Thread: What strap?

  1. #1

    What strap?

    So I got this Elektronika LED, that I put on a stainless mesh but while I think it looks a fairly good match. I don't love the way it feels. And after my 7th or 8th time trying various stainless bracelets, I think I have decided that stainless isn't for me. So I need suggestions on a strap. I was thinking grey canvas but I am open to suggestions. I was thinking grey because it matches most stuff and I bought this watch to wear in low light situations so I want a versatile strap.



    Edit: it is a 20mm strap.

    Mine didn't come with one. And I am betting your guess is right. While I like Russian watches their bracelets are not the reason I do.

    It's too bad it's not comfortable because looks wise, I think that rocks! How about a grey perlon?

    I was thinking light blue perlon, lovely contrast with the red

    I would send it to the Great Northwest and gift it to Sherry.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Grey of some kind would look great, as would basic black (in most lighting conditions, the red time screen on LED watches just looks black). I'd go with a plain, unpatterened strap, or one with simple stitching; straps with a pattern may clash with the grooving on the case. Just my $.02.

    Well I have a 18mm light grey perlon and 18mm basic black strap so I will throw those on just to get an idea.

    I like the mesh too, but if it doesn't appeal to you then it's you choice.

    But I just don't think a cloth or leather strap really captures the soul of that watch. It needs something......more techy. And practical - lets face it - the red numerals make for great in the dark legibility but you have to find the watch first because there's nothing glowing to help you find it on your nightstand or where ever.
    So, my recommendation:

    The glowing strap- white synthetic material always "modern" appearing, luminous straps will help you find the watch ot your arm in the darkest night or movir theater, and when you hit the button the red/green light show should be mesmerizing!
