At present, there are so many people wearing watches, not only because wearing watches makes people more temperamental, but also a symbol of literacy and status. Watchband is the collective name for the effective part of the wrist which is fixed by the watchmaker. Then, what watches and watches have, the following is a simple distinction for you.
Metal watch strap
Metal watchband can be divided into precious metal materials and other metal materials. The most common precious metal materials used as watchband are platinum and K gold. And other metal material straps, steel, titanium metal is the majority.
Precious Metal Watchband
Precious Metal Watchband: It's expensive, exquisite and luxurious. Ordinary people can't use it. This type is suitable for high scale and jewelry watches, etc. to wear on special occasions (self brain tonic charity evening scene...).
Common Stainless Steel Watchband
Ordinary steel watchband: moderate price, complete range of high and low grade goods. Metal straps have the advantages of durability, boldness and sport. Although fear of oxidation is also prone to scratches due to improper use of process care. But compared with leather, rubber and nylon watches, it has a longer life and can be restored to shine after simple treatment.
Disadvantages: fear of sweat, fear of collision, fear of discoloration. As a part of direct contact with skin, because of the long use time, habits and environment, more or less dirt will be generated. Metal strap is easy to accumulate dirt and then cause wear and corrosion when contact sweat is not handled in time.
Cortical band
There are quite a number of types, and the price difference is very wide. There are alligator skin, lizard skin, ostrich skin, cowhide, sheepskin and so on. Newer leather with: Devil's skin, water snake's skin. Elegant watches must be matched with top leather straps to show the overall elegance.
The greatest advantage of cortical straps is that they are skin-friendly. That is to say, from the comfort of wearing, leather straps are more comfortable, especially in the cold autumn and winter season, wearing more feel warm and comfortable. Cortical straps are less harmful to skin and clothing than other straps. In addition to the material itself, the leather strap gives people a feeling of elegance and restraint. In daily life, it is more suitable for business occasions to wear, giving people a more formal feeling.
But the cortical surface has one of the biggest drawbacks, which is easy to wear, aging and fracture. It's easy to sweat when you wear it in high temperature in summer. Because the cortex is generally impermeable, and because of the leather strap production process, wearing a day in the hot summer, wrist wearing a watch that circle may suffocate a circle of sweat. There is another reason that can not be ignored, after sweating, the cortical strap will also produce odor, which requires regular use of a slightly wet cloth to wipe carefully when wearing the cortical strap, in order to avoid odor.
Canvas or nylon strap
Speaking of Nylon Watch straps, many people immediately have a brand in mind, DW. DW quickly occupied the young market with its compact large dial design and changeable nylon strap. But besides DW, other watch brands also like nylon straps. The advantages of nylon and canvas are simple, practical, cheap and easy to produce. And these materials have a good sense of wear, breathable and comfortable. There are also many patterns in the design, various patterns, the choice of space is also very large.
Canvas strap
Nylon watchband
The disadvantage of nylon or canvas straps is that they are not suitable for formal occasions; they are easy to draw and fur in material. In addition, many people also think that nylon watchbands, like rubber belts, are less expensive than metal and leather watchbands. In fact, nylon watchband is produced because of its lower cost and simplicity and practicality. Compared with its advantages, I personally think that nylon material is not high-end can not become its shortcomings or shortcomings, because this is the perfect choice for sports watches.
Plastic watchband
The cheapest price, mainly with electronic fashion watch. The design is diversified and colourful. Plastic watchbands are more common in children's watches and so on. Adults almost don't wear them.
Silicone/Rubber Watchband
It is gradually favored by publishers. It is mainly used for waterproof and diving meters, and will be used more and more widely in the future. Silica gel/rubber has excellent physical properties: non-toxic, high and low temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, elasticity, easy maintenance.
Silicone watchband
Silicone/rubber straps are generally used in sports watches, because this kind of material has an important advantage, the flexibility of silicone/rubber is particularly good, commonly known as "fabrication". In addition, the fashion dynamic of the silicone/rubber strap is also the reason why many people choose it. More and more high-grade wrist watches prefer rubber bands, which are practical, easy to maintain and fashionable silicone/rubber bands have gradually become a new factor in the band industry.
Compared with metal straps and leather straps, rubber material is still not recognized by the middle-aged and elderly groups. In terms of texture, metal straps and leather straps can bring prominent quality, which is incomparable with silicone rubber straps.
