That is why I purchased my turtle. It is a wonderful pool/beach trip beater. I have mine on a black BC 284 strap and it is honestly a pure joy to wear, I love the darn thing.

It's a lot of fun to wear Travis. I've worn it with a tie to work on the bracelet and blue rubber strap also. It works so well. I get as much enjoyment from my three Seikos as I do my Submariner. The more I wear it on the BC 284, the more the strap breaks in. I'm considering a red BC also

Who is this Travis guy? J/K...... Travis/Trevor, happens all the time.

I have a few watches, wearing my Speedy Pro right now actually but still look forward to wearing my SRP 779 just as much.

One of my favourite watches ever. No need to ever take it off. Perfect for the summers at the lake.

Great watch for the beach, or really anywhere. I took mine to the Bahamas a few months ago. Left the Sub at home and just took one watch for a change (I did wear it on the bracelet a few days and then put it on a NATO). The Turtle was perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, water slides, and the lazy river with the kids. It's hard to believe it's so reasonably priced.

Have a great day Sir!!

Turtles are great for beach going. That is one thing they were made to do with ease.
