I'm looking to buy a a ROO safari and I have quite a small wrist...

just want to see how it looks on others (I have obviously tried it on myself as well but yer..)

Also of those Safari users, does anyone have a pic on Safari on a Rubber strap?

lets get the thread going!

Looking good.

I have a quite small wrist as well..the watch wears OK but i think the deployant is the biggest problem..that together with a stiff hornback is no good combo. Looks very cool on rubber though! Might give it a try :)

I have a 6.5 in wrist. It is flat so I am able to wear a larger watch fairly comfortably. I have owned the Safari for about a year and a half and I love it. My wife keeps threatening to steal it too.

Anyways, earlier this year, I switched to the OEM Rubber strap. I moved my deployment buckle to the rubber strap and wore it like that. Recently, the deployment buckle broke! I was taking the watch off and the buckle broke right at the base of the AP. I've been meaning to post a pic of this. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Sorry for the thread jack. Anyways, I switched over to an AP Bands Tang Buckle and I have to say, I find it much more comfortable. If and when I go to replace my Deployment buckle, I think I will try to get my hands on a short version.

Anyways, here are my pics.

Here's one on the Brown Hornback:

Where did you get the blue rubber strap? That would look good on my Navy for the warmer months.

Coolcamden · 14 August 2013, 11:31 AM

Safari users? As in the Apple browser?

Yeah, I use it on my iPad.

Claymie · 14 August 2013, 11:35 AM

Got the blue strap @ AP Straps. Great fit and it's comfortable.

bayerische · 14 August 2013, 06:15 PM

The safari is one of my favorite ROO.

steveclocks · 14 August 2013, 07:02 PM

Marvellous photographs Claymie, that Safari looks really good on your wrist mate!

Claymie · 14 August 2013, 09:44 PM

Thanks, I picked it up on an impulse thinking I'd flip it quickly, but decided to hang on to her for a while. I needed a sporty watch and the ROO fits the bill.

pretty sure you mean AP bands.

Ya sorry...AP Bands

I've tried different straps and came to the conclusion that the original hornback looks the best and gives it a classy feel. The name "Safari" suits this watch perfectly.
