  • When Ted from Montreux contacted me to have a look at his FKM straps, I told him I was not interested.
    Looking at his website they just looked like overpriced generic straps.
    However, after wearing them for a week, they turned out to be so much more...

    Also apart from the straps being sent out to the channel, no money exchanged hands in any way
    Thanks for watching..

    I'm shocked by the magnetised nature of ALL replacement straps. Mind blown. Another excellent, informative video Pete.

    Hi, Pete. Thanks for your review. There is no mention on the website or in this video of the strap dimensions. They are 125mm/75mm and only come in 20mm widths at the moment.

    These look great. And the price isn't that high. The issue seems to be that the ali express and amazon straps are still great for half the price or even less. And for people swapping straps we buy a lot. And $72 adds up when buying multiples. But would love to own one one day if i could find just one watch where i wanted just a perfect strap.

    I purchased a couple of these straps and agree with Pete that they aren’t great for bigger & heavier watches. If they were a tad thicker, they would be amazing because the FKM they use is softer and more comfortable than the generic stuff out there. They also only sell them in 20mm. Interested to see if they’ll offer a 22mm.
