Love this and love the fact we share similar strap habits. I applaud @Max and the team for the Zero Pass, but it’s still too much side bulk for me. It’s a personal preference, but if I were to NATO up, that’d be the way to go.
I also have the Zulu diver on a watch…meh. The clasp is thicker than the watch, so it is on the chopping block when I get my new @nickmankeydesigns order in. To me, his design is the most comfortable nylon style strap. Again, all personal preference, but it has the right amount ease and durability,
Also, I will defend to the death the idea that nato straps cause the problem they set out to solve, spring bar failures. Count the number of spring far failure posts, threads, etc where some user said “look it save my watch!” Nope it broke it.
Only when you fall or are hit by car. Unlike a motorcycle that are sending engine vibration to the bars in addition to road feedback, a scooter does not have an engine to generate that level of vibration. Most modern sports watches can handle bikes of all sizes, so e-scooter should not be an issue.
Couple questions;
When you bought the watch did you buy it because you liked it, or were you caught up in fear or missing out or any false sense of hype?
If you liked the watch, why does it matter what others think?
How does the impact of a watch selling out, or not, impact your enjoyment of it?
Most limited release watches take weeks/months to sell out, this is not any different. It is a very nice watch, inline with their ethos and design language at a reasonable price. The question vaguely thrown out there is "would one spend money on this or something else?" I am surprised it is even as high as it is given the varied personal preferences. In reality, I bet 99% of buyers would buy something else with $1500 because there are countless options. It does not mean the one(s) they did not choose are not good, it just means they preferred something different.
Lastly, do not take polls that seriously. Take feedback and go with your intuition.
Collaborating on a design is one thing if you want to support them. Partnering with a popular microbrand to make their watches under a different name would not be producing per se, more private label, but it is fine too, if one likes the look of said brand, have at it. They make a little bit in the process and the microbrand gets another revenue stream.
