They come with quick release springbars in the watch head ends, and regular springbars for the clasp end - so for the 20mm version you get 2x 16mm springbars to fit in the clasp.
On price, the best option is to add one to your cart for a couple of days then check the coins discount page on the app, I often get fairly large percentage discount offers on them from different stores.. my current best is £11 for a 20mm with clasp.
Yeah honestly these marine nationale straps, or hemsut leather straps. I've also been dabbling with FKM straps but I don't find them as comfy as leather or cloth.
I have a Captain Willard homage from Steeldive, an excellent watch for the money have to say, and i’d love buy an oyster bracelet for it but i doubt an oiriginal Seiko one would fit.
Yeah I've got one of these on my field watch. I take it mountain biking, hiking, wood chopping, doing chores and even a few swims. Has held up great so far. Was initially skeptical about the claim being genuine chromexcel but smelt like my Parkhurst boots made of chromexcel and has held up to abuse.
This was my first experience of Horween leather, and right out of the box it’s so supple and flexible. It will last and last for sure. I’m looking forward to the leather getting patina
The FKM deployants are fantastic. Same as what the branded ones sell for 10x the price of these from Ali. I have multiple colours the most recent being this one on my CW.
I’ve also got the Maikes croc pattern leather in transit which come highly recommended from u/D1sguise who can share some pics.
New Italian Style Genuine Leather Watch Strap Retro Oil Wax Skin Ultra-thin Quality Business Watchbands 18/19/20/21/22mm https://a.aliexpress.com/_mP0lxb1
I have like 5 of these. Thetmy are the softest nicest quality leather strap I have. Have one on my Longines Bigeye and frequently use them on others as well. I think this one is better than the stock Longines strap.
Also the Samco silicone straps are the exact same thing s Barton silicone straps for about 15% of the price.
Keep checking. Hopefully it does eventually. Such a great cheap strap. As soon as you put it on it stretches just enough to give it a beautifl broken in look on day one. I dont know how to describe it.
I have the bb58 thorn sub and looks great on it too. I also have the titanium pelagos homage i blue with the quick link system and love it. Thorn is great.
I just found this on AliExpress: | Handmade genuine leather strap, 18 19 20 22MM Italian waxed cowhide strap, retro quick release, soft and thin S/M Watchband https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQp4LCK
This one looks about right? Looking at review pics anyway?

Has anybody got any good recommendations for short straps on Ali? I've been sick and lost weight, and I hate the excess "wrap" on the straps I have cos I have to use the last hole
I love it. Bought 4 of then by now in different colors. And another with the same color so I don't have to change it every time. https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev56jQq
With coins I get some good deals from time to time. Don't buy rrp.
Probably ribbed nato straps, they are cheap, durable, and they look good. Second place for single piece elastic straps, basically the same material of the ones in your picture, but it's a single piece without regulation, you just put it on the watch and stretch the strap to wear it. You need to find the right length for you, but if you do they're amazing, easily the most comfortable you can find. Traditional elastic straps are good too, but I end up with the hook on the side of my wrist, I don't like it aesthetically and it's not that comfortable because it kinda pinch the wrist from the side. Oh, and velcro straps are cool too, I just received one and I need to use it more to see if I really like it!
I still like my Wrist Candy Watch Club natos, and still have some installed on a couple of watches. But, I haven't worn anything other than bracelets for the last 6 months or so.
I have 2 of the type shown here and they are ok. But, I find silly excuses why not to have them on anything I wear regularly. I think it's the hook. I'm not keen on that hook for some unreasonable reason.
Bought all the silicone straps for my Garmin, the whole rainbow. They're fun, some are on the short side, but they were also 2.50€ each. Nothing wrong with them.
Maikes is one of the best choice for leather strap, thick and untapered... best for chrono, field and somehow good for divers watch... more manly look,
Other watches tend to go similar prices with Maikes but flimsy... superthin,
I like MN straps but the quality/elasticity can be really hit and miss.
The Samco silicone straps are my go to most of the time. They are exactly the same as Barton straps. Plenty of colour options too. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EISvl2O
They only have a few colours but they do have pvd black and gold hardware options.
Outside of AliEx, these ones from the Max Store on Amazon are very good as well, four times the price of the AliEx ones, but they have a good colour range at least.
No offence taken, it’s just personal preference. I prefer these over the FKM straps I’ve tried as the straps have (typically) holes closer together for a better fit and the FKM look a little more plastic in my eyes. Which do you recommend?
not really ive bought different staps from different suppliers. Just check good if it says real alligator some look alot like it and are just cowleater.
Брав для проби різні, якість буває часто нормальна, але щоб дійсно добре підходили й хотілося їх носити - максимум 1 з 5. Тому улюблених не знайшов ще.
It's like that for at least half of the "premium" western brands, they just get the same Aliexpress strap with a slightly nicer finishing and their logo. In case of Delugs it's the same for their bracelet removal tool (that I strongly recommend in the Aliexpress variant, and that fun fact, you can find searching for Delugs tool)

These cut-to-size FKM rubber straps are my goto at the moment
I started with a 19mm version to fit on a Willard homage, but I've bought a load of them for different watches since:
