I can't wear any watch in the gym.

I'm not a fan of NATOs in general but that doesn't work for me at all. Beautiful watch though.

SD on NATO just doesn’t work for me. Not a fan of nato straps in general but can see them making sense on Subs, GMTs, explorers. SD belongs on bracelet or leather strap as outfitted from the factory.

As many others have said, your watch, and I commend you if you want to take it to the gym. Looks wise, NATO straps have a narrow bandwidth, and any fluted bezel Oyster falls far out of it.

That does not look good. If it was mine it would be on bracelet, I would not put it on Nato.

As for wearing it to the gym...why not? I wear my watch (Explorer or Speedy Pro) when I workout all the time. I only remove it when I do power clean, and only during work set, I don't want the bar to get caught on my wrist if I fail to rack it.

I think a SkyDweller bracelet on a plastic happy face or Mickey Mouse watch goes better with gym shorts.

Looks awesome. I love it and that’s from a fellow skydweller owner.



I wear my rolex/AP/PP to the gym all the time. I’m not leaving it in the car or locker. I’m not a pretty boy either just the safest option.

You do you! Personally it isn't for me. If you like it, rock out with your strap out. I wear my 36 DJ to the gym. Although for full disclosure, I have not quite gotten the courage to wear my 116500LN there just yet much less my grandfathers 6263. To each his own though.

If you like it that way keep it but thi combinations seem not work with a fluted bez watch. Besides, I would never trust any nato strap because I have seen on the forums some guy while playing golf ⛳ lost his watch due to failing nato strap. Luckily, he got back his watch.

Dont like that nato at all - makes watches look cheap. Never understood why ppl why Nato straps makes a $10k look like a $30 watch.

Nah , not really a good look especially on a Nato but that's my opinion . Your obviously not bothered about scratches or dings to the watch if your wearing it to the gym, & good for you , but please just keep it on the original bracelet .

I wouldn’t wear that to the gym. I use an Apple Watch for that purpose. I am not a big fan of NATO straps, but I don’t think your combo looks bad. IMHO, that NATO strap combo would dress it down enough for shorts, but I also believe any sports model doesn’t look terrible worn causally.
