    Re: Isofrane...just got it and love it

    I would like to try one (orange) but really would like to try it on before buying it. $100+ bucks is a lot to try something then not like it. arutlosjr11 what's ur wrist size? My biggest fear is that with my 7 1/4" wirst that i will be "between holes" where the strap will be either too loose or too tight which is what I have with my armida-frane A1 rubber strap.

    Without a doubt my favorite strap for any watch outside of a dress watch. Granted, they may not work for everyone, but for many its THEE strap. Super comfortable, endlessly size adjustable, and looks at home on just about every diver out there!

    I have the same problem with most straps (especially the Armidas) but when I got my Iso a few weeks ago, I found that the holes are much closer together and the fit is perfect.

    Ummm. No insult taken. I'm just simply saying that ISOfrane can't possibly make 100% of the people happy but for most of us, it's the strap to have.

    You can never be between holes on the Isofrane. The holes are so close together it is nearly infinitely adjustable.

    I agree. I have seen people tout the stickiness as a plus though... the fact that it doesn't need to be tight in order to hold the watch completely stationary.

    For me, I like to be able to move the watch around a little, so it's not an everyday wearer for me. That and the fact it's a pain to get the tail into the keepers.

    Obviously why we have choices, I had the same experience with the Isofrane but I don't really care for any rubber straps all that much so I sold it {20mm} still want to try a 24mm on one of my other watches one of these days.

    No secret. Sounds like you never really gave it a fair shake. Wear one diving as its intended for, or on a daily basis say down south in the Gulf Coast area of the US (or any other sub tropical regions around the world) where they get 100 degree temps with 100% humidity, and you 'll see how comfortable it is in those brutal conditions.
