Basically I realized as off now I don’t have a watch that I can take out on a jog or more physical activity without worrying that it will get damaged or simply looks too dressy for the context.

I mean sure I have a couple digital watches good for it. But eventually their buttons become stuck and they’re more of a hassle to operate than it’s worth. They’re still pieces to have but not very functional anymore

In this more purely utilitarian concept, this watch caught my eye because it’s both rugged and understated at the same time. However not sure how to feel about a fabric strap. Specifically:

  • Will it lose color more easily compared to a leather one?
  • Isn’t it probably going to make my wrist sweat less during outdoor activities? (This would be a plus)
  • what are the odds of it unstitching with time?

Thanks

    I really like my sailcloth strap. Has held up well but does start to get fraying / stray threads

    Honestly, don’t overthink this. Grab the watch if you like it. Then grab the proper sized black rubber Seiko diver strap. Easily swapped with the drilled lugs and it’ll serve all of the purposes you’re looking for.
