Today I'm reviewing the Uncle Seiko Waffle Strap v2. Uncle Seiko sells recreations of vintage Seiko straps and bracelets. Check out his products at uncleseiko.com. He's also shared a 10% discount code: WISDEAL.

Your Turtle looks good on the waffle. I have my SRP 777 on a Strapcode Endmill for that vintage look.

Is this strap uv resistant? Thinking of using mine when on holiday

@joeschlicht 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I'd like a waffle strap that feels like the strap from the Turtle, not the skx. Wonder who makes them.

Is the discount code still on? Will this fit a citizen promaster ny0040-09e ? Thanks

Lemme ask ya this: can you reuse the oem Seiko keeper on that bad boy? Just ordered this strap but I opted for the single keeper.

@TimelineWatchReview 4 жыл бұрын

bwcastillo I think the waffle strap is too thin for the metal Seiko keeper. I think I remember seeing someone use the OEM buckle and keeper on a US waffle strap. You can give it a shot, but I‘m not optimistic. I personally don’t feel the keeper jives with the waffle strap aesthetic either.

Is it hima waffle strap like we get in amazon? Is it not more comfortable?

@TimelineWatchReview 4 жыл бұрын

I believe the Hima waffle strap is vulcanized rubber. I have one of these straps that are used by these Chinese watch companies. I like the material of it, but the strap is much thicker than the Uncle Seiko strap. It also has a weird taper at the spring bars. For those reasons, I prefer the Uncle Seiko strap. At first I thought the Uncle Seiko strap felt a little cheap because the material has more of a plastic feel than rubber. However, the more I’ve worn it, the more I prefer the Uncle Seiko Waffle to the thicker vulcanized rubber straps. If you’re looking for a strap similar to the Uncle Seiko, cheapestnatostraps.com has a waffle strap that‘s pretty much identical. I hope that answers your question.

It’s going for a particular vintage aesthetic. I bought a few competing waffle straps and the Uncle Seiko is my favorite. I’ve grown to like this even more, but he knocks it out of the park with his GL831. That’s my favorite rubber strap that I’ve tried.

I don't know how you can waffle on about this strap for so long. 5 minutes would cover it.

@TimelineWatchReview 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the laugh and possibly constructive criticism. Can we agree it’s better to waffle on for 16 minutes than post a tiresome 45 minute review for Uncle Seiko’s Tire Tread strap?

@technoboy21 3 жыл бұрын

Asking $39 for this is a robbery. It's truly just another Chinese strap with a logo.

@TimelineWatchReview 3 жыл бұрын

If you’re not a fan of the waffle, check out the GL831. That strap is the same price and is way better than any Chinese strap you’ll find. It’s worth every penny!

You know most are made in China? Strapcode are so is Uncle Seikos and a bazillion other brands like Zelos, Spinnaker watches, and Phoibos watches and many others. I bought their Razorwire bracelet and its F n awesome!

@@justintonation9726 Thanks for your response. I do own GL831 and it’s so comfortable. I wanted to try Waffle for its retro looks, but wanted to see if they are comfortable as GL831.
