Not a suitable watch for jogging..Too heavy
I am a runner, speaking from experience

If you are not scared the weight will be too much a bracelet, if not rubber, but running with it? I don't think so

Rubber for working out IMO, check out Horus straps

Camo looks great, but I see a lot of parting lines in the rubber. Do you have one?

I'm a former international competitive ultra marathon runner and I would argue it's not a problem. Take the ambit3 peak sapphire which is my current running watch, it weighs 100 grams and i pretty much don't notice it. An extra 50% won't make him tip over.
I'm extremely picky when it comes to weight for my shoes, watch not.

I ran the London Marathon wearing mine on a rubber strap. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to wear it for a run as it is a sports watch.
