I find the Speedie pro too big for my liking and always preferred the Reduced. Although I wish its dial layout was closer to the original because it's not as much of a looker despite its better case proportions for smaller wrists.
In a trend where every manufacturer is pushing out smaller sports models in 38-39mm, it boggles my mind that Omega still hasn't made any move to re-introduce a modern version of their 90s midsized Seamaster either. And no bracelet improvements. And no on-the-fly adjustment clasp. 🤷
I like changing straps a lot, especially on my dive watches because you can have so much fun with rubber, sailcloth, NATO, etc. I find hollow end links much easier to take on and off.
Solid end links have no play at all, are much harder to push into the case and increase the risks of accidentally scratching the case, which makes me think twice before swapping to a rubber strap.
