Yeah, I don't like watches with the stainless steel bands either. I had a Fossil watch that came like that and I only wore it once, and then gave it away to a friend who wanted a watch. I'll take a nylon or leather band that's adjustable any day before a stainless steel one again.

Hahaha. You're not wrong! I thought I misplaced it the one day, and ended up finding it in the wrong drawer thanks to how loud the ticking is. It's definitely useful in that regard :)
