Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I'm in healthcare and didn't want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It's a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it's an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can't think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that's worth.
Like some others I wasn't keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I'm loving the single pass strap on it!
I do like the looks of this, but I’d swap the strap for a rubber one. Depending on the department, I’d want to make sure I can clean the heck out of it, and I don’t know if I’d trust a fabric strap in that situation. One of the few times I’d reach for a G-Shock over an analog one as well, since the timer function and hourly signal could be quite beneficial.
I'm in the same boat here as well. I do direct patient care and may have to look into some nicer rubber straps, something truly functional. If you have any recs I'm all ears!
Gadgetwraps have some decent inexpensive silicone with no texture and quick release bars. I have a few of their nylon bands and am impressed with the quality, very good. https://www.gadgetwraps.com/
