Swemike Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ok got a new lovely AP Roo, have the leather strap with the large clip-on clasp and it hurts my wrist like hell. After an hour or two I have large marks on my wrist and feels like bruising . Just cant really find any setting that make it feel comfortable. The strap is marked "28", can you get aftermarket straps without the metal clipon clasp? If so where? Found strapdeluxe which looks promising? Anything within the EU ppl want to recommend ?

Ztech Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Try doing a quick search on this. I recall reading something about this some time back. I think others were having the same issues as you are. I also recall that a few people were saying that they bent (?) the metal part to contour with their wrist that helped. Good luck.

alanytical Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wouldn't recommend bending the deployant, you could lose alignment and make it unusable, or it can easily break from the pressure of bending it. Just buy a buckle w/ springbar at AP Bands if you want some branding, or you can find generic ones on the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 there's a website that sells AP Roo straps...i don't know much more about it...my good friend, HikeUSA, mentioned it to me - i believe in a post...he recently was stuck in the airport and posted a whole bunch of wristies...i commented about his AP Roo Safari and he mentioned a site to get straps...search for the post or pm him... or the second option would be to give up and sell it cheaply to me...

MADRED7 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi Swemike, but the best and easiest and cheapest solution is....turn the strap up-side-down. Normally one wears the short part of the strap at the 12 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swemike Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Nice idea to switch the band around. How hard is it? Can I do it myself? I have the small screwdriver set, but do I unscrew the screws in the metal part of the watch or the smaller screws in the leather strap itself?

Swemike Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Problem solved, switching the strap around worked perfect. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
