Black and green is the pairing that works hardest. In daylight it reads as an ordinary dark sports strap that goes with any watch and any jacket, so you are not committing to a bright band you will be sick of by March. Then the lights go out and the luminous sections come up green – which is no accident, since green is the colour the human eye picks out best in the dark, and it is why luminous watch hands have always been that colour.
Key Features
- Dark and smart by day – black works with everything, so it is a strap you will actually leave on
- Glows green in the dark – the brightest colour to the eye at night, which is why watch lume is green
- Fits any 22mm watch – a standard lug width, so it is not tied to one make or model
- Soft sport silicone – comfortable running, in the gym and overnight, and it wipes clean in seconds
- Shrugs off sweat – silicone does not hold moisture or smell the way fabric or leather does
- Useful in the dark – handy for night runs, dog walks, camping and finding the watch on the bedside table
- Swaps back in a minute – nothing permanent, so keep the original for smarter days

Check it will fit, and how the glow works: Measure the gap between the lugs on your watch – the two horns the strap sits between – and make sure it is 22mm. The easiest way is to take the old strap off and measure that. The glow is charged by light, not by a battery: leave it in daylight or under a lamp for a few minutes and it will glow brightly at first and then gradually fade over the following minutes, the way luminous watch hands do. It is not designed to glow all night, and a strap kept up a sleeve all day will not have charged.
Please note: This is an independent aftermarket strap sold on its own. No watch is included, and it is not made by, supplied by or endorsed by any watch manufacturer – any brand or model named in this listing is mentioned only to indicate which watches the strap is intended to fit. A few watches use a proprietary fitting rather than standard spring bars even at 22mm, so check yours takes ordinary spring bars before ordering. Take care with the spring bars when fitting it, as it is easy to scratch a case with a sharp tool; any jeweller will fit a strap in a couple of minutes for very little. Wash it in warm soapy water now and again and rinse it after heavy sweating.
