Right now I'm in the "Is this something I'm looking at because I think it's cool, or would my wife like it?" stage. She often wears an old black G-Shock of mine that I wish she'd throw away. I've given her a few watches that I chose because I thought they would replace the G-Shock, to no avail. She wears the new watches, but still wears the G-Shock. Maybe she likes black?
Update: I caved in pretty quick and was order #2.

CloacaThanks for adding these pics I was wondwring about the strap because my wife’s wrist is super tiny so it’s been a challenge finding watches for her. Ans since I know better know (ahem) I’ll show her these pics and see what happens.

I posted a couple of wrist-shot photos from a Chinese retailer, and the model seems to have slender wrists, so those photos might help. She's wearing it loose and bangly style, but that's a pretty common style with ladies watches, at least where I live here in Japan. I don't know if the strap size would allow her to tighten it up if she wanted to do that.
One thing is for sure: You're stuck with the stock strap. It uses a proprietary attachement, and aftermarket options are very few and very, very expensive (as in, "just buy another one of the watches rather than replace the strap" expensive).
At any rate, my wife is getting it as a surprise (I don't know better!).

CloacaAh yes proprietary straps. Sounds just like the Momo I tried and used the it’s a bangle line too. The face was just too massive for her but this one seems ok. It’s stealth and tech but also the hands dresses it up a bit too. She has nothing like this and I bet would be a big hit with her colleagues as well. We shall see! Ps. your handle is amusing too lol

PhilTongI just took another look at the 360-degree rollover that I posted a link to above. The band to my eyes looks like it can be tightened to an extremely small circumference, because not only are there a lot of holes in the strap on the top (12) side, there are a bunch of holes on the edges of the strap on the bottom (6) side that seem to allow reposiitoning of the clasp. By maxing the clasp near to the bottom and then clamping it into the band using the hole nearest to the top side, you'd end up with an extremely small circumference, if I'm interpreting things correctly. I think the band would be completely two-layered at that point, which would further reduce the inside circumference.
BTW, my second choice for a handle was Zugunruhe.
Edit: I discovered and embedded a YouTube review of an Oris silicone strap, above
