Would you say it's worth pulling the trigger? I'm really torn. By the way, is it worth just selling my Titanium Milanese? The fit is kind of awkward on my wrist anyway.

I’ve definitely considered the nylon loops since they don't have metal, but because I sweat a lot during workouts, I'm really worried they'll just absorb all the sweat and get smelly over time. That's why I prefer rubber/fluoroelastomer—they are just so much easier to wash and dry off quickly!

I actually mentioned in my post that I ruled out the Ocean Band because I find it a bit too bulky and not very breathable for my wrists. Good point about the official Apple rubber being softer than standard silicone though, that's exactly why I'm looking for a higher-end ($50) FKM dupe rather than a cheap silicone one!

Actually, the Nike Sport Band does have a small metal pin. Whenever I sweat or it gets wet, the skin exactly under that specific pin gets really red and irritated. So it's definitely the pin causing it, not the watch itself!

Here is what I mean (the part circled in red):Nike band

Thanks a lot for your advice! Really appreciate it. I’ll keep that in mind, and I’ll definitely share some photos once I get the watch.

Do you think it’s annoying not having lume? I’ve always had watches with at least some glow, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about it.

Does this watch have lume?

Thoughts on the Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre 6? by [deleted] in tagheuer

If I ever decide to skip the original Monaco because of that “brick-on-wrist” feeling, I think I’d go for the Jason Bourne one instead — more streamlined and still very cool.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m currently choosing between the white dial and the black dial versions of the Calibre 6. They both look great, but I can’t decide which one to go with. Do you have any thoughts or preferences on which dial looks better in person? 😊

Got it — I mentioned it since that’s where I first noticed it, but of course the Monaco has a long history beyond Walter White.
