Pic request for ROOs with a short strap
As some of you might already have known from one of my old threads, I am really considering the ROO Diver.
Some say that the short strap completely changes how the watch wears with smaller wrists - smaller than 6.5 inches. More specifically 6.3 inches. It would be really nice to some short strap setups. I am really on the fence between the Diver and the Daytona 500. Any help would greatly appreciated. Some pics for reference. |

It does not change the appearance at all, just fits a little better where you don't have to go to the last hole to get it to the right level of tightness. It's just a shorter strap....

Or the best head on shots, but they wear the same it is just personal preference. The orange is short and black is regular. I am likely going to go back to the regular length soon, on the short strap I am on the 2nd to last notch anyways. Think my wrist size is around 6.75

Thanks. What I’ve gathered so far is that they wear pretty much the same, just shorter.

How do they look on the other side of the wrist?

Barely any excess after the buckle. One of the reasons why I don’t love the short strap... Just being picky but I like a little excess since I think it looks slightly better. Plus the excess is not even long enough to go under the 2nd loop so I just move it to the top of the band near the lug.

Does the ROO Diver come with a number of straps? each of different lengths? Or can you buy shorter straps from AP?

I'm not familiar with the diver short straps, but the OEM short straps for the 42 ROOs are terrible in my experience. the buckle side is 55mm and the tail side is 115mm which I think is much too long.
Best short straps for folks with 6.5" to 6.8" wrists is 60-65 on buckle side and 105-110 on tail side. |
