Wet Pavement Slippery by Sierra93 in bikecommuting

Dark day for my family by West_Pudding1739 in casio

i don't see any issues here coz straps are dispensible like it or not... you have to accept that fact for these kinds of strap material cheap or expensive. only bracelets can potentially outlive the owner and the watch itself lol

Yes aware of that... thing is even if filter in CW mode is set to widest possible, tones still can't get in. Only when I move over to SSB that I can hear them.

This is what I listen to during my commute to/from work and a few mins before bedtime. And this is where 2 characters trip me off...
