I bought this a few weeks ago and it's another great Satellite Wave watch to add to my collection! And I have no problem with the band, it's comfortable and different, for a change.
Band is way too stiff to remotely shape itself to a wrist. Unwearabvle without buying a proper band or bracelet.
I previously owned a Citizen Satellite Wave in Stainless Steel but could not get used to the heavy weight on my wrist. This model is just right and feels great. Best of all, once you initially set it, you will never have to set it again.....
Excellent watch. The only comment I have is that it would be better with a metal band.
