Beigefarbenes gebogenes CTS-Kautschukarmband

My first rubber strap apart from a Citizen diver from the early 90:s.
Amazingly comfortable! Fits my Certina Action Diver 41mm Titanium like a glove!
I really like the clasp as well. Although it pinched my skin a bit until I figured out how to close it without pinching, but after that it’s fantastic.
Time will tell how it holds up, but I have a good feeling.
I would love to see the curved CTS strap it in the ligt blue color.

Kind regards/Kristian

Really like the new CTS curved rubber strap from Wristbuddys . I’m most impressed from the fitment and mostly the gap fitment between the lugs. Love my GMT 41 but the bulky case and longer lugs always make it challenging for the aftermarket straps to fill that gap and make it aesthetically better looking. Well, no more, the design is great and the actual strap is bulky which makes it fit great in that area imo. They also have the integrated straps but I really like the texture of that one and I’m very pleased it looks as nice in person as on the online ad. The color is as the pictures one and it fits nicely with the Opaline dial. Yes, it’s pricey but honestly I’ve spent few hundred $ for the not good fit straps so if that can help and save money for someone who looks for great fit , comfy strap , that’d be great 😊

I decided to order from Wristbuddys after being repeatedly targeted by their slick social media ads. Between the massive amount of 5-star reviews on their site and the influencer hype surrounding their curved rubber straps, I finally pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, the actual product completely failed to live up to the marketing promise.

First, let's talk about the price versus the actual quality. They charge a premium for what they claim are custom-engineered, highly resistant rubber strap. In reality, the material feels remarkably similar to the generic TPU and silicone straps you can find on Amazon or AliExpress for a fraction of the cost. The texture feels somewhat cheap and foam-like, rather than the high-end, heavy FKM rubber they imply you are getting like stock luxury watch straps. The buckle finish is also a major letdown; the strap does not stay attached and repeatedly comes off.

It seems they invest all their capital into buying social media ads and copywriting. rather than ensuring actual quality control. Save your money. A $30 strap from Amazon is better than this POS.
