    Barton doesn't sell waxed, had to do it myself. Came out so-so, I can live with it.

    Nice rugged and minimalistic design. Easy to read also.

    Did you try heating the strap with a hairdryer or such after applying the wax? I find it really treats the fabric as it lets the wax penetrate deeper.

    I thought about it but no longer have a heat gun or a hair dryer, so I hand warmed it and went with melted wax. Figured I'd try to heat-treat it a little later on. Should end up having the same or similar result either way.

    Should give you many good years of wear with the wax treatment. Strap looks great with that watch !

    Standard practice is not to wax the inside of the band, right? I don't see it feeling wearable if I do that.

    Thanks. My dad and I have been collecting watches for years although I typically wear a mi band 3 most of the time or a Samsung s2..

    Even better when your Dad is into watches too. Cool hobby to share . How do you like the new tech watches ? Seem to be more of them around now . I'm a very low tech guy these days , as I get older .

    I like the mi band very much because you only have to charge it about once a month which is a lot more convenient than others that are daily. Also I like its features.

    My watch of the day, 2009 Bulova.


    This was my daily watch for years. Never been serviced. Best 275 I've spent on a watch.
