Stumbled upon your channel a while back and just wanted to say thanks for all the awesome content! I’ve learned so many fascinating things! 🙂 

commented on Woes of fitness trackers ·

I’ve been using my Oura ring for fitness and sleep tracking for the last couple of years, after moving off of watch-style fitness trackers, and that’s provided the perfect balance for me.

I get most of my Perlons from Wrist Candy Watch Club and Cheapest Nato Straps, however, you've had less issues with Natos in the past, as far as comfort, places like Clockwork Synergy make some nice Nato-style Perlon straps that are solid quality and worth trying. :)

Two favorites.

commented on What are you wearing when outside is freezing? ·

I’m usually wearing NATOs or leather as well. Where I live, Winter is the only month I can comfortably wear a leather strap without it getting super sweaty when I venture out. 

Summer, I’m all about Perlon and the occasional rubber strap, depending on the watch.

commented on More Casios for small wrists to add to my collection ·

I have 6.25 inch wrists, so I feel ya! Seconding the A161! My favorite Casio of all time. I recently picked up an A171WE and, other than the not-so-great backlight, I love it. It’s also a strap monster (pictured below on a leather strap from WatchGecko). I believe @benswatchclub has a really solid review on it as well on his channel.(Image failed to load!)

Yep! 🙂 Wrist Candy Watch Club Perlon strap (the one I have it on is also from them). Urban Gentry logo engraved on the back.
