Watch straps come in various materials, styles, and colours to suit different preferences and occasions. However, not all watch straps are created equal. In this guide, we'll explore the different types of watch strap materials, their advantages and disadvantages, and why FKM+ rubber straps are perfect for the Australian lifestyle.
Watch Strap Materials
- Leather: A classic choice, leather straps provide a timeless and elegant look. They're comfortable, durable, and versatile. However, they can be less suitable for water exposure or extreme temperatures, making them less ideal to wear for long periods of time in the Australian climate. If leather is your preference then have a look at our FKM+ Combi Leather Range.
- Silicone: Silicone straps are lightweight, waterproof, and affordable, making them a popular choice for sports watches and fitness trackers. However, they can attract dust, lint, and may not be as comfortable or breathable as other materials.
- Nylon/Canvas/Sailcloth: These straps are lightweight, comfortable, and suitable for casual wear. They're also more breathable than leather or silicone, making them a good choice for hot climates. However, they can be less durable and may not be ideal for water exposure & sweat. Have a look at our FKM+ Combi Sailcloth Straps, they offer the colours and textures with the added bonus of an FKM+ backing.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel watch bands provide a sleek, modern look and are highly durable. They can be heavy and may not be as comfortable as other materials, especially in hot weather.
- FKM+ Rubber: FKM+ rubber straps combine the durability and water resistance of silicone straps with the comfort and breathability of nylon and canvas straps. They're perfect for the Australian climate and lifestyle, as they're comfortable, stylish, and versatile.
