Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
I have heard this from several folks, and I think you're absolutely right. I pushed some buttons tonight, and I went with the Invicta and some NATO straps. I'll be back with pics when everything arrives. In true "Acquisition Disorder" fashion (I guess it's called WAD....honestly, there has to be a better acronym, it's definitely not as cool sounding as RAD), I'm already sort of browsing around for another one, you know, just in case this isn't THE one.Get a NATO or ZULU strap. Since they're cloth, they won't feel hot during summer nor cold in winter. Best of all, they're cheap and can be washed. You'll appreciate the latter when you start to perspire (and given your line of work, you're all but guaranteed to do so). Silicon and rubber straps straps will be a tad bit more "sticky" and less breathable. Metal bracelets will be even worse (especially in the summer). Sure, you can probably adapt to them, but why bother? Get some NATOs or ZULUs and enjoy changing up how your watch looks every now and again.
Oh, to make changing the bracelet easier, get yourself a good springbar tool.
