What watch do you wear daily?

An Apple Watch - unsure what generation. The most useful function is being able to ping my phone when I’ve misplaced it, but I do use a handful of apps (timers, message notifications, run tracker).

I used to be actually kind of big into Garmin running watches, but as I got older and lazier I found I didn’t need all the metrics and features to slowly amble around my neighbourhood.

I also have a Swatch that I bought on my honeymoon in Paris some 20 years ago that I never wear.

A Casio F91WG (the orange one). A timeless classic, useful and (in my opinion) elegant. I've been missing some functions lately, though, such as multiple alarms and a countdown timer. Thinking about upgrading it to a G-Shock in the future.

I wear Pinetime (or rather this). I had Pinephone for some time, so I went for Pinetime to match it. Also - I'm cheap and Pinetime is cheap, so we go together :-) It is very basic and lacks a lot of features... It can show you time, you can set it without phone, you can use alarm on the watch withoutphone too. It has stopwqtch, timer and alarm functions. You can control media playback from it. It also counts your steps and you can use built-in heart rate sensor whoch is slow to get first reading but seens accurate. Watch has only vibration motor, no speaker. It does notifications of course, you can pickuo or hang the phone from it (or just mute it), but you can't interact in any way with text notifications (no replying). There are a few watchfaces but you can't customize it to yourown style (if you know programming really well, you can). I have problems with connection once in afew days - watch disconnects from phone and even hough it's paired, I have problens getting it connected again (have to restart the watch or BT on phone or the whole phone). Given that my wife has Pinetime too and has different phone and the sameproblems, I think it's problen wth watch itself. Well, I knew I'm basically buying devkit and becoming betatester of product that won't ever have final version, so I'm okay with it as is.

If I had to buy standard watch for me, I would only get one concrete watch - titanium skeleton atomatic watch. I wouldn't care about brand much (if it was some known brand) and the only thing I would step down from would be titanium (for stainless steel) if I had to. But given I'm cheap and such watches start at the lowest of over 200€, I'm not byuing any. Also I'm quite used to notifications on my Pinetime and also my job doesn't require any dress code, so no need for a nice mechanical watch, really.

EDIT for Pinetime: It lasts on battery for ages. If I don't use HR sensor and just wear it and use it for time and notifications, it can do 10-14 days.

Garmin Venu SQ for the health and activity tracking, and overall really good software.

If I'm being fancier, then my Citizen Eco-Drive watch.

A Timex Expedition North [mumble mumble] 41mm. It hits the following criteria (in rough priority order):

• Quartz movement. My watch is a timepiece first and foremost. Mechanical watches are neat (they actually are), but a $10k Rolex keeps worse time than the $10 F91W someone else in this thread posted.
• Reasonably small. Some men's watches are freaking enormous, and I find that unattractive (I have kind of slender wrists) and also inconvenient (they catch on clothing and I constantly bang them on things around me).
• Classy enough to wear in formal situations, but
• with full Arabic numerals so I can read it. (I am terrible at reading analog watch faces with pips or Roman numerals. Don't know why. It's a me thing, but it is a thing.)
• Sapphire window. I cannot tell you how many acrylic or quartz windows I've scratched. (I mean, it's as many as previous watches, so, like, not more than half a dozen. =P)
• At least token water resistance. Will I dive with it? Definitely not. Will I swim with it? Maybe. Will I wear it in the rain? Absolutely yes. 100m is probably an order of magnitude deeper than I will ever take it, but better too waterproof than not enough.
• Reasonably priced. This watch was roughly $150 when I bought it.

The solar power is fine, though replacing watch batteries on occasion doesn't really bother me. (I do have to think about it through the winter, because a full charge of the internal battery lasts a few months, and it's entirely possible for it to spend a few months in a row tucked under a sleeve when it's cold out.) I like having the date complication, but I don't like having to adjust it ~ semimonthly. (Perpetual date is trivial in software, but I assume relatively complex to implement with a mechanical date window. Ironically, the F91W wins this one, too.)

Before this watch, I wore a Pebble Time Round (RIP). I liked it, but I don't really miss it. The major differences from my current watch:

• I scratched the glass window, like, immediately after getting it. =(
• Getting notifications on my wrist was nice. I hide notification contents on my phone's lock screen but pushed them through to the watch, which was convenient.
• Similarly, screening calls without digging a ringing phone out of my pocket was nice.
• Switching between info-dense and classy watchfaces was nice.

