OMG. I f***ing hate it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was really excited to finally try out a NASA themed watch with this silicone strap I got for 20 bucks on Amazon.

But in real life if looks so much worst than the computer generated image on Amazon.

The colors are dull and the material is slightly see through so the orange is showing through the white a little.

And the silicone is so uncomfortable. Unlike the smooth FKM rubber it sticks to the skin and it's just nasty feeling.

By the way - rubber I hardly know her - just in case you were wondering.

Also the white strap doesn't fit the dark dial like I was hoping. I might have to go for a nice dark orange one to get the space suit feeling I'm looking for.

I actually had a fabric one last year but I didn't think about it at the time. I think one of my cats took it. Maybe they are planning something that I'm not aware of. ๐Ÿค”

Yeah and honestly it's really weird how she keeps a bunch of blueprints and tools under the cat bed. ๐Ÿค”

I also sometimes have deception with some of the strap I buy on Aliexpress. But generaly for the little price I didn't complain. Of course here for 20 bucks you can be really desapointed.

That's not even the same watch.

It's got a nice creamsicle look to it. How is it uncomfortable? If sharp edges, use the kitchen sponge scrubber on it. $20 is a lot. I'd pay maybe, maybe half that.

Yeah I've got an issue with getting anything from there to actually reach my house. The local post office is run by what I can only assume is the Mafia.

Thanks but it's gonna go back to Amazon.

The silicone is just sticky and horrible.

I get my silicone straps from our local e-commerce platform similar to AliExpress. I've only paid $2-5, and have had no problems with the color or quality. Only once was the color of a NATO strap I ordered far from the one as advertised.

Yeah Amazon is super expensive for small stuff.

Even the cat looks unimpressed

"I think one of my cats took it." Your spring bar tools's not missing too, is it?
