I find silicone straps feel weird for some reason. I don't know why. I prefer cloth or leather. My favorite strap I have is a leather Nato style strap that feels so comfortable.
I have one rubber strap, and I like it. I do prefer leather, or even metal. But on my dive watch, it works well.
I tried to like NATO straps... I just can’t, for some reason. I do keep one watch on a NATO, but more for the fun factor than I because I like how it feels. I call it my “MAGA” watch, cuz it’s a big red/white/blue dial with a red/white/blue strap. I like to see the look on people’s faces when I say I wear it for Trump.
I didn't know much about Momentum, I checked out their website and they have some neat things. I liked the black diver watch with the markers that look like shark teeth. I also like the lume on this field watch.
They have some great watches, and they’re very robust. They are starting to really stray from their diver roots, which isn’t a bad thing. I just hope they retain their quality with their other watches as well.
They’re a popular watch company on the Island, it seems... I think that started with the SCUBA community, at least that’s how I first heard of them. They’ve been around for 40 years, I think I’ve read... so they’re not just some kickstarter company that will dissapear.
I own 2 Momentum’s (soon 3). Their field watch (Flatline) is my most worn watch, just because I can wear it during any activity without worrying about it. It’s very sturdy.
I like the colors on that! When I was ordering my Fossils, I thought about getting this one instead of the Pepsi, but it cost $50 more. I love the orange chapter ring against the blue dial.

I like the splash of colour too. The metal bracelet is great; comfortable and stylish with a mix of brushed and polished steel. It’s a GMT watch, so has a 4th hand that follows the 24 hour bezel set to whatever time zone you want. If I ever leave my time zone again, it will come in handy!
