Alex, if you want the appearance/feel of a leather strap, so be it. Understand though that I don't use a metal band with a clasp, but an expansion band that simply slips right on or off.

As to automatic movement watches, even very inexpensive quartz analog models are significantly more accurate.

I notice that the dial diameters of two models that you mention are significantly different(35 and 43 mm). Generally the best appearance results if the diameter is correlated with wrist diameter. What's yours?
