My Citizen World Timer 🌍 had a strap upgrade to premium rubber (which is tricky with its 23mm lugs 🙄) in anticipation of overseas business travel ✈️ this coming week, but trip was cancelled last minute 😔... But I'm rocking this baby 😍 today... Even the Starbucks 🧜♀️ checking the Time! (Citizen AT9010-52E) #travel #coffee #rubberstrap

You are the only other person who I've seen own this one, @comptech22. This was my first ever radio-syncing Citizen, änd I still enjoy it from time to time.
Questions: Where did you get the strap? How does it wear & change the watch's looks? Äs you know, the bracelet is heavy büt comfortable.
@Arctic_Circlist_117 I saw similar on AliExpress...but I wanted them fast for the trip, so I ordered from Amazon. Decent prices, especially the Barton Horween Leather, which was a steal on Amazon considering Barton's quality. The Rubber Strap I think Ali had them for around $6-8. Overall, the one I quickly adopted was the Rubber since there is no "break-in" period. It sits great on my tiny 6.5-inch wrist. I love the metal bracelet, but I am on a path of having 3 straps per watch I own to keep things interesting and rotating without buying more watches. The goal on the Citizen was going light for the trip, since you already know how heavy the watch is with the bracelet. The Rubber Strap makes it ULTRA light comparatively, and I feel more connected to it. As a 200M watch, it isn't out of place with the Rubber Strap... Or going in the water/beach. I would encourage you to try both, I am almost certain that it might see more wrist time. I messaged you Amazon links and YouTube refresher videos on setting the watch up (I sometimes have to revisit vids to go over the setup/button configs). Good Luck.
