    NEED TO CHOOSE A STRAP FOR MY HALIOS PUCK - IDEAS?

    HI GUYS, appreciate your 2c on this. trying to choose a strap for the halios puck that is shaped somewhat like a tuna in a perfectly cylindrical case. I'm keen on a brown strap and considering the following 3 options. really like no.2 but not sure how a fully round case will look (might even be too big?). pics of the puck here. right now it's on the default black Italian rubber strap: https://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=...Eoq3rAe954TpBg

    Interested in the replies as I haven't found a leather strap that works for me on the Puck yet. Isofrane worked pretty well. Bradystrap sailcloth I was in between holes and the watch didn't sit well. Ted Su dive strap and buckle has been on the longest and works pretty well. I have a GasGasBones coming and that's my next hope.

    Just search my past posts. You will see lots of different strap options. For me the best was the Zulu’s and Nato’s along with the bracelet. I am not sure why but, for me the worst option I had it one was the Isofrane. The buckle dug into the backside of my wrist. My wrist is 7 ¼ and I just can’t where the strap anymore on the Puck. I am wondering if the cause is the Hooded Lugs because all I have ever heard was positive things about the strap.
    Thanks Nick

    I don't know why this is but EVERY leather or rubber strap I have ever tried(IsoFrane-Kain Heritage etc...)never truly conform to the shape of my wrist the way a good Nato or bracelet do & always seem to want to pull the watch around to the left side of my wrist.I would think the Puck would look great on a Heavy Shark Mesh bracelet.

    This watch simply doesn't sit flat on my wrist on anything but a bracelet or Zulu.

    Interesting replies. I thought it was just me. I don't usually have any prob wearing larger watches as my wrist is fairly flat but the Puck wants to roll to the outside on many straps for me. Still no GGB today but I may try the bracelet which I have yet to size.

    While I don't actually like how the stock bracelet looks on the watch, it's really quite good and comfortable. I'd recommend giving it a shot.

    Gonna try the Armida A1 bracelet...arrives tomorrow, but I do like the shark mesh. The stock bracelet is nice and comfortable but the taper bothered me some...tho I got used to it eventually the longer I wore it.

    Leather works with the Puck...like that third strap.

    I love the ISOfrane right now but I do have a Gasgasbones BRV1 coming to mix it up a bit...
