The parts to make the wristband, leather belt, snap kit, spikes, and spare watch strap cost me about $72. Way more than I expected to pay, but I ended up having to buy in bulk, like 40 inches of blank leather belt and a pack of 100 spikes, so I have plenty of spare material left.
The watch itself was a gift, made in 2022 so fairly new, and apparently retails for about $30.
Not exactly my everyday sort of project, but indeed I do wear it every day, and it’s quite comfortable actually, though I did sacrifice the waterproof factor the moment I decided to go with leather.
I did keep the original watch strap, in case I ever decide to change out the watch itself.
Well thank you kindly!
