Re: Uncomfortable engraving
Hi Palstek, (my Extreme says hi too!)
Mine fits tight on one hole and just a tad lose on the next, I too end up with an embossed wrist if its on 'tight' but I'm really comfortable with that slightly looser fit.

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
I'd suggest a NATO or Zulu strap - the strap runs across the case back (between your skin and the case back). Or as someone else mentioned try putting a bandaid on the case back.

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
I cant say why I do it, but it doesn't cause me any problems! I like it, I love that the watch doesn't move at all and that I can always feel exactly where it is - helps me avoid bumps and scrapes I think, perhaps...Hughly 741 wrote:You must completely loose blood flow on warm days...I guess listening it by a notch is out of the question for you?Daemon wrote:Uh.

As can be seen, there is actually a bit of space between the strap and my wrist...

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
Actually it almost looks too loose - perhaps tighten it and ensure the watch head is central on your wrist?Palstek wrote:Pictures:

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
Good Lord! It looks like a rave wrist stamp!!
That can't be good for you. Did you find yourself dropping the cutlery from the lack of blood to the hand? :D:shock:

Hee Hee To be fair with my skin I only have to rest my arm on anything for a short period of time and I am left with an indent for some time after

Uncomfortable engraving
Yeah, I agree with Downer, looks too loose - the watch is doing what is only natural in that instance and rotating 'round your wrist. It's sitting on the wrist bone which is going to cause some aggravation. I'd be wearing it at least 1 notch tighter so that it sits centred on your wrist.Palstek wrote:Pictures:

I take back my previous suggestion about case back stickers and will now go with finding a very soft, supple strap that will wrap itself around your wrist. I'd be looking at something like a DiModell a Pilot which is supple and will conform to the contours of your wrist, rather than wanting to stay as straight as possible (which is what it looks like the rubber strap is trying to do). Your earlier suggestion of a bracelet may also work if you don't have it adjusted too loosely.

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
I have read of people "boiling" rubber straps to make them more comfortable. I believe the method is to put the strap in a cup or mug so that it is curved and then pour boiling water on it, which apparently causes the strap to retain the curved shape, which in turn makes it more comfortable. Having said that, I've never tried it myself.

Re: Uncomfortable engraving
Thanks for all the replies
I will definetely look into another strap, but I will also keep on wearing the delivered rubber strap a bit more in the hope that it will soften (it's only been three days since I have it) and it has actualy gotten a bit better.
I would in all likelihood go though with a well fitted bracelet since I just like the look of it a lot more
