Integrated bracelet double standard.

I always find it funny when folks go gaga over and integrated bracelet but hate on another brand for using an odd numbered lug width. The integrated bracelet almost prohibits changing straps and limited choices. You can't have an integrated bracelet on a nato. But you can find a 19mm nato if you look.

Both are annoying, but the integrated bracelet is just more annoying and potentially a cash grab.

And I understand the aesthetics of integration, but I don't think you achieve something that is truly impossible with a non integrated bracelet. Just seems like a double standard.

To be clear, I don't like either, and I do like many watches with integrated bracelet, but mostly in spite of that feature as opposed to because of it.

Yeah, it doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to design an integrated watch with 20mm spacing and an end link that moves down instead of sticking out straight from the case.

Yup, exactly my thoughts!
