The bracelet on them is a bit of a bummer, yeah, and unfortunately it kind of compromises the whole watch because they changed the 44GS case to accommodate a curved end link. That's with all their "44GS" cases now though.
That's why I want an SBGW047 so badly. The only real modern 44GS.
Couple of really nice looking new GSs in the midsize (36.5mm) pseudo-44GS case -
