ZuluDiver OctoPod Review

Octopod - Version 2 and the NEW Version 3!
Zuludiver Octopod has been around for a while but is it the world’s best watch strap system? In this video, I look at how it works, the price, all the options, and give my Magpie rating.
Is Octopod any good and should you invest in a watch strap system? Only one way to find out - take a look at the video.

What a fantastic review! This is exactly the information I was looking for on this strap system. As I write this, the version three buckle is $117 USD + about $13 shipped to the USA. I’m going to hold off for now as the price needs to come down. For the most part, I use NATO straps on my watches so I can change them very quickly when the mood strikes. The only problem I see based on the review is that with the Octopod MK3 buckle, this really is not feasible, and I would need a different buckle for each strap. This is extremely cost prohibitive as I’d sooner put that kind of money towards a new watch. Thank you!👍💪

Thank you for that feedback - much appreciated. The longer I have the Octopod system, the more I realise I could have done better with other watch straps in terms of how much I actually spent!

Good video. My suggestion is to buy a bronze buckle for your bronze Oris.

[@thewatchfulmagpie]

Great suggestion!

I would love to get your thoughts on some of my straps! This was a great review 👍

[@thewatchfulmagpie]

@@nickmankeydesigns I'd love to see them! I'm a total strap monster at the moment.

Nice review 😊 I own the mk2 buckle, considering the mk3, but size wise there doesn’t seem to be much to gain. If you want to play around, get some thin leather, it can look fantastic. I did some both brown and green ones.

[@thewatchfulmagpie]

Oh the leather idea I like. I've got one Mk 3 and it's marginally better. I see they have put the prices right up now which makes it much less of a realistic option. I had the system a few months now and it's still a pain to change them in a hurry but I still like the colors

[@panchoskywalker]

You can adapt any strap to it right? any nato I mean.

[@thewatchfulmagpie]

Ah no you have to buy the Octopod material straps in theory...but I haven't tried cutting bits off a normal nato yet

[@vgolovach2]

Why not a perlon?

[@thewatchfulmagpie]

I find those less rigid and the ones I have don't feel good but I know what you mean. Thanks
