Ive been thinking about doing some mods to a watch or two and was curious how secure are Zulu straps. They dont look to secure at all and Id rather not lose a nice watch if I can help it. Growing up with Casio watch bands I know my watch isnt going anyplace soon.

Never truer words; if you get a one piece Zulu strap trapped in machinery or snagged on something in the field, you best have a sharp knife at hand fast.

The watch head may detach, just remember the strap is firmly fastened to you!!! I always wore resin bands for this very reason, as they will always fail at the springbar first.

If you want the look, get a two piece Zulu, you can always buy or be issued a new watch.

Believe it or not, it's far too secure !!! It's always amazed me, as someone who has worn a watch in some fairly tough environments, That people are more worried about losing their watch than their arm!

Get a Zulu strap caught on something at the wrong time and it will pull your arm off, believe me! Far better a conventional strap that will break out the springbars at a time like that. You can afford to lose a watch far more, even if it is an expensive one. :-s