I don't wear my watch to sleep, so charging it nightly wasn't a big deal for me. I am really not interested in the current crop of smart watches:

• A sometimes-off screen is an absolute dealbreaker. I don't care how good you assert your "gesture" recognition for screen on is; I must see the time every time I look at my watch, irrespective of preceding motions or if I'm even wearing it.
• A proprietary phone app is an absolute dealbreaker at this point. Gadgetbridge or nothing.
• The vast majority of them are large, clunky, and ugly.

I use a 1st gen Pixel Watch. No particular desire for it over any other smart watches. I had just been looking for one as a self-birthday present around when it came out and went for it. It's nice though and does what I was wanting. Had a simple look, let me interact with phone notifications, and also had NFC if I wanted to do payments.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 since December 2021 (even though I now have a Pixel phone). I also have a Garmin Forerunner 55 that I bought last summer for more accuracy when tracking runs and because my regular smartwatch's battery can't really deal with marathons and longer runs, so I would have to charge it too much after training runs. Both watches are not amazing and aren't bad. They're just watches that do what I want. I would never buy a luxury watch.

Honestly I'm happy with my Fossil watches (regular watches not smart). Watch snobs may scoff but imo they're the best bang for your buck, they're well made and they look nice. Just like with headphones, the difference between $50 and $250 is huge, but the difference between $250 and $2500 isn't enough to justify the price for me. I've got 4 Fossils on sale over the past few years that look nice with various outfits, and a pair of sub-$300 Sennheiser HD569s that sound great d-_-b

I’m honestly not sure what the model is, but the more traditional watch I wear is a Tissot automatic I bought for 900 francs as a souvenir in Switzerland. I like it, it’s nice and only being ~1k usd I don’t feel the need to baby it or anything.

I also wear an Apple Watch, these days mostly for practicality. When you’re in an area where the metro can use Apple Pay, it’s a godsend.

Just to clarify, I don’t wear both at the same time. One or the other.

I don't have a daily watch anymore since I really only wear them out of the house and I mostly work from home. The closest I'd have to a daily watch is a Borealis Bronze Bull Shark. When I'm in the office or out to dinner, etc., I rotate between a Heuer Monaco Calibre 11, Panerai PAM563, IWC Spitfire Mark XVI, Omega Speedmaster Auto Triple-Date, and a Blancpain Leman chronograph.

I'm boring, I just wear an Apple Watch. It has been very useful for tracking my sleep quality.

But I wouldn't have bothered commenting if I didn't have something slightly more interesting to share. I used to wear this binary watch, which I've owned since high school. I'm still pretty good at reading it quickly.

I have a Fossil Collider HR.

I find it to be very handsome and can be worn casually or dressed up; I like that I get notifications on it, as well as being able to control music and podcasts, though I don't feel like I use that feature as much as I did on my Pebble. I like that it has about 7 days of battery life, as well as being well disguised, so it doesn't look like a big square tablet on my wrist.

That said, I don't think I'd buy another. I've owned it for about a year or two now and one of the buttons has lost its "clickiness", though it still works. The dials randomly decide to just disappear off the face and I need to go into the settings to reenable them. I am forced to "sync" the watch everyday, otherwise it won't receive notifications or let me control my music. Randomly, the music controls change, so the skip button becomes the back button and I've found myself listening to a song on repeat more than once because of this; I see no rhythm or reason as to why this happens.

It's a lovely watch and all, but I often find myself irritated with it. I grant that it was cheap, but it met the parameters of what I wanted in a watch, but I just wish I could get another Pebble Steel.

I wear a watch every day (and night, only really take it off to shower). I also don't ever really spend more than around $100 usd on them.

A few watches back I was on a Seiko 5 automatic. I loved the look, and I love the idea of an automatic watch, but found it annoying how inaccurate it was (it might have been magnetized, or I might have jarred something into misalignment at some point, but it was constantly losing or gaining a few minutes per day).

After that I moved to a hybrid analog/digital Casio Waveceptor that was solar powered and would auto-adjust itself using atomic clock radio frequencies. Accuracy was fantastic, but I like using nato wrist straps and the way the pin things were positioned on the watch meant the strap put a lot of outward pressure on them, and eventually one of them tore right through the plastic case of the watch.

