Silicone watch strap keeper, orange, for 20 mm straps
Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: an orange silicone keeper with a 20 mm inner width. The 20 mm figure is the…
passant-20-15If the free end of your 14 mm strap keeps flapping about, this light green silicone loop puts it back where it belongs. It feels soft against the skin and does not mind water, so it can stay on for swimming, showers and workouts. Light green is fresh and summery, ideal for matching a pastel or mint strap. It is meant for straps exactly 14 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
Light green is fresh and springlike, a colour seen on children's watches, pastel fashion straps and casual summer pieces. If your 14 mm band is mint, pistachio or a similar soft green, this keeper restores the matching ring that has gone missing.
It also brings a lively accent to white, grey or beige straps. On a watch with a white case or silver tones the effect is light and cheerful, perfect for warm-weather wear.
Because it is made of elastic silicone, the loop can be pulled over the tip of the strap and slid into place in seconds. Rain, pool water and perspiration have no effect on it. Light colours reveal grime sooner, so wash it occasionally with lukewarm soapy water to keep the green bright.
A broken keeper is a small problem that quickly becomes irritating: the end of the band springs up and snags on sleeves. A new loop is a simple fix and costs far less effort than replacing the strap.
Check that your band is 14 mm wide where the loop goes, measuring across it with a ruler near the buckle.
Is light green similar to emerald green? No, light green is a soft pastel, while emerald is a deep, jewel-like green offered as another keeper.
Can this loop be worn while swimming? Yes, silicone tolerates chlorinated and salt water; just rinse it afterwards.
