King Samurai + Strapcode Hexad Bracelet Review! A bracelet worthy of a King 

I just found out about this watch and was contemplating on getting it and you convinced me to get this combo. It looks amazing, I can’t wait to get them in.

Wow looks really cool with that hexad... I might order one myself! Thanks for the video!

I've been watching watch review for years, and I don't know why but just now your channel just popped up. Just wanted to say keep up the good work, with your short, precise and to the point review. And cheers for keeping the focus on the watch, lot's of watch channel show little to none watch footage. subscribed

Great watch and bracelet too. Thanks for all the info too. Very good info. I love the look on the bracelet and to have the rubber strap too for more of a daily wearer is perfect.

Loving your videos Josh, thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions and thanks for the great video work showing off the beautiful watches, straps and bracelets. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hey Josh, just put the Hexad from strapcode on my King Samurai white waffle dial, absolutely love it !!, it's not as heavy as it looks. Great combo for this watch, it really elevates the look of the watch to a higher level. Fits comfortable on the wrist as well. Whats really cool is the bracelet will shimmer a bit when the light hits it from different angles as you rotate it on your wrist. Great suggestion !!

Thank you for the review. After watching this review, I got myself the exact bracelet from strapcode and fix it on my brand new Seiko King Samurai Padi SBDY095 (SRPG21K1). I removed 2 links from each side of the bracelet and it is a perfect fit on my 7 inch wrist. I totally agree that my King Samurai now looks stunning with this bracelet. The bracelet made my watch looks ans feel expensive. Definitely so much better in terms of look and feel than Seiko stock bracelet. Awesome!

I just purchase that king and i put it on a bracelet from Strapcode like you. It looks just amazing, i love it, thanks

That’s a tremendous Strapcode bracelet. I have a Strapcode angus jubilee bracelet for my Orient Triton and a Strapcode 3D super oyster bracelet on my skx009. Love Strapcode bracelets. Your hexad bracelet looks perfect on your new King 🤴 Samurai 👍🏻😉

I have this on my skx011. It’s chunky but looks great, I love it. I have 4 strapcode bracelets now. Very impressed with their quality.

Looks amazing especially with the sharp angles on the samurai

For several years I wore an SRP Turtle on a Strapcode bracelet with the ratcheting buckle as my kiteboarding watch. The buckle and bracelet held up great. Strapcode in general has my endorsement if you're planning on wearing a watch in the water.

I have to give you a big thank you for telling me about the Bloomingdale's watch sales. I ended up getting a black Hydroconquest USA edition for under $800 which Is already a score, and got $300 cash back which I used on another sale for a silver Varvatos chain for basically free. MANY thanks! And congrats on the King Samurai, I've got my eye on one as well!

Well, that settled it for me. I'm getting that same setup. I'm fine with the limitations of the buckle when I can, without tools, extend the bracelet on a hot day.

I got this bracelet on my SRPF79 King Samurai dark manta, and it looks fantastic! It really complements the watch a million times more than the stock Samurai bracelet from Seiko. I’m also thinking about ordering the Angus Jubilee bracelet for my SRPE39 King Turtle manta.

I have this set up but with the black dial. I absolutely love it!

I just got the king samurai save the ocean manta. This is my next buy but i want the metal strap.

Gonna get the same strap but in black for mine, I love the black aesthetic alongside the black bezel

A great looking watch. The new bracelet completes the package.

Just replaced the black band on my King Samurai today with the Strapcode Hexad bracelet. Absolutely the best look.

I have ordered the Crafter Blue strap code for my seiko Samurai! The orange band looks so cool Looks like for my black samurai this one is most impressive! The cool thing you can do with the samurai's is upgrade and make them even better! 4R35 movements can be Regulated for better accuracy but it's a very tuff movement you can improve timekeeping for these watches

Just got my Samurai and Hexad. Can’t wait to take it to get put on and fit

I was ABOUT to go buy one of these, when I read one of the reviews on the StrapCode webiste that complained about being able to grip and turn the bezel when one of these Hexad bracelets is on it. I dismissed it at first, but then I took a closer look, and indeed, the factory Seiko bracelet has end links that are much more curved, freeing up space to get a good finger tip purchase on the bezel, whereas the Strapcode end links snug right up to the bezel, leaving little to grip. This may not be a problem for many watches with thicker bezels, but the Samurai has a very thin bezel and is quite firm. It was just enough of a problem that I decided to keep the factory Seiko bracelet, which I don't have any problems with. It helps that this is my first decent ($50+) mechanical watch, so I'm already super impressed with its quality. Anyhoo, I thought I'd chime in.

have the same set up & prefer the clasp over the micro one as I can adjust the size in an instant with the dive extension on hot days which will give you 5 extra adjustments on the bracelet should I need them

Got my White Samurai SRPE37 yesterday. It's gorgeous, wore it to the grocery store and got looks. It will also complement my Gunmetal Samurai SRPB55 that's in my collection. I'll stick to the silicon Seiko bands for now, and eventually get the CrafterBlue band you showed in the other White Samurai video.

