Choosing the Perfect Replacement Watch Strap During Watch Repair

A watch repair shop is your first port of call if your watch has been damaged. You can explore different watch straps while your local watch repair shop completes repairs. Different watch straps will suit different lifestyles, so it is important to choose the right one to make your timepiece last.

LEATHER WATCH STRIP

Leather straps, a classic style that is available in a variety of colors, are a popular choice for watch repair shops when refurbishing watches. A leather strap is an excellent choice if you wear your watch to work. It is timeless and long-lasting. While most leather straps are made of calf leather, Nappa leather has become a more popular option.

A brown leather strap is versatile and can be worn up or down, making it suitable for both casual and formal outfits. Black watch straps are considered formal, while coloured straps in navy, green, or burgundy look more casual.

RUBBER STRIP

Rubber straps are ideal for watches that are waterproof or sports watches. They can withstand salt water and will not be damaged by salt water unlike leather. Rubber straps are great for the gym and on the beach, but not so well at work.

If your watch is an older model that you don't wear often, you might consider having the strap replaced by a rubber strap at your watch repair shop. This will allow you to use the watch at the gym and on weekends without worrying about the strap getting damaged or smelling sweaty like leather straps.

NATO STRAP

NATO straps are woven straps that are most commonly used for army watches. A NATO strap can also be used for everyday watches. You can swap the NATO strap easily, making it versatile.

It's worth looking at the various NATO straps available when your watch needs repair. A woven NATO watch strap should not be worn when you are active or as a daytime watch.

CHAIN-LINK STRAP

For a premium watch, metal link bracelets are an excellent choice. Both sterling silver and golden are extremely versatile. Chain link straps are more expensive so you might want to save them for something special. Most cases, your local watch repair shop can remove metal links easily. This makes it an excellent choice for gifting watches. Find out more here ''Apple watch strap''.

Consider changing your watch strap next time your watch battery is replaced or your old watch is repaired.
