It's not about what you have bought, its about what your wearing... hence the "wrist check" in the thread title.
Don't be such a pedant. You might be wearing it now, but the photo doesn't have to be a wrist shot, which are nearly always crap.He's not being a pedant, it's a wrist check thread. As the title says, it's for wrist shots.
It's not really a new concept or one particular to this place.

. . . . I've been wearing my speedie pro on one for the last few weeks, although I've just switched to a black one for that more authentic "around the space suit arm" look. . .
Good choice!Authentic NASA strap has to be velcro fastening I believe... any ideas where to get one?

Prefer mine to stay on the bracelet, but if got a used early version, might just have one of those velcro straps. Let us know how you get on, and if you do buy, then be sure to post a picture.

An excellent ABC watch for MTB and running. The storm alarm is also a great feature. I wear it most days now.
been looking at these...which model is that? any good? accurate?thanks dom
There are 2 problems that come to mind. The first is that the thermometer only reads air temp correctly if you take the watch off, otherwise your body temp fubars the reading.
Second is while I was on a local downhill track the storm alarm sounded, even though is was completely clear sky's all of that day. I can only assume that rapid change of pressure while descending and ascending threw it off.
Other than the downhill track the storm alarms has been spot on.

A wrist shot does not do it much justice - so apologies in advance, but here's a couple of pics I took off the wrist.

Well, thanks to CmdrBond's heads-up, I bought one of the straps from the site he linked above, and very nice it is too. I got the "Speedy-V1" type, which was made to order, bespoke to my exact wrist size, so there are no "wraparound" issues Fits like a glove, and extremely comfortable.

Nice work. Wrist shot please, but I'm seriously tempted just for the fun of it! Am I right in thinking that it is shortened so it'll just go round the wrist once?A wrist shot does not do it much justice - so apologies in advance, but here's a couple of pics I took off the wrist.