Most recently I've replaced that one with a Timex T80 steel, which has a pretty sweet nostalgic/retro look to it and stainless steel casing. It's not solar powered and doesn't auto-adjust, but I just checked and it's only lost about 4 seconds in the 4 months that I've been wearing it, so that's good enough for me. Also I haven't had to yet obviously, but I expect the battery to be fairly easily user-replaceable.

A Sugess Tourbillon Master Automatic with Calendar and Day of week complications. The tourbillon is freaking mesmerizing and the watch itself is beautiful. I can't even bring myself to care that it was made in China.

https://sugesswatch.com/products/tourbillon-master-su8004bkr-blue-roman-numerals

I have some other interesting watches too. A galaxy watch, some skeletonized mechanicals and one that has ball bearings instead of hands. But the tourbillon is almost always my go-to.

Casio A158WE.I have a "nicer" watch that I wear depending on the occasion, but most times, the A158WE is the one I reach for in the morning.

This stainless steel watch:
Can reliably tell the time for (1) time zone.
Can set (1) alarm.
Was purchased on sale for $10
Looks good with almost any outfit
Has a battery life that lasts (7) whole years.
Was only $10
Is very lightweight
Is durable enough
Is water resistant enough

And did I mention it was $10? Generally speaking, I only really need two things from a watch. One is to be able to reliably tell the time with little no maintenance, and the other is to look good on my wrist. This watch does both, while giving me peace of mind that should anything ever happen to it, it was only $10

I'm still hanging on to my 2015-era Pebble Time (grey bezel, Slides of Time face, leather band). The battery life has declined to a couple days from the original 10+, but I love the look and feel and the simple, charming UI does exactly what it needs to do: schedule, notifications, alarm, timer, sleep/steps, date, and weather. I dread the day it finally dies (and will probably try for a battery replacement, though it's tough because it uses a weird nonstandard size).

I have a Timex Easy Reader watch. It is not fancy in any way. It tells me the time and it's easy to read. It is a clock and doesn't really have any other features besides a button to make it glow in the dark. The one I have is about 8 years old and it cost me 20 bucks back then so I'd say I've gotten a good value out of it.

Depending on the day, I'm either wearing a silver Casio AE1200WH or an Orient Maestro (apparently that's the name?) with a white face and blue markers. Wearing something as precisely engineered and built as a mechanical watch just feels good, but smacking a cheap movement around with the vibrations from mountain biking does not. Besides, how else would I know when it's 9:15? Or, what if I need an uneven and dim amber light? Only Casio will suffice for such times.

A Timex Midtown Chrono 40mm. I like watches (in a casual, not-willing-to-spend-money sort of way), but I'm clumsy, I'm forgetful, and (as previously mentioned) I don't want to spend a lot of money on them. The Midtown is a quartz watch (so it's hard to break the movement and the only maintenance it requires is a battery change every few years), it's reasonably waterproof (50m, so I'm not going to kill it if I keep it on while I wash the dishes), it looks (in my opinion) pretty good, and it wasn't expensive (I got it on sale for about $85).

I love the idea of a mechanical watch; my background is in mechanical engineering and I'm so fascinated by how they work I've bought a few movements and learned how to take them apart and put them back together. Some days it's great fun to get out my tweezers and tiny screwdrivers and poke away at them, but more often I just want a watch that works.

For me, the criteria for picking it were:

• I have to like how it looks - if I think it's ugly, I won't wear it and then what's the point?
• It can't be too expensive - I've broken watches before (mostly by putting them in my pocket when I was washing the dishes or my kids, forgetting about them - the watches, not the kids - and putting them through the wash)
• It needs to be waterproof - or else I'll put it in my pocket and it'll go through the wash
• It needs to be quartz - I'm clumsy, I will bang it into stuff by accident or drop it or something, and if it was a mechanical watch I'd constantly be worrying "did that bump break it - is it still ticking?"

I vacillate mainly between a Rolex Submariner, and a Seiko Alpinist (blue ed). I have a handful of “enthusiast” digital, quartz, and mechanical watches that I’ve picked up over the years. I started watch collecting just out of grad school and burned a fair amount of disposable income on it, but since the pandemic the market has been crazy, and personally I’ve had a hard time justifying big expenditures on any hobby (let alone jewelry) over the other demands in my life.

