Now there are many styles of watches, and there are also many watchbands of different styles and materials. The same dial with different watchbands can create different types. There are also huge differences in the price range of different watchbands. Many friends began to wonder, which watchband is the most suitable for them. When customizing a watch, how to choose a watchband?
Metal watchband materials can be divided into stainless steel, tungsten steel, precious metals (18K gold, platinum), titanium, and so on. The most commonly used material is stainless steel. The stainless steel strap is strong and durable, with long service life and a heavy texture. Tungsten steel has high hardness and is not easy to wear. Titanium is dark in color, lightweight, and resistant to rust. The metal watchband is more cool and comfortable to wear in summer, and at the same time sets off the strong and tough temperament of men.
Although metal watchbands are durable, they are heavier than other materials. Precious metal materials are softer and less able to withstand external forces. They are prone to dents or scratches when subjected to collisions, and are more expensive. The metal watchband joint gap is easy to hide dirt, and it is easy to corrode the internal components if it is not cleaned in time. People prone to allergies may have allergic reactions to metal watchbands, so choose carefully.
Leather watchbands are made of a wider range of materials. Generally, cowhide and crocodile skin is the most commonly used, followed by animal leathers such as lizard skin and ostrich skin. Depending on the rarity of the material, the price gap is also very different. The leather watchband is soft and comfortable, and it will not be as cold as the steel band when used in winter. The leather watchband feels more restrained and elegant, suitable for business occasions.
However, leather watchbands are more prone to damage and aging than watchbands made of other materials. First of all, the leather watchband should not touch the water. Once it touches the water and is not handled in time, it will produce a peculiar smell and crack. Secondly, leather watchbands are not easy to breathe, and people's wrists are prone to sweating in summer, so it is not suitable to use leather watchbands in high-temperature weather. Usually, pay attention to regular cleaning to avoid damage to the watchband due to sweat erosion.
Radar is famous for its high-tech ceramic watchband. The ceramic watchband is lighter in weight, bright in color, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, not easy to wear, and comfortable to wear on the skin. Because the surface of the ceramic watchband is not easy to leave scratches, the daily maintenance work is extremely simple. You only need to wipe the dust on the surface with a wet towel, and then use a soft brush to remove the dirt in the gap.
The ceramic watchband is complicated and difficult to polish, so the style is relatively simple. Although it is resistant to wear and tear, it has a fatal disadvantage - it is fragile and not resistant to falling. Many times, ceramic watches are accidentally dropped from the table or hit, and they may be broken into pieces and cannot be repaired, and the cost of repair and replacement is relatively high.
The rubber strap has a soft texture and is more comfortable to wear than a metal watchband. It is very fashionable and is not prone to allergic reactions in the human body. It has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-drop, anti-collision, good elasticity, and high-temperature resistance. As long as it is not pierced by sharp objects or vandalized, the rubber watchband will be very durable and suitable for people with rough activities.
The rubber watchband is not easy to breathe, and it is challenging to volatilize once the wrist sweats, and it is easy to leave stains on the wrist after rubbing with the dust in the air. At the same time, the rubber watchband is easy to be stained with ash, and the watchband after being stained with ash will look unsightly, while the ordinary white rubber watchband is prone to yellowing and is not resistant to dirt. Therefore, in the choice of the color of the rubber watchband, try to choose a dark watchband, pay attention to daily cleaning, and avoid letting the watchband come into contact with too much dust.
When it comes to nylon watchbands, the first thing that everyone can think of is the DW watches that are popular among young people. The colors of nylon watchbands are bright and rich, and there are many options, which meet the needs of young people to show their individuality. The nylon material has a light and thin texture and is more breathable than a leather watchband. It fits the wrist curve very well and is convenient and comfortable to wear. The material is cheap and usually used in military and sports watches.
The disadvantage of a nylon watchband is that it is not waterproof and not dirty. If it is not dried in time after touching the water, the strap is easy to stink, and it is not suitable for people who sweat a lot. This watchband requires frequent cleaning and does not dry out easily. The watchband is easy to be scratched by sharp objects and causes burrs or burrs, which affects the overall aesthetics. Therefore, when choosing a nylon watchband, you need to pay more attention to cleaning and try not to wear it during frequent sweating to avoid scratching.
Watchbands of different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. When customizing a watch, you can choose according to your own needs, seasons, and occasions. The watch band is a consumable item. Usually, you should pay more attention to the cleaning and maintenance work. When cleaning, it is best to take the watchband out and clean it separately, so as not to cause the watch to enter the water.
