i am not a watch wearer. i use this if I cannot be on my phone to check the time. I bought the white color. after several use, The straps have discolored and have darkened enough to be noticeable. I often wear it at work and i have long dark sleeves on. It may have touched my sleeves enough to have the pigment be absorbed by the straps so now its dark. I still like it but just can't wear it for nice events... its relegated to rugged outdoor activity.
