Re: Rubber Straps
The C60 is the first rubber strap I have had so I can't compare to any others until the C600 arrives. I do find the the C60 strap to be very comfortable though.

Finally, a sensible post on this thread.Kip wrote:The C60 is the first rubber strap I have had so I can't compare to any others until the C600 arrives. I do find the the C60 strap to be very comfortable though.
How does the C60 strap compare with a metal or leather strap on a similar watch?

Re: Rubber Straps
I had similar problem before buying my C6. At the end I went for rubber strap and I am very pleased with it. It looks great with white face C6 I own its very comfortable and it makes the watch virtually maintanance free.

Re: Rubber Straps
The only issue I have ever had with rubber is that it can get a bit sweaty in the heat but otherwise it is sporty, comfortable and easy to maintain.
Plus it is stain resistant...

Re: Rubber Straps
Thanks for all the advice. I decided to go for it, and ordered a C60 SOSI, complete with 'forum limited edition' case back!

Re: Rubber Straps
Excellent choice, hope you like it.
As I said earlier it looks stunning in the flesh but the colour just didn't suit me when worn.
Look forward to your piccies

Re: Rubber Straps
Good choice! I love mine - have had a few people comment positively on it as well.
The silicon is much better for me as SS bracelet watches I've had tend to get messed up when I'm typing (scratches etc).

Re: Rubber Straps
recived my C60 with sillicon strap yesterday and couldn't be happier with it but I've yet to make up my mind about the strap. Although it does suit the watch I find the clasp quite uncomfortable and wonder if a buckle wouldn't have been better.

Re: Rubber Straps
I hope that the C600 strap will soon become available to buy separatly. It looks a bit more comfortable with the buckle.

Sorry to hear you are not finding the C60 strap comfortable. What is the issue with it (if you don't mind me asking)?bigvic wrote:I hope that the C600 strap will soon become available to buy separatly. It looks a bit more comfortable with the buckle.
If you wanted another rubber strap with a buckle, you could take a look here. These guys offer a good service and a wide choice...Link

Re: Rubber Straps
Thanks downer, the problem I've found is the inside hinge of the clasp digs into my wrist so I've swapped the clasp over from left to right (if that make sense) and its slightly more comfortable.
I've been trying to log onto the timefactors website but it seems to have been down all weekend, so I clicked on your link and wonder if this would complement the orange C60? http://www.watch-band-center.com/watchs ... -muli.html

I think it's a bit 'in yer face' for me...
I also noticed the 'other place' (is that the correct etiquette?) has been down all weekend..
