It's a lot of fabric under the case back. I haven't tried the Garmin yet, though.

Here's a pick of the strap under the case..

Did you settle on the stock strap, Matt? It's a lot of fabric under the case back. I haven't tried the Garmin yet, though.

Stock strap is too small for me.

This strap is from Amazon; not much under the watch.

This is hard not to wear.

But hey Matt let me know and I can try to dig up this old strap for you.

Not sure why, but I ordered a black strap first (from Amazon). https://i.imgur.com/1NGSBnU.jpg I like the strap and decided to add the blue version. https://i.imgur.com/zHseLF8.jpg The straps look pretty similar in certain lighting, but the blue is a great option for the watch. https://i.imgur.com/J...

I wanted to love these (and the 3-hand version) but those hands are too close in size.

I haven't found the hand size to be an issue.

Love it- wish I still had mine…

Thanks; this one is my second.


I should never have sold the first.

Looks good!

I appreciate all the positive comments.


I had to wait for Tom to weigh-in before posting a thank you.

Congrats, Matt. I will make the obligatory recommendation of the Garmin straps. I wear mine exclusively on them and the watch disappears. Cannot be beat for comfort IMO. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09Z2T6VNQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Just arrived, thanks again for the tip. :cheers: htt...

I’ve got a few from there that were around $20 (I got one on sale for $10!). They are great straps with flex and good hole placement and they don’t attract dust or lint like silicone. Here’s a red one I got for $18.

I like that strap; I'll have to check them out.

Doing some presentations this week so I'm "deressing up" with my GMT.

Try not to spend too much time staring down at your watch during the presentation.

First time wearing a velcro strap.





I wonder if the pieces of lint on the Velcro are going to make me wacky.

That certainly is a lot of watches sir

Yep, but I've decided not to let it bother me anymore.

I posted this at WUS, as well.

I was asked to pick my top three; hadn't given it much thought until now.

Guess I'd go with these.

You could try putting the strap on a position that feels loose. Then add self-adhesive moleskin or similar product on the inside of the strap. One or two pieces as needed, to snug it up. You could place it on the casebook of the watch, but that might leave a residue when removed. Hopefully, others h...
