commented on If you could wear one size of watch for the rest of your life, which size would you choose? ·

I have big wrists, I find 42 is really good, however I can wear much larger watches without difficulty but I find 42 is nice and comfortable without being at all intrusive.

Hear me out, the stock rubber strap for this watch sucks.. sorry but I hate it,

However the rubber strap (also 22mm) for the Casio AMW320R is actually much more compliant (at least mine is)... and I would probably put my SKX on one of these Casio straps if I decided to give the rubber strap a go again. $13~ (2~3weeks wait however) Looked on amazon but good luck finding an actual casio one?

I just replaced the movement on my broken SKX009 today..with a NH36, this was my 1st watch I bought getting into this. Glad to have it running again.
