But do these look good to you? If you was sitting next to someone on a bus who was wearing this watch. What do you think it would say about the wearer?

The band is hideous. If you already own it, just get a new band. It will look 100x better.

I am thinking of getting it. Im sad to hear you think it looks hideous.
The kind of person i could imagine wearing it, are archeologists, history proffesors, adventurers, Museum workers etc. I may be drifting from what people actually think though.

I wouldn't wear it with a suit, but certainly for hiking or other outdoor activities where I need a good, solid watchstrap that won't catch on anything and break. I've actually been looking for a similar strap for my Timex Explorer that I use for just those things.

With dress clothes, wear a dress watch.

You just described Indiana Jones. I don't think he would wear it either.

That he has his time machine setting off by about forty years. That is exactly the kind of thing I wore in high school.
