Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between watch straps and watch bands?

Watch straps are more straightforward than watch bands and are more widely used in the industry today.

They are commonly made from a non-metallic material, mainly rubber. However, there are many other materials used today, such as:

Leather
Nylon
Cloth

Years ago, the market consisted of metallic or leather straps, but times have changed, and many people prefer rubber as it holds its shape and doesn't get worn or smell like leather can after long periods of use.

Rubber is also considerably more robust than its counterparts which is helpful for people who conduct heavy-duty work daily.

What are the different types of straps?

Rubber Straps
Stainless Steel Straps
NATO Straps
Leather Straps
Silicone Straps
Nylon Straps

How long is a watch strap?

As a rule of thumb, the strap width should be around 50% of the case diameter.

Here are some examples to follow:

Case Diameter in (mm)	Strap Width in (mm)
36	18
38	19
40	20
44	22
48	24

What is the difference between leather and rubber watch bands?

Leather Band Pros:

It has a traditional look most coveted by many
Leather is seen as more comfortable to wear
Leather will Shape your wrist over time
Leather is fairly strong
Even when the leather starts to wear, it still looks good – with many people believing that it adds character over time

Rubber Band Pros:

Vulcanized Rubber is solid
Comfortable to wear and is tight around the wrist
Ideal for athletes and also easy to clean
Ideal for swimmers as it repels water
It has more colour varieties than its counterparts
It always looks like new
Vulcanized rubber straps not only last for many years, but unlike leather straps, they do not develop odours regardless of years of use.

Can I change from a watch strap to a watch band and vice versa?

Make a note of the width of your clasp or buckle on your current watch strap before purchasing a new one.

The buckle width is not necessarily the same as the width of the lug, with straps sometimes tapering to the buckle.

For large buckles, you must check that you have suitable-sized holes on your watch strap. As a rule of thumb, metal watch bands are generally unsuitable for leather ones and vice versa.
