Mine says hi

We don’t see the leather strap that often on the forum. Doesn’t mean people don’t wear it haha.

The strap I used most of all 3 is indeed the rubber strap.


I actually like the leather strap a lot better then the rubber, there is very simple reason for mostly wearing rubber strap (imagine how weird this sentence would read if you delete the last word “strap”):

And that’s our climate. I live in Dubai, summertime day temperatures 50 or more, at night it cools down to a comfortable 40 but humidity goes up to 70-80%.

Or take today 27 November the high was 29 and right now at 19.00 hrs (7 pm for our US friends) it’s still 26. Low temp tonight will be 23.

Wearing leather strap in such a climate (especially outdoors and isn’t the OS designed to be outside) is killing and will reduce strap life span by 50%. And as you know these things don’t come cheap

Keep those summer temperatures in mind and imaging wearing the metal strap with 50 degrees. The official temp is measured in shadow at 1 meter above ground
The real temperature on the street in between a forest of skyscrapers and tarmac roads is much higher. Highest I’ve ever seen was 64 (to avoid confusion I’m talking centigrade)

If you wear the metal strap it will burn your skin I’m not kidding

And that’s why daytime I wear rubber strap evening if indoors leather my metal strap is virtually unused in the box
