The strap is made from recycled salvaged fishing nets and tries to offer a stable wrist position. However, the strap can be on a shorter side. While the strap may be fine for smaller wrists, it can sometimes be too tight for larger wrists as well. The securing element on the strap can be helpful in such cases. Referencing the hue of the magnificent lemon shark, the bezel dial and the crown have touches of yellow that can surely be a selling point. So, if you want to do good for the oceans, buy this watch.
