Thread: Tell me about G-Shock strap options

  1. #1

    Tell me about G-Shock strap options

    I've found recently that I only wear my G-9100 Gulfman when strictly necessary (i.e. when involved in things where tide position is needed). I think it's down to the factory strap #10270946, which I find to be somewhat uncomfortable compared to, say, my trusty old DW-9051.



    As you can see, the Gulfman (top) has deeper, erm, "wobbly bits" near the watch head, and comes out of the lugs at a fierce angle of attack.

    So... what are the options? I've seen some great looking strap (and indeed bracelet) set-ups on G-Shocks here, but I know very little about them.

    School me, please

    Jays and Kays, either eBay or Amazon, adapters which allow either Nato/Zulu 1 piece and even 2 piece now with spring bars, very good and you can then add some of the best Natos sold by Eddie for a very comfortable fit.

    they really are good, currently using them on a GW-M5610, GW6900 and the Rangeman, the ability to now use a two piece Nato makes for a comfortable fit on any G for me now so will be interested to hear how you find them if you try a set.

    I use a combi bracelet on my GW 5600 bought it from UK based tiktox for about £50 well worth it as its very comfortable. Tried the NATO adapters and strap but they dug in on my 7.5" wrists looked very odd and were very uncomfortable.

    There's a few suppliers of the NATO adapters discussed here,

    this ... although i sourced my bracelet by buying a used 5610 BC and swapping then selling the other watch on. way cheaper.
