I have a question about straps that you use.

For me the silicone straps that come with the SLA017 and SLA025 are wonderful in that they keep the watch balanced and not top heavy.

I have found that if I use G10 straps, the watches wear top-heavy, and my wrist hurts after a while.

For your pieces, what straps do you use that works best for your wrists?

I don’t swap straps, I just like the SS bracelet my watches come with.

If they aren't the same diameter of the lug holes on your watch you are taking chance with it falling off. Or even wearing out the holes on your case.

Crafter blue straps work well for the MM300s which is basically the same watch. Very comfortable and looks good

I had one on my older MM and it did fit perfect. I just didn't like it.
