silicone straps seem to get a lot of hate around here but I personally love it on this watch. I modified an old 22mm silicone strap by cutting off the edges with a razor. And it sits much better on the wrist for me and is able to wrap around a wetsuit. I love the plasticity of silicone straps. Turns this watch into a guy’s watch into a man’s watch.

Guys.
Anyone paired spb143 with blue rubber (waffle for example)?

I'm currently in the market for a black sailcloth strap for my SPB143. It looks like Ritchie ($19.99) at the bottom and Artem ($85.00 ) at top (and sold out).
Looking for any recommendations with "best bang for buck" always being the optimal choice in between those two.

Just figured I’d add that I‘ve worn mine daily for the month of December (on the wrist all day, on the dresser crown up at night) and over the past 23 days it’s gained less than 2 minutes. That is an average of +5 SPD.

While I’d never expect COSC levels of accuracy from this “mid tier” movement, I’m really pleased with the performance I’m seeing so far.
