That's the main problem with integrated bracelet watches. Finding straps are almost impossible.

This is the primary reason why i don’t really like when a watch company releases a watch that has an integrated bracelet. Anyone that owns a watch from the Oughts can tell you, that unless you know what to do (get a leather strap custome made), you’re SOL. They are a PITA when it comes to long-term ownership, which probably why, so far, both times they have gotten popular in the past they don’t stick around. OP, if you want to change straps and stuff, stay away from this style band on a watch. You will only find straps custome made for a watch if it is super popular—especially among watch enthusiasts. At best, you might be able to find strap adapters that happen to fit this, but don’t count on it.

My Edifice ECB-950DC came on a horrible integrated bracelet so I got past this with a handmade Leather Bund from Etsy & it took this watch to the next level

I own a couple of Edifi (Edifices?) and while the bracelets aren't "high-end", they aren't bad either ... so unless fitment is a problem, stick with the OEM bracelet ... your watch looks great BTW 👍

I didnt own the watch by now. But iam thinking about buying it. I would live to wear it on the braclet as well as on a rubber strap.

It’s “edifices”. Forces latin plurals are for nagging English teachers that don’t understand language, anyways.

I have that exact model and I have to say it’s one of my favorite watches that I currently have. It’s thin, looks super nice, and comfortable.

BUT… finding a rubber strap for it will almost be an impossibility unless you custom made it somehow.

Good thing for me is that I think the bracelet is comfortable and light (which is a plus for me, not a minus… I know many crunchers like to feel the weight on their wrist… which is weird imho).

That’s my experience at least. :)

I am thinking of modifing an exsting rubber strap. But this could also be hard because i would need a strap that is exactly 8mm in hight.

LOL!

My "Edifi vs Edifices" comment was meant as a bit of a joke. My GF is from The Philippines and 'cause English isn't her native tongue, she often asks me questions about grammar and the finer points of of the English language (in her quest to have a better understanding and become more fluent). Now, I am NOT an English Professor, but I am a bit of a "torment" who does enjoy a bit of "word play", so I'll often have some fun with whatever explanation I give to her queries!

I would try Aliexpress for aftermarket rubber straps.
