hey guys, so I've been buying lots of straps to match with my watches over the years.

I'm wondering where do you guys get yours straps from? do you prefer leather / nylon /cloth / nato / steel bracelet band?

lets share our watch strap collection and inspire others.

in the past I've bought straps from these below brands:
1. strapcode
2. barton watch bands
3. nomadwatchworks
4. fossil
5. iStrap
6. various lazada / shopee merchants etc.

below is my current watch and straps collection:

I only bought a Hadley Roma brown alligator leather strap (20mm lug size) from Ebay for my cheap Seiko 5 automatic watch. So far so good.

band width fitment is the most important thing for band replacement. in your case this timepiece is 22 mm

next is the length. usual strap length is 75mm + 125mm total about 20cm without buckle

if smaller wrist size then you can find for shorter length strap

problem about the stock seiko diver silicone strap is that it is too long for smaller wrist size

otherwise quite comfortable to wear

I also ordered quite a lot of straps from overseas. problem is not many big time sellers selling high quality affordable below rm100 straps in our country

usually lazada / shopee a lot of rm20-30ish generic no brand straps
