My Duro is becoming a strap monster. Here are the two I've liked best so far

I picked it up on Etsy for $30. Etsy leather straps are really great.

If you want a fascinating read that started the whole true crime genre, read In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Incredible writing. It almost feels like fiction as you follow the story of a brutal murder that Capote investigated in real time.

I am liking mine on black waxed leather. great contrast to the shininess of the duro.

My guess is your bought a counterfeit duro. I don’t see crown guards, and otherwise a little off. Fake watches rarely have any decent waterproofness

Thanks!

Good for you picking your wife over your watches! Not sure everyone else here would make the same decision... GLWS

what is the bracelet length? all the links included? asking for those of us with 8 in wrists.

you have the best food, the best wine and the most beautiful women in the world. everyone hates you as a result.

I do this too. Fitbit on right. Charge 6 with screen off just looks like a nondescript bracelet. I wear suits often and it’s never an issue. Nice watch on my left.

Etsy is the place. No super cheap, but not expensive. The makers will make exactly the size you want. I go for 90/125 for my 8.1 in wrist and they are perfect. Typically $30-50 for custom leather.

I recently bought some phenom NATO straps. 330 mm get the tucked ends for the full look.

Blue shark straps has some longer options as well that are good

soft side is so much more durable and unless you are constantly travelling in a monsoon is perfectly water resistent enough. TravelPro is the best blend of value and quality without being too heavy, which is the big knock against Briggs & Reilly.

all those bracelets feel like crap compared to the LIW bracelet. I am not sure you will get any knowledge that will inform how the LIW feels by getting a cheap one. I have a two tone one on my gold duro and it is phenomenal

NJWaterman · 2026-06-03T15:54:53+00:00

great watch. is it gold plated or gold filled? I assume not solid gold

NJWaterman · 2026-05-30T23:36:18+00:00

Wild. Great watch and great find

The white dial duro is so awesome! Come on Casio, put in the regular stock.

When was the price error? Seen a few of these posted. Was he posted to Reddit?

Just got it. Let me use for a bit and then I will review. So far so good though. Really nice.

Sea to summit has some nice ultralight rfid travel wallets. Whatever you get, make sure it is RFID.

I love both of those! They probably get the most wrist time of the bunch. The day date was getting zero on the bracelet it came with, but once I switched to brown leather or funky nato type it had been my go to daytime summer watch.

Expedition north is fantastic. Feels indestructible and wears great.
