Hi All,

I am on the verge of buying a Fifty Fathoms and just wondered how robust the standard OEM strap is. I'd like to wear the watch swimming, running, etc but not if it's going to wreck the strap in a month or two. What is the consensus on how long the strap lasts (and stays looking in decent condition) if subjected to the kind of action M. Maloubier intended?

Thanks in advance.

Well the strap on the latest FF's is made out of sails clothe and mine is several years old now, but I do ont wear it every day.

I have a friend that has one as a daily wearer and he had to change it after a little more than 2 years.

Best regards,

George

Thanks George. That seems about right - if I get 1-2 years of daily wear before it needs replaced I'll be happy.

G'day David I own a FF. I dive/swim  and play sports all the time. The canvas strap is great; I always wash it with hot water to prevent it from stinking up. I also recommend purchasing the rubber strap. It is a bit pricy, but it looks great 

on the wrist ...



... on the back it could look like this ...



There is still room for improvements

At least based on your picture.
