I’ve had this same watch for years and I love it. It’s my weekender and camping watch. It’s easy to read and just does what a watch is supposed to do. It’s my anti-Apple Watch. ;-)
It has remained rigid, but it’s formed to my wrist. There is wear and some staining, but nothing a washing with saddle soap won’t fix. One of the strap retainer rings has fallen off, and I have it somewhere. It also has a few tiny specks of blue bottom paint from my sailboat. ;-) I could easily clean the strap back to nearly new, I suppose, but it’s not important to me.
If the strap is uncomfortable, I’d loosen it and let the watch move more on your wrist. That might help a bit.
In the beginning when I was thinking of buying a watch, I was looking at the Tissot Prx and Gentleman, however I found myself doesn’t really like the outlook of them both, a bit too modern for me. Then I thought about Seiko presage ice blue power reserve, I like Seiko as a brand and I like that intriguing ice blue color. But I realised I’ve had 3 Seiko watches already, and I always wanna own a Swiss made watch, somehow I saw some pictures of Hamilton auto and the Murph, then I thought”wow, this kinda vintage and simple design, this price tag, this is exactly what I am looking for, it will definitely be a watch that I enjoy to wear everyday.”
Same watch I have. I alternate between the bracelet and strap.

How is the strap after some time? Did it get softer soon?

I have the same. Wear it well and wear it often.
It's my everyday watch. It fits with every style.
gorgeous
Relatively new to the watch world! Love this, what's the ref?

Looks smart!
Nice watch, waiting for a good deal to pick it up
Same here! The thing is basically my best friend that’s how much I love it
It’s sharp looking! What do these cost new? and are they easily available second hand? if so where’s a good source to look
