Last year, StrapHabit teamed up with the great people at Worn & Wound, BOLDR Supply Company, and Matt Smith-Johnson (a.k.a. Teenage Grandpa) to supply the straps for the BOLDR Conquer LE. It was a very fun project that raised thousands of dollars to fight cancer, so I was really excited that we got the gang back together for 2026.
This year, Matt designed an all-new strap that is available separately, as well as a new version of the Conquer watch (that includes the strap). Matt kindly sent me one of the team's early prototype watches to check out and review.
To pre-order your 2026 BOLDR Conquer now, visit the BOLDR website. $80 from each watch sold will be donated to the campaign.

The watch does include a StrapHabit strap, but StrapHabit did not profit from the arrangement. I will do my best to provide an unbiased review of the watch.
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer 2026 LE Details
The Can't Stop, Won't Stop team is known for wearing bright and colorful cycling kits. While last year's Conquer watch was subdued, the 2026 model is anything but. Yes, the dial and bezel are monochrome, but BOLDR treated each case with hot pink Cerakote.
The pushers, crown, caseback, and bezel ring are black-coated, creating a striking contrast.
While the case is wild, the matte black dial with white lume and silver subdials is all business. The Conquer wordmark is also replaced by the team logo, creating a clean, legible dial with no text. The racing-style minute track remains, sitting inside the internal case surface, which is also pink.
A matte gray 12-hour, 120-click bezel provides rudimentary dual-time tracking.
Wearing the Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer 2026 LE
The new version keeps the 41mm-wide by 12.5mm-thick dimensions and the lightweight titanium construction. Comfort was critical, as the watches were worn during the team's 120-mile ride.
While the earlier Conquer had great legibility, the 2026 version is even better, thanks to its higher-contrast hands and dials.
Thick applications of lume (including on the second hand) also retain good nighttime legibility.
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE 2026 Straps
As mentioned, every Conquer LE includes a StrapHabit 2026 RTCC strap. Its blue and pink colors and graphics coordinate with the team colors. Its nylon pass-through design provides a lightweight feel, while a black buckle and purple hardware give it a distinctive look.
The lug width is 20mm, so you can also swap any of your other favorite straps.
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE 2026 Movement
The 2026 Conquer LE again uses a Seiko meca-quartz chronograph movement. Unlike other quartz chronographs, the meca-quartz has a sweeping second hand and an instant mechanical reset mechanism. It can measure seconds up to 60 minutes and also features a 24-hour indicator. The watch has no date display, offers 3 years of battery life, and is rated at +/- 20 seconds per month.
The movement is again visible, but through a smoked glass transparent caseback. It again features the team’s motto “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.”
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE 2026 Conclusion
I already love my 2025 Conquer, and wear it frequently, but the new version is even cooler. It retains all the good things about the previous model (such as lightweight, rugged titanium construction and great legibility) but gives it a much more distinctive appearance. Plus, it supports a great cause again! To pre-order yours today, visit the BOLDR website.
