Re: Bond SMP Weight
In Response To: Re: Bond SMP Weight ()

: Doesn't bother me at all--and I've owned mine
: for over 3 1/2 years! I have slender wrists,
: so you'd think I'd be the first to object to
: a heavy watch like this knocking around on
: my wrist. But the bracelet design is superb
: for handling the weight comfortably.

: When you say it bothers you, have you worn the
: watch for any duration of time? Or are you
: judging it by a few minutes wearing in a
: store? Like many things, it may seem very
: different at first. But once you get used to
: it after a day or two, you may think
: yourself silly for fretting so in the store
: over it.

I've had the watch for over a year now. Plus, I'm a big guy (6" 9", 240 lbs.) so you'd think it wouldn't bother me. I think I might try a strap that I can adjust to compensate for wrist swelling during weather changes. Any reco's on a strap that matches the Bond SMP color. I see in the website that the blue shark skin doesn't match well. Thanks.
