AP x Swatch Royal Pop: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the AP x Swatch Royal Pop as a wristwatch?
Yes. The Royal Pop is designed as a pocket watch, but it can also be worn on the wrist with the right strap. Our dedicated Royal Pop strap range is built exactly for this purpose, so you can wear your Royal Pop every day.
Do Wristbuddys straps fit all 8 Royal Pop models?
Yes. The Royal Pop ships as a pocket watch, but with the right strap it works as a wristwatch too. Our dedicated Royal Pop strap range is built for exactly that, so you can wear your Royal Pop every day.
Are the Royal Pop straps available now?
Yes. The full range is live. Shop the straps and cases above and pick the combination that fits your Royal Pop.
What's the difference between the crown at 3 and crown at 12 Royal Pop models?
The Royal Pop comes in two case orientations. Crown at 3 models have the winding crown on the right side, like a traditional wristwatch. Crown at 12 models have the crown on top, closer to the original pocket watch layout. Both work as wristwatches with the right strap, and we've built straps and cases for both versions.
Do I need the Wristbuddys case to use the strap?
Yes. The Royal Pop doesn't have traditional lugs out of the box, so a Wristbuddys case is required to attach a strap. Once you have a case, every Wristbuddys Royal Pop strap fits it, so you can collect different colors and swap them whenever you want.
Can I buy multiple straps for the same Royal Pop?
Yes, and the system is built for it. Once you have a Wristbuddys case, every Royal Pop strap we make fits it. Many customers start with one combo and add straps over time to match outfits, seasons, or moods. You can also mix and match case colors and strap colors however you want.
How does the Wristbuddys Royal Pop strap system work?
The Royal Pop strap system has two parts: a Wristbuddys case and a strap. The case attaches to your Royal Pop and gives it traditional watch lugs so a strap can be fitted. Once you have a case, every Wristbuddys Royal Pop strap fits it. That means you can build your own combination, mix colors between case and strap, and add new straps over time without buying another case. Cases come in a wide range of colors too, so the look is fully yours.
Are Wristbuddys straps affiliated with Audemars Piguet or Swatch?
No. Wristbuddys is an independent strap maker. Our Royal Pop straps are third-party accessories designed to fit the collection.
How To Wear The Royal Pop On Your Wrist
The Royal Pop is designed as a pocket watch. Out of the box, it comes with a calfskin lanyard for wearing it around the neck, in a pocket, or clipped to a bag. What it doesn't come with is a wrist solution.
That's the gap our Royal Pop strap range is built to fill. Each strap is being developed specifically for the Royal Pop's case geometry, with the same premium construction we apply across our full strap catalog.
When the range launches, you'll be able to wear your Royal Pop as a wristwatch every day, without compromising the watch's design or finish.
