Play with it regularly, manipulating it with your fingers. Perhaps even add some lubricants.

will that help? or is that just good general advice?

 

P.S. I can now see the flaw with putting up so many dicky threads

No, Dru is correct. Same process as breaking in a new baseball glove. Leather becomes more soft and pliable as you "work" it or wear it.

Here is a good leather softener, you can apply it from the underside of the strap and work it in if you are concerned not to mess with the colour of the strap - not sure it would do any damage though.

PS that looks like a long strap Wat - 8 inch wrist?
