Silicone watch strap keeper, pink, for 19 mm straps
This 19 mm watch strap loop in pink silicone keeps the tail of your strap flat against the band once the buckle is…
passant-19-2A clear silicone watch strap loop for 18 mm straps, made to replace a keeper that has split, stretched or gone missing. Being clear, it lets the colour of the strap show through, so it works with almost any band. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 18 mm. It suits classic watches and smartwatches alike, provided the strap has the right width.
The clear keeper takes a different approach to colour: it has none. Being transparent, it lets the band underneath show through, so it suits straps of almost any shade, from black or white to unusual colours for which no matching loop exists. It is also a natural partner for transparent or frosted bands, which are popular on some modern sports and fashion watches.
That makes it one of the most useful spares to keep in a drawer. Whatever 18 mm band you are wearing, the clear loop will look acceptable and do its job of keeping the strap end down.
It is soft silicone, so it stretches as you slide it over the end of the band and then tightens around it. It is not affected by water, which suits swimming and everyday handwashing. Clean it with soapy water; a transparent part shows dust easily, so an occasional wash keeps it clear.
To check the size, measure your band from side to side near the buckle. This keeper is intended for 18 mm.
Is the clear loop really invisible? Not completely; it picks up the colour of the strap beneath, so it stays discreet rather than vanishing.
Can I use the clear keeper on a patterned 18 mm band? Yes, transparency lets the pattern show through, which is often the best solution.
