Premium FKM 20mm wide rubber strap at a fair price
This is my third MONTREUX strap I have purchased, and must admit I am very impressed with the comfort and quality of these straps. These are extremely flexible and supple to wear on the wrist, and handles a relatively heavy Doxa Sub with ease. By far the most comfortable FKM straps I have ever experienced and compared to some Tropic, Isofrane & Marathon FKM straps I use on my divers, these Montreux are becoming a favorite. I did swap out the quick release spring bars with high quality Swiss made standard 20mm x 1.8mm spring bars without any difficulty. I am not a fan of quick release bars, and very particular about the quality of spring bars used with my watches. I can confirm these straps will accept a larger 2.0mm diameter OEM spring bar my Citizen Divers use without any trouble. I haven't tested a 2.5mm Seiko FatBoy on the strap. On my 7.5" wrist there is plenty of adjustment and I would say these straps will fit wrists 6.5 to 8" without any issue. The Doxa Sub pictured has short lug length and these straps fit beautifully. Overall a great strap and well worth the money. Highly recommended. Keeping my Fingers crossed MONTREAUX develop other size widths (21 & 22mm) would be nice!

Best strap I have ever bought.
I’m not being paid by them, and not exaggerating whatsoever, this is the best band I have ever bought. Thin, supple, conforms nicely, drapes at the lugs, light - it’s everything I want in a band. I have spent hundreds on Everest, Rubber B, Helvetus and other pricey strap brands, and this Montreux blows them out of the water. It kinda feels like FKM has but the softness you see more in legit Caoutchouc bands. Doesn’t seem to attract lent, and wipes clean pretty easy. Not sure what their secret sauce is, but they nailed it. Got the bright red and dark red. The bright is like a race red, and the dark more of a wine. Hopefully the pictures can help you decide if you’re between the two. Also, not sure why it’s so difficult for some brands to understand that people don’t give a rats about excessively raised/textured branding on the inside of the band. It sits against your skin and only causes irritation, not like anyone ever sees it. So the fact that this is completely smooth less one very finely raised Montreux logo is a nice touch. Someone has common sense at Montreux. Came in a cool box as well. Immediately went to their website and ordered 2 more with the 30% off code FEB25. I will be singing their praises for now on.

Good, not great - still buying another
-The rubber is a good quality, zero complaints. Better than silicone.-With quick release spring bars, this attaches easily.-This is a "universal fit" rubber strap, so it does not hug the watch case.-The product photos show the red to be very vibrant, but in person it appears to me be less vibrant. Also, in person, to my eyes, it appears be a touch in the direction of a rust color. Color-wise, to me, it is good, but not great. Either way, I'd prefer if the promotional photos matched the product a bit better. They seem fairly edited to bump up the color saturation.There are also FKM Rubber straps out there that go for several hundred dollars. For that much money, you get a strap that is shaped for the case of a specific watch, maybe a deployant, instead of pin and buckle, and, if it is OEM, comes with the name and logo of the watch company, but probably not quick release spring bars.For me, it's a pretty good deal. I'm keeping it, and I'll use it. And I'm getting a second in a different color. I like changing around straps - different colors and materials give the watch a whole new look and feel. These are easy to switch, and a pretty good deal for what you get. For black, I'm spending more to go up a tier or two in quality, because I'll wear that color more. But for some variety, these are a great value.Edit 9/13: Got the second band in. Looks great. In person it's a medium Navy blue with a bit of gray. I like it. If I could I'd give it 4.5*, knocking just a bit off for the red color. That said, I bought two. So, that's my endorsement.

Nice quality and worth the money but not for all wrists.
I'm happy with my Strap and would buy again. The only issue is that this strap is for medium to large wrists. I have a 6 3/4 in wrist (17.1cm) and this strap fit me in the next to last hole. I would suggest adding this info on the details or specs that are available for potential buyers.

Your watch DESERVES this!
I am a watch snob that really appreciates a good premium rubber watch strap made of the likes of FKM or Natural Rubber.I have used Zealande, Hirsch Pure (have a lot of those), and other brands. The Montreux beats all of them handily - it's not even close!Compared to the Hirsch, you can actually lay your watch flat and it confirms to your wrist much better. The strap is solid yet thin and light, and wears like a cloud.I got this on sale for $35 which felt like the strap was practically given away, but for $49 this is insane value.While I am giving this strap 5 stars as it truly is the new undisputed king of rubber straps, I have some suggestions:I'd like to see options that better fit smaller wrists (I have a 7.25 inch wrist and was on the second to smallest available hole), the red color option to be more vibrant (it was dull in person compared to the promotional photos), and more strap widths available like 18mm, 22mm, and odd lug size options such as 19 and 21mm too.Montreux, keep up the good work. Your V1 strap is unbelievable and a fantastic start into the watch strap business. I really can't wait to see what the future brings for this company.
