I finally was able to find a curved rubber strap with a buckle that fits my Aquaracer 300 Professional perfect. I prefer rubber to steel bracelets and this one fits perfect.

Sorry for the lint on the strap, I was handling towels.

How about some more information about brand, model and link to where you bought it in case others want to find something similar 👍

Beware though… According to the product description, these are silicone, not rubber (and no - I’m not being pedantic).

OK, thanks. But I am new to all this, could you please let me know why Silicone is bad VS rubber.
Thanks I appreciate your input, I really do not know.

I wouldn’t say silicone is necessarily “bad”, but it’s definitely the less “noble“ material for straps…

I’d say the three most evident differences in favor of (FKM or natural) rubber are:
- the “touch” on the skin (hard to describe),
- how it ages (especially under UV),
- that it doesn’t attract lint.
