Hard to decide. There is one designed by Pininfarina with brake cables in the strap but the one I wear the most is this one:

moded with oil filling

Try the watch on a brown strap!
Thanks!

I have a drawer full on nothing but straps and bracelets. Even the canvas strap it comes with is very nice but it is leather lined. I have never found leather to be particularly comfortable. I love the look of leather with just about any watch I just generally find any other option more comfortable and hygienic.

My current favorite is this elastic with it.

This thread actually reminded me I needed to finish going through my G Shocks so I can give the ones I no longer wear to my son since he enjoys them. I had showed him a write up about watches certified for use in space...

Then gave him both a G Shock 5600 and 6900. I still have a modded 5600 I need to give him...
Image
The only two I am keeping are a JDM Foxfire DW5600 just because it was something I had wanted for a long time...

I am keeping the positive display GD350 on the right because it was a gift from my gf. The negative display on the left was the last G Shock I wore before I retired from my previous job. It is going to my son.

Here i though

1) practical durable watch that wasnt like a brick
2) normal proportions that could be worn under a cuff
3) beater, not ostentatious, etc

Then i see this...
