What's your favorite watch strap? Comment below!

[robertrenner]

I believe you have top grain and genuine leathers backwards. I think genuine leather is more affordable and top grain is thicker and nicer.

When it comes to details, Antonio is the man, this is what you call a detailed explanation.

I'm a blue collar guy and find metal bracelets far more comfortable especially in the heat and humidity - I find they breath much better and may even help dissipate the heat. All the straps I've tried end up smelling because of the grime from the workday getting trapped under them and I find I have to keep taking it off to wipe it down or continually move it up and down on the wrist because of hot spots - I forget I even have a metal bracelet on during the workday. When I get home I wash my hands and the entire watch/bracelet in cold water and use a toothbrush or fingernail brush on the whole thing

Much respect to this guy, so much detail and effort went into making just this one video.

Such an enlightening video. I’m a huge leather strap fan but after watching this, I realize my next purchase has to be a stainless steel strap. It’s clearly necessary for every man to own one.

I have watches with leather straps, but I keep reaching for my Swatch with an olive face and an olive silicone band. It's so clean and I don't have to worry about matching leathers because it's so different.

[Shamim.keshavarz]

Leather is my favorite strap. The most stylish and elegant in my opinion. Specially if it has roman numbers inside the case.

My best watch is a Rado, Made of hightech ceramics. Very hard, hard to Scratch, nice shine and lightweight. I love this watch.

[raigner]

For my watch straps I usually prefer stainless steel in general (links, milaneses meshes, etc.), due to the durability and look, for casual dressing and somewhat formal attires the combination looks great (depending on the watch style of course), but, I do have some leather strap dress watches too, because when it comes to actual formal attire nothing can beat a quality leather strap.

[ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Antonio Genuine Leather is the worst quality of leather. It’s bottom grain leather and it won’t last long. Naming it Genuine Leather was a marketing con. Never buy Genuine Leather.

Titanium is my favorite, all the benefits of steel, plus it doesn’t feel as cold to the touch when picking up from a cold room than steel.

[davep]

Great video on the different choices. For every day, I am pretty much addicted to the one piece military style straps similar to a Maratac or those found on Marathons etc. They are light, comfortable and easy to adjust if they start to feel tight. I had an accident with a watch years ago when a spring bar broke and the watch simply fell to the floor suffering damage. The one piece nylon strap also gives a margin of safety where that is concerned.

This man has all the information he's the goat of men's fashion

[armaankaloty]

Man that intro music never gets old mate 👌

[guganesan.ilavarasan]

Please make a sperate video on NATO straps and their interesting combinations. Along with best watches suitable to go with NATO, eg. Seiko 5.

[sak]

Nice explanation of the pros and cons of the variety of materials available.

[OneTalaw]

Excellent!👍 It’s nice to see someone with style/fashion sense (you) speak about watch straps AND the formality of what is acceptable to wear with certain clothing. All too often I see people believing that it is perfectly acceptable to wear a metal bracelet or NATO style watch strap with formal attire (tuxedo). It’s also nice NOT to see you giving praise to those cheap fashion watches (Vencero, MVMT to name just a couple). I’d like to see more on this, perhaps you can speak about some of the high quality microbrand watches out nowadays.

My favorite is a fine woven Milanese strap. Wears comfortable and doesn't tear out hairs.
