No sweating, no uncomfortable feeling, no stinking of course: It's breathing perfectly and never gives you a wet skin under.
A cheap W.Jean mesh can do the trick.
Now, I have a very harsh environment at work on oil platforms: Did choose a Zulu to avoid any "cutting" accident (if hard pressed or pulled) with the clasp but they tend to stink after a while and it's irritating.
I may give a try for a mesh and see, after all , I wear constantly thick leather gloves and I'm not working on a drilling deck.
The thing you have to think: If I wear a nato/zulu , even there is no clasp who could cut me, a high velocity rotating tool/machine could rip off my hand because the nylon is going usually all the way around the wrist.
But my mesh would pop out from the lug-pins, loosing the whole watch and the physical damages would be "minor" in the sense that I would still have my hand on my wrist.
Now, we could argue that a 2 pieces nato/zulu would do the trick but it don't breath under so well and it stink after my 12hours daily shift.
Bottom line: I am not allowed to wear rings at work(even under gloves) and if I would work very close to H.velocity rotating tools, I would anyway take off my watch, put it in the pocket to get the job done safely.
Danger is never far away and even a hooked glove/sleeve can be your demise but we have to make some choices as best as we can and stay focused to what we do.
