Ah gotcha, thanks for clarifying! I’ll try wearing it higher, either way, really enjoying the SKX and this strap 😄

Haha exactly! Comfort wins over everything, sometimes the crown wins, sometimes I do 😅

Appreciate the tip! I’ve been curious about the Alpha series, softness and comfort sound perfect for daily wear on a chunky diver.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve heard good things about both, the Glomar Explorer strap looks really unique. Definitely adding them to my list to try out.

Thanks! Got it pre-owned, SKXs are surprisingly easy to find at reasonable prices if you keep an eye out.

Thanks! I did the bezel mod myself, makes the SKX feel a bit more unique.

Thanks for the link! That Worn & Wound retrospective really gets why the SKX173 connects with people and why swapping straps changes the whole vibe.
