That looks like really good quality leather with a thickness that matches the watch. Post pics and review when you get it. Cheers.

I wear my Ultra with either a suit or sport coat 2-3 days a week, and love it. I mean these days guys are wearing tennis shoes with suits for Christ sake!

I've collected and worn many watches over the years, ranging from dressy watches to inexpensive G-Shocks and sport watches of different price ranges.
If someone wants to wear a watch to convey status, then I have no comment.
But if the question is what "looks" appropriate with a suit, then in my opinion, a watch that can give you health metrics, including fast and irregular heart rate is always appropriate. These watches did not exist when the fashion was the only consideration.

You'd never have a successful business meeting though right? I mean right away when you present contracts for signing they'd say "Not with that watch!!"
Hey @CyberDavis - you have any idea what size wrist the band fits? i asked a question on their site when I saw this and haven't heard back. Seems you can state you need a certain size but it's just weird to me they don't say.
Thanks!

Good question, I’ll try to remember to post some sizing info when it arrives.
I appreciate everything is subjective but I don’t consider either of these to be great watches to wear with a suit. I also appreciate that high price tags make people believe they are, and for many they are. I think it depends what you’re looking for. With these at least it says to me, look - I have an expensive watch I want you to see it. I’m not sure the Apple Watch ultra gets that sort of response from the small percentage of people who would give it to these two.
They’re nice watches, please don’t think I dislike them, I just think they’re business casual, not formal - and don’t buy into price changing it
Again, all subjective. I’m debating the same thing as I bought a ss s8 - and I barely go into an office, but I want to wear an Apple Watch when I do and I’m not sure the ultra works for that, even as a senior technologist - but this may also boil down to living in London
Do you typically wear your watch that low down? Surely that's uncomfortable, in addition to being unfashionable (historically)
Comfort is personal and fashion is bullcrap. Wear your watch the way that works for you!
Seriously. if you're wearing brown shoes with a navy suit then, "the Establishment", could care less what kind watch you're wearing (lol). You're a rebel in their eyes - so prove them right! Embrace it.
I too like wearing a watch so I can get a full rotation of the hand. Wearing a watch too low on the wrist prevents one a full range of motion with the hand and can cause pain with sudden movement. I suppose this is part of the problem with wearing such a large watch with a shirt cuff -- it's hard to get it to slide easily and fully under the cuff. But, ultimately, it is a personal choice.
LOL. I feel the same way about brown shoes and navy suits (especially dark navy) but, alas, modern fashion does not seem to agree. I cannot fathom how this became a thing.
I don't think it is a code word or that this thread has revealed that fashion is about judging people. Isn't that the point of fashion?
Fashion is a code word for selling more ****. This year's lapel is 1/8" wider, need a whole new wardrobe.
Ever watch a "fashion" event. They show them on the news/TV all the time. The crap models wear isn't anything normal people would want to wear. Heck - diamonds are the best story of all. DeBeers was brilliant for what they've done with the price of diamonds over time.
Know where "Don't wear white after Labor Day" came from? Go read about it - interesting stories out there.
In some circles, it does matter what you wear and when you wear them. Look at how stringent the crown is in the U.K.

I wear navy trousers and brown brogues nearly everyday to work. I had no idea some people didn’t agree with it lol.
