So you’re in the market for a new watch but which watch strap should you choose?
There is no simple answer to this and mostly it’s personal choice but you should really take some time to decide when you are likely to wear the watch.
If you are shopping for something formal it is a good idea to go for a steel or gold watch. These tend to look best when combined with a suit or dress. They always come across as more elegant than others.
If you are looking for a handy day to day watch that has to survive the wear and tear of everyday life a good plastic strap can be useful. It tends to be lighter and more comfortable than most and absorbs punishment well.
Of course if you want one that covers the best of both worlds go for a top quality leather strap. I hope this has helped you get closer to your decision.
