Well it doesn't matter how good and amazing a third party strap is, your brain is simply unable to accept non OEM parts.

Well there is that, but it don't look like that great a fit...

Just noticed this photo on the Monochrome article about the new watches. Hard to see here but if you lighten it up they've put the watch on an alligator strap...

Probably because they were not allowed to cut the rubber on the demo watches they borrow for review?

I think Jim's right. But I also understand why they'd do it - you don't really get that great a feel for how the watch wears if it's sitting loosely on your wrist on a full-length strap or bracelet.

(Except for me. Thanks to my yeti wrists I more or less fit closely into most bracelets 😵‍💫 )

But it just shows, yes you can put a normal strap on it, as long as you don't mind those lugs looking stupid. My guess is the springbar holes are drilled too low - which doesn't matter if you use the proper strap of course.
