I usually wear monochrome and mostly black straps for their versatility. However, I would say that the Apex Nylon Tore Blue OctoPod strap is just as versatile as a black strap and it is possible to use it with practically any watch, clothing or occassion. Additionaly, it offers a small pop of light blue color in form of a thin middle strip. The material itself is excellent, it feels good on skin, stays clean, doesn't stretch with time and dries quickly if it gets wet. It was also easy to shorten it for my small wrists using scissors and a lighter to slightly melt the edges to prevent fraying.
