What’s up guys. I would like to upgrade to a softer more comfortable dive strap. I like the look of the original resin one that the gen1 comes with. Is there a Seiko dive strap I could swap out for or perhaps something made by someone else? Ideally I would like a soft strap that looks like the original, perhaps a little wider. Any suggestions?

I think strapcode makes a nice bracelet for the monster

The new Turtles have a very nice rubber strap that is much more supple than the old ones, problem is they’re 22mm. I bet you could probably squeeze it into the 20mm lugs of the Monster, or trim a bit if you have to.

I’ve been looking at their stuff, but this watch, I prefer on a diver strap.

Bonetto Cinturini has the exact strap you're looking for, made of real rubber. High quality, good price, and not a lint magnet like silicone.

This is a really long strap though. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and it is to long for me.

Check out Uncle Seiko, they just came out with a remake of the Seiko Flat Vent rubber strap. One of the best straps in the business.

Shameless shill also, we at ToxicNATOs have some options for it also.

Good luck.

I have to wear my Orange Monster more often. Great picture, thanks for the reminder.

Good luck.

If you have 8” wrists they’re great. Not easy to find straps to fit
