My advice would be to go with a black NATO strap. I’ve had one on my Casio CA53W-1 for years since the original strap broke. It’s already lasted three times as long as the original did, plus it is a lot more comfortable.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For both native and non-native English speakers: what word or phrase do you find especially difficult to pronounce?
7·23 days agoNative English speaker here. Aside from catching crap for regional accent differences, I didn’t have any noticeable, repeating problems until COVID. I can’t, for the life of me, properly pronounce
comorbidity. Even when I really concentrate on it, it tends to come out ascomorbibity. It really makes me sound stupid as hell.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When you are not employed but need to go to a workshop/conference/public events that require you to lost out your company and title, what do you put on without sounding awkward?
1·4 months agoProbably? But then we’re entering into the land of Effort That Isn’t Fun*. The corpses of too many of my unfinished projects litter its plains.
*For me. I’m not disparaging jigsaws.

14·4 months agoI put down SparkleChicken Heavy Industries, Chief Engineer. We manufacture motorcycle parts and satellite guidance systems.
The SparkleChicken thing existed long before, but I used SCHI so many times that I designed a logo and bought the domain name. Every time I spin up a circuit board for a personal project, I get the logo silk screened on it. Been pretty fun over the years.
That was the one that got me hooked on SMBC.

Thank you! I wish that the picture conveyed the depth of the dial and the way that the hour indicators sparkle. It’s also very legible, which is a huge bonus.
