OEM kevlar dive strap
Just got a 305 and I tried on the second strap that comes with it (the kevlar strap with the friction buckle). The strap seems really long (which I guess makes sense if you are wearing it over a wet suit). At first I thought it was going to be a cool alternative strap...but I can't imagine I'll use this strap for day-to-day usage. Does anyone use this aside from when diving?

Never even mounted mine. The length is to accomodate a wet suit. I just keep it fresh with the box / manuals etc.
Start shopping for aftermarket straps. There's no end to the possibilities!

Btw, how do you fit your strap in the box? It seems like it's too long to fit in w/o bending it... |

I keep the short side of the Kevlar inside the box under the keeper on the right side. The long side I just sit on top of the inner wooden box before closing it up with the black outer cardboard box. |

I had a regular black dive strap and it's definitely sized LONG. I sold it.

Definitely had the same problem, but I wanted to use the "friction" buckle as you call it. Found a generic strap on amazon that isn't ideal but makes do.

Follow up question: is the buckle fitted to the dive strap intended to be removed from the strap? I don't think the included screw driver fits the screw attaching it to the strap.

It was so long ago I don't remember what I used, OEM driver or a million other precision ones I own. It did however leave some screw wear unfortunately.
