Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)
Discussion
The SKX009 arrived this morning and I've been wearing it all day. The rubber strap is a bit stiff but that's to be expected on a new watch. I find it very comfortable. One slight surprise though is that the movement is purely automatic. Can't be manually wound. Guess I'll just have to be more active on my holidays!

Well, except, I can’t read the bleedin’ time as it’s too small. I’d have to assume it’s “Pimms o’clock” whenever I looked at it and that would be awesome.

Same strap on the skx007, it lasted ten minutes, didn't wear the watch until the bracelet arrived. I really REALLY did not find it at all comfortable. A friend said to try forming it by dipping it in boiling water to soften it but who has time for that s![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/YqSVrB31.jpg)

Similar experiences here. Have an SKX on the Z22 which was the most rigid, uncomfortable strap ever and I couldn't get the watch head to sit comfortably. Swapped it to a sail cloth. Also have an SRP Turtle which came on the improved Z22 which is softer and has a steel keeper. Again, couldn't get it to sit comfortably on my wrist so sourced the Seiko bracelet for it.

I've been wearing it for two days now on the rubber strap and hardly notice its there. Each to their own I suppose. ![](/inc/images/censored.gif)

I have to say I love that strap, at first I was not sure at all, but now one of the most comfortable straps I have owned. ![](/inc/images/censored.gif)
