Side note on watches, every time I consider buying a watch I always am drawn to the metal strap/band. I don't mind leather or cloth but personally metal seems like it would be smoother on the skin....and if I need to clean the band I just throw it in an ultrasonic cleaner
- Hamuko 2y agoMetal bands are a bitch if you ever need to type on a laptop though.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoI actually found the opposite - metal bands tend to pinch me due to the segmented design. Other materials where the strap is all one piece are much more comfortable to wear.
- weinzierl 2y agoNot sure if it is because I had bad quality metal bands or I am just too hairy. The ones I had were far from Swiss Watch level but I wouldn't call them cheap. I always had the problem that they hurt because they ripped out small hairs. It's nice that you can shake off any water from them and they are instantly dry and also that you can thoroughly clean them.
- eleveriven 2y agoOne thing to keep in mind is that metal bands can sometimes be heavier and less flexible than leather or cloth
- alinoe_ 2y agoIt's almost always better and cheaper to get the bracelet with the watch and buy the strap later. Good quality/branded bracelets are expensive.