There are still great deals to be had on the grey market but a lot of my excitement in the hobby dwindled as speculators started taking over hobbyist forums and trading platforms.

Garmin Instinct 2. I like the monochrome, low-power screen. If I'm not doing GPS things or runs for quite a while without a charge. When I am doing GPS things - running, mostly, it's customizable enough to show me what I want.

And, try add I might, I can't break it no matter how many things I bash it into accidentally.

Citizen EBJ74-1741.

This is the watch that has been successful in stopping me from buying new watches 😅

It's perfect for a daily watch. It's a HAQ watch (only 6 seconds late in a year, the last time I checked). It's solar powered. It also has perpetual calendar feature.

Pretty much a set it and forget it watch, but very accurate time keeping.

Apple Watch Series 8. I use it for sleep tracking and more gradual alarms in the morning, and it's worth it for notifications alone. My phone never leaves silent (except for my pager app, which overrides), and I only take it out of my pocket when when there's actually something important, since I can read and dismiss whatever appears on the watch. I also use it to respond to multifactor authentication prompts.

Rolex Daytona, Panda

For the last few years I had a Fitbit Inspire HR, which was the cheapest Fitbit with heart rate monitor for sleep tracking. It was my first experience with any of that health tracking stuff, and now that I’ve experienced it, I know it’s maybe a cool gimmick but not something I genuinely care about for future purchases.

I’ve now got the watch I was dreaming about for a few years, the Slow Round — a watch that has only a single hand and a 24h face, so while it doesn’t offer readable precision down to seconds, it gives a tangible sense of how much of the day has passed at a glance, and with a moment of figuring it out, I can regularly get an estimate of the time within a minute or two.

It’s got a quartz movement so while it’s not super easy to read precisely, it will hold almost perfect time for far longer than I need — I’ll be changing it twice a year to adjust for daylight savings anyway, and I’d be surprised if it loses more than a few seconds over that amount of time. It’s also waterproof to 100m so it can survive a lot deeper than I can.

For years I was wearing a G-Shock GW-M5610-1B but for the past 6 months I've been wearing a Bangle.js 2. It's an open-source hackable smart watch that is programmed in JavaScript. Being open-source was a huge selling point, but it is also privacy respecting, has a pretty decent battery life, and an always on e-ink screen which were necessities for me to switch to a smart watch.

For a long time I wore (and still own) a Seiko 5 automatic winding mechanical watch (https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK809-Automatic-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B002SSUQFG), but my wife bought me an Apple Watch S2 years ago and I later gave it to my daughter and replaced it with a S6 (huge jump in usefulness), so it's rare that I wear the Seiko anymore. I do miss the simplicity of it and love anything mechanical, but I use the Apple watch for tracking outdoor activities, often in the forest off-trails (i.e. foraging) where having a map of where I've been and came from can be very useful, so I just wear the Apple Watch now -- the number one app for me is WorkOutdoors, which tracks on a OSM base map where I've been, shows trails on the map, can import GPX files from AllTrails, can export GPX files for use in updating OSM trail maps, and has way way more data than Apple's activity app.

I've had a Fitbit Sense for about two years, I like it but probably wouldn't recommend it since Google seems intent on killing off the Fitbit line and moving everyone to Wear OS.

Not a "watch guy" but I do like wearing an analog watch. I only own one watch but consider buying a second several times a year. In particular I like different complications and that usually puts the price outside of my price/interest ratio.

So what I wear every day for the past 5-6 years is a Timex Flyback Chronograph. Cream face, silver housing. It's got some nicks and scratches but has been reliable. I have about 10 different straps that I change throughout the year in particular a rainbow strap I wear in June. I like that the second timezone and stopwatch features use the flyback complication. It gives the face a unique style and prompts questions from watch people and non-watch people alike.

Casio Pro Trek PRW-50FC-1ER. It’s simple, yet functional. I’ll never have to change the battery and it basically looks brand new after 3 years of daily wear. I love it. Definitely check out Pro Trek watches if you want an unbreakable dumb watch.

