Try Marine Nationale strap, it might be the antidote for your problem. Or wear rubber strap they usually won't get to tight while your wrist expanding.

Apart from some body weight training, I don't do any other sport. But I wear my inexpensive automatic watch with 7s26 in it to do literally anything. Chopping woods, ploughing, doing dishes, etc. Done that for a year. Still running like a champ after a year.

As long I wear it, I guess it runs about a minute late/weekly.

I rarely take my watch off.

Polaris all the wayyyy
