What's the standard strap vs short strap diff?

[eal15]

I'm looking for anyone who was had a ROO standard strap and then swap to short strap, to tell me the different in fit? I've got a diver and wear it on the fourth hole from the end. The fifth hole is too tight. I'd like the fourth hole to fit a little tighter. Now, recently another member purchased the new deployant and says with the folding mechanism, the strap fits a little tighter. However, I expressed my desire to Clearwater and they tell me they should fit the same. It seem like it would fit a bit tighter but the experts disagree and since they won't take it back I need to be sure first. So now, I'd like to know if the short strap changes the fit. Of the two straps the long side is the same but the short side is different. I would say I have regular sized wrists, I'm only looking to change the way the watch fits. HAs anyone else encountered this? What did you do to fix you situation? What do you think I could do to fix mine? In my attachments you can see the gap. If I use one hole tighter it's way too tight. And the strap length seems okay, hopefully a short strap won't be too short?

strap sizes
Standard - 118.1/71.6
Short - 118.1/56.6
Long - 138.1/71.6

Thanks

...but I had a 44mm ROO and had to order a short strap for it. The difference there is 10mm shorter on the 12 o'clock side (105mm vs 115mm) and 10mm shorter on the 6 o'clock side (65mm vs 75mm.) These will be the same measurements for the diver strap as well. On the old style deployment clasps, the short strap is only shorter (15mm) on the 12 o'clock side.

Hope the info helps!

Not exactly the same case but I'll share my experience. I have a 44 ROO that comes with a standard strap and the boutique where I bought the watch gave me a XS strap as well. My wrist is 6.75". The Std strap is loose even at the last hole. Meantime, the XS strap has the same problem, one hole more too loose, one hole less too tight. In the end, I have to use the combination of XS strap for the buckle side and the std strap for the other. It works out perfectly. You may want to try this.

For a 44mm, holes are positioned differently on the standard vs the short strap, hence trying different combinations can probably give you a perfect fit if the 42mm straps are similar.
