IMO the quality outweighs the cost. A really nice little watch.

FWIW, that strap looks great on it, too
Wonder how many 'Perfect Straps' for this watch I've posted ITT...?
Anyway...
New in today, a sage green, FKM-rubber, curved-end strap which is marketed for one of the variants of the MoonSwatch, which it transpires is a perfect fit for the Damasko, and in my favourite shade of green. £17 on Thiefbay. It's very nicely made, not too thick and pretty supple - without that clammy flabbiness of silicone. It's supplied with a nicely sculpted machined buckle (which I've swapped for a Damasko-branded example), as well as a set of springbars and a strap-changing tool. 20mm lug only.
Rally on my Manometro.
I could never bond with the beige strap that came with it.
Happier now.
Thoughts on this combo….

I had a bracelet (unused) in the box from when I purchased a Monaco but had to send it back because it had ongoing issues which their 'horlogical expert' said was repaired.. and wasn't.
I just twigged that it's the same lug width as my new piece... so on it goes.
I'd prefer curved lug ends... but am wondering how it looks? It was in cloudy plastic and I didn't realise it was shiny in parts too.

Very nice watch but, IMO, that bracelet isn't right for it. I think leather will be hard to beat. Try a Hirsch Heavy Calf to avoid the OEM 'tax'.I had a bracelet (unused) in the box from when I purchased a Monaco but had to send it back because it had ongoing issues which their 'horlogical expert' said was repaired.. and wasn't.
