Black Silicone Strap Loop for Casio G-Shock, 18 mm
Add a black accent to your Casio G-Shock or simply replace a missing keeper with this silicone loop for 18 mm straps.…
passhock-18-01Compatible with Casio G-Shock straps 20 mm wide, this grey silicone loop holds the free end of the strap firmly in place, even during demanding activities. It is water-resistant, unmarked and easy to clean with soap and water. Note that on most G-Shock straps the buckle has to be removed to slide the new loop on, so allow a few minutes for fitting.
When a keeper splits, the strap end lifts and rubs, and sooner or later the band itself starts to wear. A neutral grey replacement for 20 mm G-Shock straps is a quick fix that suits almost any colour of watch.
Grey matches grey and metallic-look G-Shocks, and on black it creates a very subtle two-tone effect. It also works with military, urban and stealth models. Unlike lighter colours, it hides dust and everyday grime well, which makes it practical for watches worn on building sites, workshops or long walks.
Many men's watches use straps between 18 and 22 mm, so it is worth measuring rather than guessing. Place a ruler across the band close to the buckle, where the keeper sits. If it shows 20 mm, this loop is the one. Measuring near the case can give a wider figure, so avoid that spot.
The silicone is supple and waterproof. Stretch it gently to fit it over the end of the strap; on some G-Shock models the buckle has to be taken off first. Once in place, it grips the thick resin band firmly, which a thin generic keeper cannot do.
Is grey a good choice for a spare keeper? Yes, it is neutral enough to go on black, grey and many coloured straps.
Can I wash it with the watch on? Yes, silicone is waterproof; rinse with soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
