The Ultra-Strap... Band. The Ultra-Band Updates
Followup to this post.
update: I didn't mention that the lugs aren't very well-machined. They don't quite fit perfectly, which makes them an absolute asshole to slide in or out of the watch's grooves. If I had a micrometer, I could identify the problem, but they seem to be (very) slighly conical where a cylinder (if you get my meaning) is required. So pushing or pulling makes them bind. Or perhaps they're just too small. Again: no micrometer.
update ii: I reverted to wearing my regular sports band – the floroelastomer one (a dull gray, because they didn:t have the one I actually wanted in stock the few times I tried buying it). It's just easier. It's a perfect band (aside from the color) and I just prefer it to all the other types. The Uber-strap was annoying to take off before each shower and to keep dry. Never did cycle with it – altho I'll probably put it back on when I do cycle next – once, just to try it the way I intended to.
Unsure if this needed its own post. Still figuring out the formatting I prefer (yes, it's been years – shhh).
