Default New Michele Deco
P1030715a1.jpg

Okay, so I finally got the Deco with white alligator...thought it would be totally cool for summer. As you can see the watch face takes up the whole top of my wrist. Right now it is fasten tight. However, in the future I want to wear it sort of loose like a bracelet.

So question gals -- will the alligator soften and stay curved so I can loosen it up? Now the alligator band is really stiff and in order for it to curve it will have to bend almost wear the band connects to the watch face.

What do you think?

I have the Mini urban and had an alligator strap and it was REALLLY STIFF, everyone told me over time it would soften, for me it never did and it really bothered my wrist, so i ended up getting a stainless steel band.....

maybe I didnt give it enough time to soften....

ps... love the white though!

I have the stainless too, but would love the white for summer but I have a narrow wrist (like yours and I can't stand having a tight strap. Please let us know if it does soften. I want it to be a bit floppy but not completely turn over. Thanks!

Congrats on your Michele!!!

I have the stainless steel bracelet as well, so that's what I usually wear. I like my watches more loose so I would probably just loosen the strap a little bit.

Beautiful watch!

Thanks gals for the compliments. And winterpearls3 - Glad to hear it will soften. Do you wear yours loose like a bracelet?

Meantime, I just purchased one of these to store it on:

Hopefully, it will speed up the process.
