Is a leather watch band better or a steel watch band?

Watches are a very common wrist ornament nowadays, and this kind of ornament is loved by both boys and girls. However, the styles of watches worn by boys and girls are indeed completely different, and even the materials of the watches are different. For example, watches are divided into leather straps and steel straps. The feeling of wearing these two is different, but generally speaking, people will still choose leather straps, which will be softer and more comfortable.

Leather straps are soft, fit and comfortable, while also avoiding allergic reactions to the human body caused by the leakage of nickel metal like wearing stainless steel straps.

The leather strap looks high-end. Therefore, people who are particular generally prefer leather straps. The patterns and grades of leather straps are also varied, including crocodile leather Crocodile, lizard leather Lizard, cowhide Cow, and ostrich leather Ostrich. The most common watch strap is made of cowhide.

But leather straps are not durable. The normal lifespan of a leather strap is only 2-3 years, so it is considered a “consumable”.

Analysis 2: Characteristics of steel strap watches

The steel strap is hard, sturdy and durable. Today's metal watch straps are mostly made of stainless steel, and some use PVD ion plating technology.

However, if used improperly, the gloss of stainless steel will decrease and the color will become dark. Ion-plated watch straps will also change color and fade. After using it for a period of time, the stainless steel strap needs to be polished, which will also help extend its service life.

After comparing the two, you should have a preliminary judgment. Leather straps are elegant and high-end, but they are cumbersome to maintain and require careful use. Steel chain belts have fewer concerns when used, and their durability and ease of maintenance also make them worry-free. Do a positioning evaluation for yourself, and you will know which material to choose for the watch strap.
