Tried my hand at aging some straps tonight. Easier than I thought.

Very nice. Interested to know how you achieved such a great result.

Started with some light sanding to roughen up/ distress the leather and add contrasting color. Then some bending and twisting to loosen up/ age the leather more. Lastly sanded off the finished edges on the sides. On the wider one, I added a little black dye for more contrast, then rubbed it in/ blended it. Time +/- 15-20 minutes. There are YouTube videos to help those(like me) doing this for the first time.

I love and hate this watch. I love it because of the ceramic and I really hate it because of the ridiculously bad AR.
The AR makes the watch unwearable for me. What a shame.