Already buy this model.. Rubber Strap version.. Really satisfied

Hey Josh great videos. You were right my friend I got the hexagon silver bracelet and black one and the black one looked weird. The silver one is a knockout. Thank you for your advice. I think this white dial Samurai with that hexagon bracelet is one of the nicest watches I've seen for the money. I paid 350 for the white dial King Samurai brand new. What a deal

I have a Bond NTTD-style Nato on my SPB55, and was planning on swapping it over to my new SRPE37, but I think you just sold me on this setup instead! Fabulous look.

OMG... That compliments the angular look on the watch case so well. The way the straight lines in the lugs continue into the blocky bracelet links is just perfect. I am watching another video of the Samurai with the stock bracelet and Hexad makes the original look half baked and completely out of place. I am considering getting this for my MM300. It might not blend in as well but it will still be a massive improvement over the stock bracelet. And I want something hefty to counterbalance the MM300 watch head. The MM300 is just too top heavy for a rubber or NATO. Great video!

I have this exact combo , I LOVE IT !

Very solid bracelet and clasp. It is beefier than the original one.

Crazy how much our tastes overlap. I just picked up the King Turtle Manta Ray recently and while I was at the AD I tried on this Samurai and was blown away. So I’ll be snagging it soon. It also comes on rubber so I figured I’d pick up a Strapcode Hexad to pair it with. So I search the combo on YT and who has a video about it? Josh, of course! Thanks for this. The combo looks amazing. The video helped!

Just ordered this for my Samurai Ghost, thanks. 🥃

Nice review. Much appreciated

Hi, Josh definitely looks great on the Samurai

How well does the bracelet sit up against the case by the pins? Looking to get the same setup, but I noticed on their site that it says it doesn't fit the king samurai. Looks like it fits great though?

Just ordered the Samurai Shu iro and thought about changing the strap, I’ll see how the Seiko strap feels, that strap code one looks very bulky.

A young bloke with a great channel.

That clasp is seamaster level HUGE lol. The rest of the bracelet looks great!

Do you think the SRPF79 would look good with this bracelet?

I gotta say, Hexad bracelets are better than Rolex and Omega stock bracelets. They look and feel good. Mine don’t have the extension tho. Nice video!!! Thanks.

There are one or two versions of the samurai that are just distinct and amazing

Got the polished center link v clasp one on the way for my samurai manta

Hello again Josh, and thanks for the suggestion to this bracelet. It does seem a lot nicer than the stock bracelet on my King Samurai. For now, Im gonna go with the soft band also per your recommendation on the other post , since my other 2 divers have a steel and a shark mesh bracelet. My KS will be my all purpose watch so I want it to be most comfy and light with a soft band. I’m more of a chronograph guy and I have chronos with steel, leather and silicon bands. I’m not into NATO straps and Leather is a no no on my dive watches lol!

Great video, thank you.🙂👍

Thank you, I actually prefer a wider clasp but I have seven and a half inch wrist. I just ordered a strap code for my Orient Komatsu.

Thanks for posting

Great video Josh. I actually like the way the original black strap looks that came with this originally. But it does look awesome on this metal bracelet. How do you think this would look on the same strap Co bracelet only in Black. Because they make a black one also. Your thoughts?? Ray

Hi Josh. This bracelet looks awesome on the Samurai! I'm considering to get one too, but I'm uncertain if to get a StrapCode or an Islander, which is about half of the price for almost the same looks and overall quality (that's what I heard...). Do you have any experience about this brand? Is it worthy to get one, over the Strapcode? Thx

Great content man. Considering getting this or the Uncle Seiko bracelet for my new King Samurai. How’s the 1st year of ownership? I’m afraid it will add too much weight to the watch.

Sweet watch!

Hi I'm considering buying this watch but how is the time accuracy, because I heard people complain about its 4r35 movement?

With the diver extender, can you ratchet down a few notches to act as a micro adjust? Or is it binary - either fully extended or closed?

do u know if i can order this lovely bracelet from europe?? cause the VAT from USA to Greece is enough....

Got the combo Luvit

Josh, is the dial white o cream? seems cream on your video and white on other videos I've seen. Don't know if it's a camera or lighting thing that makes it look cream.

