Leather straps are soft and comfortable, but more easily damaged and aged. Nylon straps are light and thin, breathable, and inexpensive. Rubber straps are not easy to breathe, easy to turn yellow, and leave stains. Ceramic straps are relatively simple in style, high in maintenance costs, wear-resistant, but fragile. Straps of different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose according to your own needs, seasons, and occasions. Straps are consumable items. You should pay more attention to cleaning and maintenance. When cleaning, it is best to remove the straps separately to clean them to avoid water entering the watch.

There are many ways to measure a watch strap. For example, we can take a paper tape measure that is accurate to millimeters, mark the beginning scale from one end of the dial, and then circle the strap to the other end of the dial and mark the end scale. The corresponding length of the strap can be calculated. Or you can take off the watch, measure the total length with a ruler, and then measure the length of the dial. After subtracting, you can get the length of the strap. This manual measurement method has some errors. You can check the relevant reference data when buying a watch, and generally you will be told the length of the strap.

The strap of the watch is customized. You can go to a special customized watch store to customize the strap. The length of the strap of the watch will be made according to the size of the wrist. When customizing the strap, you should pay attention to the fact that many "pure handmade customization" are actually pits produced by machines.

The leather strap of the watch is relatively soft and more comfortable to wear than the steel strap watch. Another point is that the leather strap of the watch is very convenient and easy to disassemble, and it can also avoid the allergic reaction of some people wearing stainless steel strap watches. Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, we should regularly maintain the watch strap, which can extend the service life of the leather strap. Because the leather has strong permeability, water, moisture, oily substances and perfume and cosmetics will corrode the leather strap. The cracking phenomenon when exposed to water is very serious. Therefore, the strap should be taken care of. Do not wear the leather strap watch immediately after exercise in summer. Wear it after a period of time. Even if you want to wear it, you must wipe the sweat with a dry cloth before wearing it. Do not expose the watch strap to a humid environment to avoid distortion, discoloration, and corrosion. Prevent water seepage from the leather. Do not expose the watch strap to the sun. Long-term strong sunlight exposure will cause the surface color of the leather strap to fade, accelerate the aging of the leather, and easily cause the leather strap to crack. You can apply a small amount of professional leather oil on the leather strap regularly to add a protective layer and brighten the strap.
