passant-14-16Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a purple silicone keeper with a 14 mm inner width. It suits classic watches and smartwatches alike, provided the strap has the right width. Purple adds a bold note of colour while staying easy to wear. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 14 mm.
Purple is a colour with personality, popular on fashion watches, girls' watches and fitness straps. If your 14 mm band is violet, plum or lavender-toned, losing its keeper leaves a visible gap in the colour scheme. This purple loop fills that gap and holds the strap tail down again.
As an accent it can also liven up grey, white or black straps, or echo purple details on a dial. Silver and rose-gold cases pair well with it.
Start by sliding the ring over the free end of the strap, stretching it slightly with your fingers. Then push it up until it sits a short distance from the buckle. The silicone grips the band once in position, keeping the end flat.
This keeper is not bothered by water, sweat or soap, so it can stay on through hand washing, swimming and sport. Wash it in warm soapy water when it looks dull. It is soft against the skin and light enough to go unnoticed.
Before buying, measure the strap width at the keeper's position. This loop is made for bands of 14 mm.
Will purple match a lavender strap? It is a deeper purple than lavender, so it gives a tone-on-tone effect rather than an exact match.
Can I use it on a 14 mm fabric strap? Yes, it fits any band 14 mm wide, though it is designed with silicone and rubber straps in mind.
