Thanks to cell phone, fashion is the only reason most folk need a watch. So I say wear one that actually looks interesting. I like Movado.

I'd go with the black nylon/cloth. You have a good watch, now make it versatile.

Well the actual responses are about as varied as my thoughts on them. Was just seeing about any type of consensus to help me out.

Stick with the SS bracelet. Not my idea of a good professional sports watch, but it looks well made.

ETA: Titanium bracelet. After that, go with the black canvas.

First of all, you're lying. We all make judgments about people based on how they present themselves. Hell, the very fact that you condemn people who are into fashion is evidence of that.

1. Watches are an acceptable aesthetic accessory for otherwise conservative or reserved professionals.
2. Some of us really, really like being able to discreetly keep close track of time.
3. Some of us can't walk around with phones in our pocket.

Yeah I think I may be leaning that way. Never had a canvas watch strap but seems more functional if doing things outside/camping or whatever. Titanium would be my go to for professional etc.

No they aren't. I can quickly tell time and they can make an outfit.

I think you should buy a sports band, like the blue rubber, and a band for more formal occasions, black leather with black stitching. I'm not a bracelet guy, and I'd probably look for better options than the ones styled for this watch by the manufacturer.

Watch nerd checking in. Has Broke been here yet? I believe he is a big Breitling dork.

I always like the silicone bands. Titanium first then silicone. Does that watch have any water resistance and do you plan on using that feature? If so silicone or rubber. If not that last lic was nice as well. Believe is was a canvas band? But canvas gets ripe over time. Especially if swimming with it.

After the Breitling provided bands there is no sense to spend more than $40 on a band. There are tons of people out there making quality replacements. It's not going to say Breitling on it but will be very nice. Just have to know the width of band and lugs. And it needs to be easy access.

See if they have a chain for it to convert it into a pocket watch. That's the best place for it.
