·Well obviously every stap leaves an imprint if worn too tight. However this one is different!
In my opinion this strap lacks curvature which e.g. leather normally forms to the shape of the arm after wearing for some time.
After wearing this strap for few weeks it was still perfectly straight and didnt curve around the arm, and consequently too tight on the sides of the arm, (but surely not too tight overall).
I even tried to shape it, by using hot wated. But in the end i didnt like the feel of it.
I have a modern omega ruber strap on my Seamaster now, and it has pre-curved shape, so it hugs perfectly around the wrist without leaving any marks, well worth the money in my opinion.
Is it because the strap is new (and rigid) and needs breaking in? I had an Omega HB-SIA Solar Impluse on the factory rubber strap and that thing was so comfortable. It's super flexible and rests on the wrist in an amazing way. I wonder is that type of flexibility is possible when there's a layer of leather stitched on top of it.
