There are usually four types of watch bands: leather band,
cloth band, metal band, rubber/silicone band. Leather Band Leather band has a
very neat, classic look. It will surely appeal to you if your aesthetic taste
is quite conservative and you would rather prefer time-tested things. That
means if your clothing consists of mostly the following pieces: shirts,
classical trousers, suites, tuxedos — leather band is probably the right choice
for you. Firstly, under the negative effect of a buckle on its counterpart an
indentation might get formed in this type of bands. The buckle basically
deforms it. Secondly, it is quite easily stained from the reaction of a leather
band with your sweat.
Metal Band Metal bands are, as a rule, made of either stainless steel,
precious metals or titanium. They are very practical, modern and long-lasting. Now,
let us discuss cons and pros of gold/silver bands. If you’re considering to
purchase a gold band then keep in mind that: gold is quite pliable and hence
will easily scratch; plus it is also bound to draw unwanted attention. If you
are considering silver then you should know that: silver is also fairly soft
and scratchy; it might come in contact with one’s body chemistry oxidizing it,
making it
go dark. If you are not infatuated with the idea of having a band
made of some precious metal, then it is advisable that you opt for either
stainless steel or titanium. These bands are easy to clean, easy to wear and
will last forever (almost).
Cloth Band Cloth bands are quite sturdy, cheap and come in many unusual, unique
designs and colors. Rubber/Silicone Band The main quality of the band is its
outstanding water resistance. Rubber band watches are not as elegant, but they
are typically quite cheap, sturdy easily washable. However, they tend to lose
their color when exposed to salty water and chlorine; in addition, they frequently
accumulate little particles of stuff between ridges, as well as dust.
