Watch straps are no more just an attachment to your timepiece to keep it on hand, just as watches are no more just a time-telling accessory. Watch bands are a perfect mean to easily personalise your watch and fit to different outfits and occasions. They come in many different types – like milanese mesh bands, link bracelet bands, Perlon, ZULU and NATO watch straps; many different styles – like aviator/pilot, military, rally, sport and vintage watch bands; in a wide range of colors – from black, brown, gold and rose gold watch straps to white, green, orange or red watch bands; and are made out of many different materials – like various leather watch straps, as well as nylon, canvas, rubber/silicone and metal bracelets.

A wide variety of watch straps can help you to take a single watch from gym to office, from casual to formal, from simple to extraordinary. Many different closure types (traditional buckle, deployment clasp, velcro, quick release pins) and large range of sizes (from extra small, through 18/20/22mm to extra large watch straps) guarantee fit to every wrist. Most watches with standard lugs attachment allow for a replacement watch straps, yet some have specific build and it’s important to see if the watch strap is compatible with a particular brand/model.

This enormous variety of watch bands is dictated by constant evolution of timepieces, best example being Apple Watch – a smartwatch designed with a thought of interchangeable 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch bands – showing how one watch can fit many different people and lifestyles.
