Tudor pelagos rubber strap
How many have changed to the rubber strap and does it feel or fit any better than the bracelet. Cheers

I have changed to the rubber strap and never looked back. I have the blue pelagos and love the color also.

Mine gets the rubber strap for pretty much all summer. In fact, it just went back on the bracelet over the weekend.
I also have the blue. I definitely think the strap looks better in person than the marketing photos. I think it wears comfortably. I’ve had rubber before that I didn’t like. I do have a relatively small wrist. If you have a large wrist, it may be a little tight |

My rubber has never been out it’s packet. I usually like rubber on my divers but there’s just something about the metal end link mixed with rubber I don’t like.

Loved the bracelet technology but hated it on the wrist. Wears smaller on rubber my preference

I liked the rubber, but I always went back to the bracelet. The micro-adjust is just too good, and I was able to get a better fit with the bracelet.

I haven’t tried the rubber yet but may do so during the next rotation.
It just looks and fits so darn good on the bracelet.

Slightly different point to the question raised by the OP, as I am yet to try my rubber strap but - I have now been wearing my Pelagos for almost a week since I bought it (24/7), and I have to say (on the bracelet) this is probably the most comfortable watch I have. Quite why it is more comfortable than a Submariner or GMT I know not, and why have Rolex allowed Tudor to produce a better clasp/adjustment feature than either the Glidelock (as good as it is) or the Easylink thing on the GMT?
Anyway, for those Rolex only wearers that can't bring themselves to consider a Tudor, for comfort (at least) this is worth a look!

I have never worn my pelagos with the rubber strap. either on the titanium bracelet(occasionally), or Nato/MN strap(majority of the time)

I have put my Pelagos on the Rubber strap on occasion but think the bracelet is the winner. I prefer the new generation of Panerai straps and Seiko's new rubber straps are also great.

I have had my LHD on the braclet from day one and it is the most comfortable one out of all my watches. I did however put the Pelagos rubber strap on my Blackbay and found it fitted very well.

I don't have that watch but from the few times i saw it resting on a strap, it looked really beautiful with no regrets whats so ever.

I dont really like the end links on the rubber strap, and I couldn’t get as nice of a fit as I could with the bracelet. I’ve been hoping that Rubber B or Everest would come out with a fitted strap, but they haven’t. I did just preorder a newly released, fitted strap from Crafter Blue. I know some people don’t like their straps, but it was cheap enough to give a shot. It should be released in a few weeks.

My LHD has only seen the bracelet. One day I'll switch it up and try the strap. The bracelet is awesome though.
