Cool watch. Bracelet is hot garbage

Saw this on a flash sale on Amazon. It was dirt cheap. So I shouldn't expect more from the bracelet. Anyone ever switch this out with anything else? The bracelet is hot garbage. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

It looks nice in the photo, what's wrong with it (beyond the fact that it's a pretty cheap watch so the bracelet is going to be cheap).

From personal experience they can be a bit fiddly, and pull the arm hairs.

Still about 50x better than the Casio ones, at least feel more solid.

Love Armitron personally, I've been wanting a Rubik for a while

Hair pulling is no bueno. I specifically choose my Casio a159wa because reviews said it was the least hair pulling in that style.

I have two, and even with a teeny amount of arm pulling, take them over the Casio cheaper metal.

Haven't tried your variant tho.

I ordered this retro bracelet from WatchGecko for my Timex Falcon Eye. But still waiting for arrival. Should also fit the Griffy.

That looks great. Thank you.

Overall, it's just the feel of the bracelet, it's not necessarily a hair puller, it just feels uncomfortable to me. This watch gecko replacement, though it is more expensive than the watch itself, would still be great in place of the original bracelet.

I guess the bracelet is going to be the most intimate part of the watch. As for meโ€ฆitโ€™s comfy and perfectly suited to the zeitgeist of my Griffy. But like a bunching pair of boxersโ€ฆto others it might be a jewel-crunching torture device.
