The strap is actually quite high tech and to call it "just a leather strap"

or "satin strap" is a gross understatement.
I have no problem playing tennis or working on my car with mine on; I know several others in here who do as well.

RM10--what does it mean for the RM 05??--your best guess please....
By: PamLover : July 28th, 2006-05:17
I predicted on this forum, shortly after the RM 10 was announced, that RM would discontinue to 05 model. Every once and a while I get it right. What does the decision to discontinue a popular model line so soon mean to existing owners of the 05, in favor ...

1. As far as I know, the RUMOUR that the RM005 will be discontinued is the fact that the market has pushed back on the 005. It was thought that the 005 and 010 would co-exist, but the orders for the 005 are making it uneconomic for the line to continue. H...

Hi Andrew, I think it bears keeping in mind that IF the 005 has been or will be discontinued due to lack of dealer orders that doesn't necessarily reflect a lack of interest from consumers, it just means that the dealers anticipate a lack of interest and/...
RM005 strap

According to all the RM literature the RM005 is a true sport watch...swim, play tennis, ski etc. I get the feeling that most of the owners have not subjected their watches to anything more than a spectator sport? Otherwise, why leather straps??? Should no...
Strap

I find leather straps very uncomfortable once they get all sweaty, stinky, and hard once they dry off. A composite would be more appropriate for this high tech watch, then you could even use them for water sports.