Casio G-Shock GBA-800. It's pretty much the perfect watch for me. I don't really want a smart watch, but it still has a timer, step tracker and can sync to my phone if I tell it to. When I travel, I can sync the watch to my phone and the hands will adjust to local time while the digital display will show my home timezone. Battery lasts about 2 years and is just a standard button battery. It's the perfect balance between a smart and dumb watch for me, and since it's a G-Shock, it's pretty much indestructible under normal everyday rugged use.

I was gifted a Chopard Mille Miglia classic sixteen years ago and that’s the only watch i worn until a few years ago after the rubber band got torn again. Wish it had a stainless steel band from the beginning and i can’t justify buying such a band now because the original costs a thousand or something like that, and I’m not even sure if it would fit the watch.

For the past several years I’ve been wearing my second Apple Watch. Second because someone else broke the screen on my first one. I like it for the fact that i don’t have to pull out the phone out of my pocket to answer calls and how it wakes me up in the morning due to the sleep settings i set up. Otherwise i use them as a normal watch only, but wish i had a chance to use my chopard instead, as i like it a lot. I would still keep the Apple Watch for sleeping at least.

Seiko Presage SRPB03J1 and an Apple Watch SE (2nd generation). What I wear depends on what I think the day's gonna go like, but I usually end up wearing the latter. That's not to say I'm happy with the Apple Watch, but it's got an expiry date unlike my Seiko, so I'm trying to make the best of it while it lasts.

Was a garmin vivosmart 4 or whatever. I liked that it was a very small profile but still synced with my phone. As they never really made a new one that fit my needs, I just dove into the apple watch as I have an iphone, and it does the job.

That said, smart watch aside, my main watch is usually a Bulova Accutron ii. As I mentioned in another topic im trying to find a much older spaceview accutron for someone, but while doing so saw that they had this available at a price point I could afford as a once a year thing. I find most watch designs so terribly bland and boring, or if they aren't, disgustingly expensive and far outside my range. This happened to be both in my range and really unique looking, so it's one of my favorites.

Others:
Outside of that, i also wore this cheap "binary" watch https://www.amazon.com/Binary-Fashion-Led-Watch-Japanese/dp/B00AQE56FY . I frankly love the idea, its just unfortunately cheap as hell and of course has died over time. I can afford to buy another, but I'd love to somehow find a higher quality one.

Ive got a nixie tube watch from a kickstarter or some similar crowd funding campaign, which is always fun/eye catching.

Finally a few cheap skeleton automatic watches because I like the aesthetic.

I have a 60+ year old watch branded "Pontiac" (completely unrelated to the car company afaik) from my great Opa. I never knew him, I was given it by my Opa. It's a steel case and bracelet, good condition. The case is rounded square. I had it serviced a few years back when it was given to me. It works well and the repairman said it has a 60 to 70 year old Omega movement in it. It was pretty cool to hear about the movement but I don't care about resale value (which I'm still assuming is low or non-existent), it's a cool watch with a cool story for me. It keeps great time.

I wear either a Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic with a Tiffany blue face, or one of my three manual Soviet watches (original movement, rerpro faces); A Raketa Copernicus, and Raketa Big 0 with a red face, and a Pobeda Shturmanskiye with a black face (this one is a little worse for wear and is a bit too inaccurate and likes to stop of its own accord).
I may replace the Pobeda at some point, but I'll probably go for a vintage Seiko first.

A relatively cheap Garmin Forerunner 55 I got on sale. I mostly got it because of the health metrics, I prefer digital watches to analog and due to the display used, it lasts easily for a week due to the display type used (transflective Memory-in-pixel).

Before that I had a Fossil wearOS watch. Where I basically ended up turning of all notifications and stuff as that just annoyed me. Together with the short battery life and few other things it just wasn't the watch for me.

I rock a LIP Himalaya 40 mm automatic, a simple yet elegant little watch from a historic French manufacturer.
Daily is an exaggeration though, as a metal worker I have to leave it for most of the week unfortunately.

I had a Fitbit Charge 2 in late 2018 that I had to replace the band on every 6 months on. In 2020 I wanted a few more features for exercise, mainly VO2 max, so I bought a Garmin vivosport (not sure which generation. I'm pretty cheap so it was provably whatever the cheaper was at the time).

I haven't worn a watch since 2022.

