For a rally style the Di-Modell Rallye is very nice. Holbens has it.

I’ve been double-wristing with an Apple watch on my right for about a year. I don’t glance at it for time but very often for alerts, etc. And all the tracking. No issues wearing both since I’m honest with myself that wearing a wristwatch is an emotional decision at this point. 😛 

But yeah, I wouldn’t get anything from the legacy brands - they simply don’t have any incentive to support the software long-term. Apple or google. Or the few active-type brands.

My KS didn’t come with a bracelet and the correct one isn’t easy to find (and honestly, the end links don’t look that well fitted anyway). I didn’t wear it very much on dressy straps when I got it. Then, found this vintage Bambi bracelet from the same era, and the flat center links I think match the polished surfaces of the watch pretty well. With the bracelet on its much more sporty, I wear it all the time.

How about the Bathyscaphe?

Precious metal options covered as well. In contrast to the regular FF it’s certainly more dressy.
