    Moon swatch strap options?

    My wife managed to pick me up the black and white snoopy moonphase watches today in Covent Garden. Apparently thy had a fair few models in stock.

    What straps are people using for theirs?

    I have used this company for others straps in the past and rated them so going to give these a pop.

    The new swatch moon straps are very good and at a reasonable cost.

    Awesome snag on that Snoopy Moonphase. I’ve gone with a simple black leather strap—keeps it looking sharp. If you want something more laid‑back, a navy NATO strap works great, or grab a red silicone one for a bit of fun.

    Ah ok? They changed from the original ones? Never bought one of the earlier ones.

    Sounds good. I’ll see how the straps it comes on and the haveston ones do.

    As far as I’m aware, the straps they come on are still the same (pony!) only with quick release bars, which is helpful to get them straight off! Perhaps paw3001 was referring to the new rubber straps they sell online for them?
    I’ve tried my 1965 on a grey nato (Bark and Jack) and the ubiquitous Erikas Original. Both look good (IMO)

    I have the white snoopy. Bought a few cheap white silicon straps to try on Amazon. They all turn blue when I rest my hands on my jeans.

    The new official rubber straps look nice though.

    Didn’t realise they offered alternatives. Just had a look. They should be on the watch as standard.

    Zuludiver Octopod with stretch strap. Very comfortable and easy to use.

    Depending on your budget but I have all mine on artem straps! The Neptune and artem blue strap works perfectly and have had lots of people comment on it asking where i got it from, even in the store the staff asked

    Yes that what I was talking about. The new £38 rubber straps. Very comfortable and match perfectly. I must be one of the only people who quite like the Velcro straps that they come on but would have liked it if they have come on these newer straps.

    The new straps look much better.
    I have had mine on rubber, leather and NATO but I prefer this elastic one from Cheapnatostraps.

    The new straps are much better, but are only available online ( whilst the watches are retail only, someone at Swatch is really messed up) !

    I'm tight so if I was to buy only one Bioceramic MoonSwatch strap for these two should I buy the grey or black? I'm more swayed towards the black.

    Black every time for me. Would rather match the bezel colour on both watches than the strap blend in with the case cover, if that makes sense.

    Good to know you can get the link ones - my wife will definitely get her strap filthy over time.