Would this bracelet fit on a Seiko 5 Sports? I measured and mine is 22mm between the lugs. I lost an end link and now need a new strap.

I’m confused about the micro adjustment comment you made. Is t that the point of the ratchet clasp? So that you can quickly and easily adjust the length of the bracelet? If not, what is the point of the ratchet clasp?

Isn't the ratcheting clasp used for micro adjustment?

Looks way better than the Omega ❤

Great review! Checked the site and was surprised to read a note that the hexad won’t fit the King Samurai which was confusing so I DM’d Strapcode and they confirmed the same. They mentioned they will release the version for the King Samurai mid 2022. Saw in your other Vid a side by side of the Samurai vs the King. Are the specs the same? Thanks in advance!

So it's not on the level of Omega or Tudor...but what is? When I looked them up, the Omega bracelets are like 8x the price. Is there a brand better than strapcode but still not Omega expensive?

How much play in the end links? That is the only thing that keeps me from buying this bracelet.

How did the end link fit into the lug? People have been complaining that the stock bracelets are a little loose on the King Samurai models.

Great video!!! Will the bracelet work on a king turtle?

I have a SRPB53J1, where can I get the steel bracelet as shown, how much, thanks.

Is it me or is the silver color of the bracelet another than the color of the watchcase? Maybe just in the video?

Where did you get that ceramic bezel for your watch?? Thanks

I have the SRPC93 on the hexad but I just can't for the life of me get on with the watch, I think it's like you said bulky, I have a 6.75inch wrist, I think I may sell it. I have found out since I prefer 40mm sizes, Bought a black and blue stripe nato if that can't work with it then I will have to release it!

So I was looking in to one of these exact bracelets for the Seiko SRPE35, but on the strapcode website it says that it is not for the king samurai. Just curious if it will fit the SRPE35?

I just ordered one. Thanks for review hope the 145$ is worth it

Hola amigo exte reloj me gusta es parecido al wr 100 cronógrafo Citizen que tengo saludes

is this strap is for Seiko King SAMURAI SRPE37 Prospex Diver?

Waow !!! Looks better than an Omega

The ratcheting dive strap doesn't cost you a micro-adjust, it _is_ a micro-adjust. Except easier and more convenient.

Does this bracelet scratch the casing since it looks so flush next to the casing

Hi I have the srpb99 padi version I really like the look of this bracelet do they deliver to the Uk?

That bracelet....on that watch is a 10 out of 10.

How many micro-adjust settings can you use on the ratcheting?

I have this awesome looking watch. Very impressed with the ceramic bezel. Beside my submariner, just from the look, l couldn't tell which is better quality. I always wear big sports watches with a 22/18 straps for comfort. Feel much better. If it's 20 lug width, then 20/16. I wear this watch with a hirsh rubber strap. Looks luxurious. I also wear it with a tougher Rios shell cordovan strap for ruggedness.

Just bought one good luck to me

Thats a nice bracelet

Hi, does it fit the SRPE33 as well?

Hi Josh, do you think the actual lock mechanism is too long

Has anyone bought a namoki mod bracelet for their samurai? They look identical to the strapcode version but are a bit cheaper. Looking for a review before buying

Would it fit an Omega 300m?

This bracelet looks and fits great, the hair pulling is killing me though.

I bought a Strapcode Angus Louis for my Orient Triton and it looks the bomb. Also a safety clasp is necessary when swimming and I hate divers that don't use them. Cheers

Is that the polished or brushed version?

What color is the lume?

Will this fit my SRPF79K1?

contemplating if I should get this or new shoes lmao

Very very nice 👍👍

It’s beautiful! But way too thick

Grand Seiko, if you watch this.. why don't you guys make a 1:1 GS version of this model.. (no date version! white birch dial with the lume, instead).. GS movement of course, "steal" the hexad strapcode idea and add a lil imagination to mimick R Sub glidelock or Omega SMP 300m quick adjust clasp and there you go.. sell them at $6000 - $7000 and it will sell a lot.. because this model has a distinct, original Seiko look. For the nickname, just let us do the job for U GS.. Grand Samurai or whatever 👌🙂

What’s your wrist size? Thanks

Deserves to be a Grand Seiko

It really is deservent, of such a bracelet. Long Island watch, has a variation, that comes complete w/ the Strapcode, "hex-head bracelet." The ISL-65, is the one in particular, that I've been interested in. It's $329, but that's without the divers clasp. That would be another $60. By the time it's all said and done though, for another $100-$150, one could have the real "King Samaria," w/ the waffle dial. Sorry, this is all just dawning on me.....SMH. Great video though

Strapcode have a note, this bracelet not fit for King Sam :(

And it's scratches already 😞
