATO perfection

This rubber nato strap complements the military vibes of this Sinn so well. Also smells fantastic
