Integrated?
Would you consider this an integrated sports watch being that it can also be fitted with rubber and leather? Or ISW can only be considered a model that can ONLY e worn on that metal bracelet and that's it?

It’s still a watch with that style just like having an AP Royal Oak and a Tissot PRX on rubber.

Thnx! I was trying to remember if RO or Nautilus actually go on rubber but wasn't sure
Can you fit a regular 3rd party strap onto it?
To me integrated means that the attachment point of the bracelet is not standard. Like it is on the royal oak or the ingenieur. There are leather and rubber straps for those but they have a specific geometry and only fit specific references.
Basically, if it has any kind of lugs to attach a regular strap via a spring bar, I do not consider it integrated.

No they all - its rubber and leather straps - have special fitments to attach to the case. And for the bracelet to attach the way Zenith meant it, you need to use special end links.

Then I'd say it's a properly integrated watch
I think the dial is a bit hard to read but I like the style for sure.
Interesting questions if it's still integrated but detachable that would put great fitting bracelets in the same category or in process of checking how fitted to be classed as integrated because logically there all integrated in there aren't they might not be flush or in different ways but if there was no integration there would be no contention,so I would say yes definitely and nice watch 😂👌
Love this!

Thank you!
It's clearly designed to appear fully integrated, I think it counts. Honestly it's a step up from "true" integrated because you can swap it into other straps and get a lot more usage out of it. It's a killer piece either way but in my mind I'd classify it with other integrated sports watches

💯 Agree. Super logical and thought thru response!
