It's not quite easy getting a photo while not only wearing it, but also showing the front plus a bit of the backside of the watchband at the same time. It's a snap-on design, where I spent like a week shaping and sizing the leather to my wrist, including water shrink shaping and sizing, before considering it properly finished.

Do you find it sized differently during the day?

I find I have to have my watch a bit tighter in the morning then by late morning my wrist is tight against the strap and I have to loosen it a notch.

This might be annoying on a strap that isn't as adjustable.

Good question ๐Ÿ‘

For me, the size doesn't change significantly enough to make a difference, the margin of error is perfect for me.

The only real factor that might start bothering me every few days to a week or so might be a mild itch on my wrist, but that's easily cleaned with isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

I lined the inside of it with a section of bicycle inner tube..
