Zuludiver Octopod, Anyone?

[Doofus]

Anyone tried or got these?

I think they seem really cool (I find NATOs too bulky), but welcome the opinions of others.

Are they basically single pass with a deployant?

I'd be interested in hearing from owners as well - Enjoying my NATOs at the moment.

Essentially, yes. The idea is you buy one clasp and many straps.

Very frustrating, as they don't actually show you any decent photos of what the strap looks like on a wrist.

I notice they have recently altered the size of the buckle , making it 10% smaller. I had heard it was rather chunky so that's will be a definite improvement for many.

Very tempted by the sandblasted buckle and a couple of the more colourful Hydrarib straps to pair with my Alpina diver for the summer.

Strap is elasticated, and pretty comfortable.

Clasp is easy enough to install, but not so easy to make fine adjustments. It is infinitely adjustable though.

Overall, I'm happy enough for £58.

Good to get feedback - will have a think!!

I have one and find it very comfortable - and I'm not usually a fan of deployants. This is the 22mm in black, but I'm now tempted by a 20mm sandblasted one.

I'm not generally a fan of NATOs, but I like this.

I have a Tudor Pelagos on the way, and I might get another strap (and a steel clasp) for that.

They do deals on packs of 5 straps (and the straps themselves are cheap), but I can't see me wanting that many fabric straps.

I went for it mainly for the brown strap which was the only brown fabric strap I could find that was the right shade.

Now looking at the 20mm steel I will probably just go for black and maybe grey - or Granite and Gulf as they call them.
