That’s funny, I was just looking at a watch yesterday with a similar date display and wondering why on earth they’d do that, but this makes a lot of sense.

I do get what you’re saying. And if you asked me a few months ago what I thought about a brand called “Citizen” I would probably have not thought much of it, to be honest.

But having learned about them through reviews and recommendations, and having just bought one myself, I actually kind of like it. It doesn’t feel forced or gimmicky. Kind of makes me respect them more that they don’t try to “sound fancy” but they just make good value watches and the quality-for-price value is their selling point.

Yeah I fully agree, I think that with this particular watch the leather strap would draw too much attention to itself and a canvas/nato is the way to go.
