    The duro is just such insane value. Add sapphire, ceramic and now a bracelet and you have a custom monster. Mine has travelled around the world, gone diving and recently in hot springs in New Zealand and still looks and runs like new. Thx Marc for taking our money with a smile

    Awesome Mark, great idea. I have five (that’s 5) Duro’s lol, the only one i’m missing is the black with gold accent. Love these things, they’re indestructible and replaceable, and they just have this unmistakable look to them. When you catch another Duro lover in the wild, it’s almost like you both know this little secret that you can have an unbelievable watch for $60 and you’re forever joined by your affinity for common sense 😂

    Some people just love customising their cheap watches. It isn't financially prudent, but people enjoy doing it. I have a Casio AE1200 that has been pulled apart, stuck in a bronze case with sapphire, and a decent brown leather strap. Cost around £200 to do up, but I get more enjoyment from that than I do from some more expensive watches.
    Definitely getting the five-link bracelet once my pay goes in! Keep up the good work! 👍

    I seriously have always looked at my Islander bracelet and thought it'd be awesome on a Duro, because the only thing I don't like about the Duro is the factory strap. So I'm in for one.
    Honestly the Duro + this for about $110-$115 is about as good of a quartz diver as you're going to find. It makes so much sense because all the value of the Duro is not in its strap lol

    The Duro is an amazing watch. I’m keeping mine forever. Can’t wait to add a bracelet, and eventually a sapphire crystal. It’ll be a favorite in my collection no matter how extravagant my collection gets. Love the bracelet, it’s one of my favorite watches for daily wear, feels like a nice $200-$500 Citizen or Seiko dive watch now.

    I just got a Jubilee for my Casio (Batman) and it really is worth every penny and then some. This bracelet takes the Duro to a whole new level and I'm going to load up on these for my other MDV106's. I'd bought the cheaper Aliexpress bracelet for this one before and stopped there because while they looked like what I wanted the end links were junk and they just felt cheap. That is not the case here. This bracelet is pure quality. Thanks for going to the effort of doing this right!

    When I had this watch for a while I was floored with the accuracy. So I got mine (gold bezel) a black stainless steel curved-end bracelet band. Love it. (But then I favor a bracelet with no end-flap to catch on things). This is my kayaking/fishing/sailing/snorkeling (rare anymore) wet work watch. If the mineral crown gets bad wear I would indeed seek out a sapphire crystal. It's worth it. My everyday watch is a Hamilton Khakii King II bracelet. This Casio smokes it with 4X the accuracy. And my Hamilton holds +6 seconds a Month! So that alone endears it to my heart.

    I really like the bracelets. I almost got a Casio Duro for an everyday diver beater but went with an Invicta Pro Diver for the smaller case size. I don't suppose this would also fit on one of them? I'm guessing with the close tolerance the case size would throw it off. Maybe I'll still get a Duro (and a bracelet). One automatic and one quartz. My Pro Diver is pretty accurate. I set to my PC over a week ago and it's only about 40 seconds fast. The Invicta name doesn't bother me. In a way it's a plus.

It’s just that I have gotten spoiled by some of the other watches on the market like some of my Islanders. I think that this band really does it justice. Maybe we will see some interesting bezel options in the future from islander.