The Garmin worked well for me for 2 years, but eventually the band broke and I don't find a watch all that useful for me. Also I didn't really need the VO2 max feature because the only thing that really mattered was continuing to stay active 3+ days a week. I didn't really need any of the other features either, including telling time or notifications. I'm usually on my phone, work laptop, or work desktop, so I have access to all of those anyways. At best a watch is just duplication of information I already am aware of. For telling time, if I'm not at work I don't need down to the minute knowledge. Just knowing "it's probably 15 after 3" is good enough, and if things require knowing the exact minute I can check my phone, ask someone around me, or use any of the clocks that are around in my physical environment (unless I'm in my kitchen, because I haven't replaced the battery in the analog clock and it's been stuck on 9:37 for the last 6 months...)

In all, I wouldn't say I'm happier "with" vs "without" a watch. But it's one less thing I have to think about, but everything else is so chaotic anyways to having one less thing in the stack of shit to be concerned about is a welcome change (for me. I'm not advocating for everyone to get rid of their watches. I need someone around to tell me what time it is)

Timex weekender.

I like watches, I think they look nice, but I think mechanical movements in 2024 are ridiculous. They're insanely expensive, unreliable, and bad at the literal singular practical function a watch is supposed to do: telling time.

I understand that old mechanical watches are beautiful relics of a bygone era, and if I owned one, I would cherish it, but I'd never wear it on a daily basis, and I'd especially never buy a new one.

I love my watch for what it does and how it looks, and I love it even more for what it doesn't do: show me yet more annoying notifications that are even harder to ignore than the ones my phone sends me. I can't see myself ever buying either a mechanical watch or a smart watch. A nice looking digital or analog quartz watch is likely all I'll ever own.

I'm wearing Farr + Swit Bubblegum right now. I'm a sucker for vaporwave so that's why. Other than that my current rotation is my Sneaker Freaker x G-Shock DW-5700SF-1 and Timex Waterbury Dive Chronograph

I’ve worn a Bertucci A2-S field watch daily for nearly six years. It has been virtually the only item of my every-day-carry that hasn’t changed. I’ve worn it in tons of conditions and environments and it’s still ticking fine. New battery every two years on the dot and I continue to beat the heck out of it.

However, I am seriously eyeing the series 9 Apple Watches for the potential of not having my phone on me while still having access to reminders, timers, and time-sensitive notifications (plus health and sleep tracking).

I bought a Galaxy Watch 5 last Fall though I don't use the advanced features as much as I thought I would. I like it for the most part although sometimes it does weird/unexpected things, like when I have Google Maps going on my phone sometimes it will display the directions on my watch too and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why it does this or how to change it (I'd prefer to disable this personally).

The watch I'm currently wearing is a Nixon Rerun. I got it for my 30th birthday because I liked the way it looks and also the fact that it was an all-metal digital dumbwatch that was neither to small nor too chunky. I've only been using it for just under a month, but so far I like it quite a lot. In addition to the time, it also gives me both the date and the day of the week. It also has the option to set a time for a second time zone, as well as having both a timer and alarm functions, though I have yet to make use of these. It also wasn't crazily expensive, which is quite nice.

One thing I noticed when I first started wearing it was that when it slid up and down my wrist, it would often catch onto the hairs on my arm, which was quite unpleasant. It seems to have mostly stopped doing this, probably because those hairs are worn down now.

I've been using the Withings Scanwatch for less than a year. I chose this watch for the look first and for its 'smart' features second. It does track my sport sessions okay and count my daily steps with a battery that last for around 20 days.

I've heard horror story regarding the watch durability (often broken after the warranty period), but I'm happy with it for now, and hopefully it will last with good care :)

Currently, a Garmin Venu 2S that I bought myself as an early birthday gift. I got into running again and have been running regularly for over 2 months now, and I wanted more fitness tracking but not a ton of bells and whistles.

Before, I wore a Cluse CL30057 for spring/summer (very cheap but also fun and trendy, and surprisingly reliable) and a Skagen SKW2490 for autumn/winter (simple but elegant enough for work etc.).

I've been wearing the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Black Cream for over two years now. I originally couldn't afford to order it with the beads-of-rice bracelet, so I just opted for the silicone/rubber tropic strap (which started to fall apart after about a year and a half, despite me occasionally swapping it out with NATO straps).
I ordered the 'official' branded bracelet from Baltic on the two year anniversary of me receiving the watch (I'm sentimental) and love it. During the warmer months I prefer my mustard-yellow or sky-blue NATO.
