Found this under the Christmas tree - Breitling Avenger Blackbird.
Very nice which strap is it on?

It's the original strap. They describe it as a military style, high-tech fabric anthracite strap.
Thanks I will look into one. Does it have a clasp or a buckle on the bottom? I know Breitling's leather straps can use both so that's why I am asking.

Thank you I intend to! It hasn't left my wrist in the last 3 days so it will be a keeper. Once I pickup another fitness tracker my Apple Watch will live in a drawer.

Just wait until you look at your Breitling (or Fitbit) for the weather. ;)

I do it every time I wear my Seiko... or Rado, or Citizen, or Omega...

If I weren't in England where the weather is predictable that would be a problem. Speaking of Fitbit is Apple ever going to do anything with the Health app to allow the data to be accessed on other devices and online like Fitbit and Garmin can do? That is one of my biggest complaints about the Health app.

There’s an app for that, but I can’t remember its name.

Fitbit data doesn’t contribute to Garmin anyway (or vice versa), does it?

The only app I know of are the 2 versions of Sync Solver. The red icon will sync your Fitbit data to Health and the green icon will sync your Health data to Fitbit. What I would like to see is the Health app sync to iPad and Mac or a website so I can view things on a larger screen. Both Fitbit and Garmin will push the data to other devices if I sign in and both have a website to view the data. I don't know of a way to sync Fitbit and Garmin or vice versa or even Garmin and Health.

Hey watch enthusiasts, i have an Omega Seamaster 300 with a nato strap. I would love to get a different strap for it, preferably leather. However i kind of struggle to shell out the money they want for the original one (see picture) knowing that there is high quality aftermarket ones.. i am also not sure about the shade of brown..

Can you guys recommend a good aftermarket strap brand? Looking for some inspiration :)

I used some Kain Heritage straps on my Seiko and Suunto in the past and thought they were great.

People seem to really like Hirsch straps, but I have no personal experience with that brand.

Go into a good watch store and ask to see what they have and take a look at what you may like.

Hirsch is good, yes. I’ve got one on my vintage Omega.

I second the two posts above: I have also used a Hirsch strap on my Omega Deville.
