EDIT In addition tot he strap reeking of industrial rubber waste, the watch was a bust. It felt clunky and cheap, the lume wasn't half as bright as I anticipated in the photos. The movement looks garbage and I was unimpressed with every aspect about it. And I own another Armourlite watch, and I love it. This watch failed to meet any of its marks. If I had the option I'd have returned it immediately.
The rubber strap reeks of industrial strength leather. It was so bad I could smell it in the packaging before I ever opened it. I bought the watch to use the rubber strap, not the metal. Massdrop won't help me out. Their customer service is garbage. They offered me a $20 coupon and nothing more. Just stay away from this watch
karl1569This review isn’t really that helpful for people that want to know about the watch or for the company that makes it. It seems like you’re just upset about the smell of rubber, which can be strong.
