First impression was that the strap was rigid.  Even having it for twelve months, it is still rigid- maybe b/c it is over 1/8 inch thick.  When I take the watch off, the straps lay straight, barely a hint of conforming to my wrist...  In fact, I recall the strap wanting to unravel out in the beginning.  So if you are hoping for a soft, moldable strap, this is not it.

I bought it for looks/price and it does complement my Timex T series Chronograph at a good value.

If the strap was a little softer, then 5 stars.
