Hot Take: Strap Monster
Can we please stop saying every watch is a “strap monster”? Almost every steel sport watch looks great on multiple straps. Thanks!

Hot take but 100% accurate
How about bracelet behemoth?
I am with you on this. But, we are tilting at windmills.
Repeat after me: "My grail god tier entry level luxury GADA is a strap monster."
In future I will use "steel sports watch looks great on multiple straps" instead of strap monster to save time. 👍
When we would misbehave as children, Grandma would snap her belt, hold it under our noses, and command us to “Smell the leather.” SHE was a Strap Monster.
Your watch, not so much…

It's a new acronym! "My watch is a GGTELLGADASM" will be the new catch phrase! 🤣
Even moreso when the watch in question has a black dial. By definition every colour goes with black.

So disagree. Pastels look crummy with black. Black dials tend to look paramilitary or dour. Get some flowery or gingham or other breezy strap and a black dial totally doesn't work. Everyone applying the term to a black dialed watch is wrong because these all work fine with white and the like.
What’s a sports watch? Just want to understand the rules 😉
Got it, we'll stick to "Strap Goblin" then.
Strap a holic?
Bracelet beast?
NATO Nautilus?
What's the new term going to be, oh benevolent dictator?

I take the term Strap Monster to refer more to the lug width than anything else. Namely thinking 20mm.
Let's get rid of "God Tier", while we're at it. 🤣
It is actually compulsory for YouTubers to use phrase "without any further adoo" before switching to the close up shots.🙄
Cant stand the term "god tier" either...😱
& TGV with his faux-posh British accent always says "strap Munster" 🤣🤣
