    Damn, you stole my idea (which I stole from them)..

    I backed their kickstarter the first time round and have two of the belts. I’ve wondered if the plastic ratcheting strip could be miniaturised to that degree and still be solid enough to hold a watch in place. As well as micro-adjusting it would also then be possible to make it a bespoke length if you went with a similar system of cutting the end down to suit.

    The kevlar core is to strengthen it, but I've never known a belt to snap (?!) so clearly more of a gimmick.

    I have known lots of leather belts stretch with time though, if the core stops that it might be useful. Anyway, it was the micro adjust (and sizing) feature I thought might be great for a watch strap

    Belts really only stretch of theyre made with crap leather. Somthing properly made would solve the problem and last longer than this would. Gimmick IMO
