Get 'em new or vintage, but don’t pay more than $40. Light watch, light band, work great. Kinda easy to scratch though. Nothing a buffer won’t fix, but still.
Casio is always a good bet. Got 3 of 'em and only the chonky one is slightly uncomfortable. But that’s for rough outdoor use where I don’t notice.
Just got this one, and it’s weirdly comfortable, more so than any steel band I’ve ever had. Band was hell to adjust, took me 45-minutes, have tools, not coordinated, YMMV.
Tell me more about what you like! I can help you dial in (heh) a cheap one. No experience with high-end stiff.
White glue and baking soda, you may need a decent amount to spread around. If you glue down some cotton balls below, you can simulate little mounds of snow when you spread the glue+baking soda mix on top
Although it’s a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn’t the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?
Edit: I just thought about it, and what I’ll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink’s handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it’d work outside.
Curious to hear how the experiment turns out, moisture wasn’t a consideration for my application all those years ago. You could be right, but I feel like baking soda with the glue might hold the moisture in
I hadn’t seen that news. I have tons of notes, being a user from way back. Then I stopped - it got so bloated and not easy to use anymore. I’ll go export mine - thanks for posting.

Been wearing watches for a very long time, and I have no real insight. All I can say is that the Apple Watch is extremely comfortable (using the base strap that comes with it—no idea of others). The part that touches you is very smooth. Prior I wore mechanical watches and honestly never paid them much mind. I will say most “men’s” watches are often overly large and heavy. As a man I have never enjoyed that aesthetic and have always opted for smaller watches (Seriously If someone is so insecure about their gender that they need a fucking tuna can strapped to their wrist i don’t know where to begin).
One of my older ones was “WeDontHaveWifi” because people would say “what’s your wifi?” and we would tell them that and sometimes they would say “ohh, ok” and not ask for the password, haha. Password, incidentally, was “whatPassword?”
