I have a question for you ๐Ÿ™

It's about comfort wearing this watch. No question about how comfortable the 5164 is on the wrist, once the strap is cut to your size.

But looking at your outfit in this picture, I wonder how comfortable the watch feels. In my case, I'm sometimes uncomfortable because the Aquanaut doesn't slide easily under the cuff. And if I force it, it gets somehow stuck in there and doesn't slide back out to check the time when needed. If I keep it out, the cuff can push the watch towards my hand and it doesn't feel comfortable either.

No problem at all when wearing loose and soft cuffs or short sleeves.

I'm just too picky maybe, any thoughts from your end?

Thanks in advance.

(A friend just got it). I was very impressed with how comfortable it is. Obviously also has a timeless design.

Interesting! Thought it got discontinued a couple of months ago!

Didnโ€™t know ! When did this happen? Best Gatsby

For me the 5164 is good enough

I donโ€™t really need the moonphase indicator. In fact itโ€™s a hassle for me. When Iโ€™m on biz travel I just wanna tell the time back home and where I am.

+1 !

Lately Iโ€™ve been contemplating trading my 5167a (AD purchased) for a grey 5164a. I love the dial and complication, plus I think the size is better suited for my 18.5cm wrist. Just not sure if I feel the added cost on top of trade is worth it, and I havenโ€™...

Apologies. Only just saw this. The watch is very comfortable. The rubber has significant structure w a steel strip inside it. Think of it more like a cuff vs a watch strap. Now to address your other point of how it fits under a cuff, I do tend to have my ... 

Thanks a lot for your feedback

I think that the enlarged cuff could be the key, or maybe I'm more and more pick over time ๐Ÿ˜… By the way, I already own the watch, for 5 or 6 years now. It is actually my third Aquanaut. I do love the model, but the strap is not my favorite (look is great,...
