I'm sorry. It looks like garbage. I can't stand 3D printed stuff for anything other than prototypes.

And that armband is definitely a cheap Aliexpress bulk item. Seen a hundred of them.

Bruh a single dude made this over 10 years and shipped this all by himself. And that too on a total budget of 70k. I'm just glad this wasn't just outright abandoned.

I think it's really cool

The band is a NATO strap, pretty standard across the board.

The 3D printed watches are prototypes. Here's what the shipped product looks like: https://twitter.com/BitBangingBytes/status/1695192177310150993

That just looks 3d printed on a textured sheet

It is... Looks like the textured plate from Prusa. Not even the "nicer" satin plate.
