Submersible velcro strap?

There is a velcro strap in the box for the Submersibles, has anyone tried it?

It seems awfully long, although it is supposed to be used with a wet suit.

I like the look of it, but just measuring it without putting it on made me realize that it will look strange because there will be a lot of strap "left over".

Basically I am curious to see a wrist pic.

Where did you get the keeper on the strap? Mine does not have that.

Thank you. It seems to fit really nice on your wrist, which means that it will probably not on my 6.75" flat wrist. How much of the strap is left over? Ideally I would like it to close on as much velcro as possible.

I’ll take a pic later and post it, and the strap comes with newer submersibles shipped in the later part of 2019. Basically when they stopped shipping in pear wood and started the black plastic case.

I have one that came with my 979. It’s very comfortable and smells terrific too. Like quality leather. And of course infinitely adjustable so you can get the perfect fit.

Judging from the picture of it, seems there won't be much strap leftovers... or better still it's not bad.

My wrist is a tad over 7”. I wear the strap backwards.

Thank you!

The strap fits you nicely. Is it backwards? I think I would have mounted it like that too, seems easier to strap it on then...
