FAQ: Types of Leather Watch Bands

Posted by Karene on 7th Apr 2016

Watch bands come in a variety of styles and materials. One of the most popular choices for replacement straps are leather watch bands. Leather watch bands are ideal for a number of reasons. They're comfortable and adjust to your wrist and they're available in many different styles, colors, and thicknesses. Most of our watchbands are made of calfskin which is known for being soft and supple. They're one of the most comfortable bands we offer. Calfskin watchbands can also be embossed with other designs, such as crocodile prints, snakeskin prints, and other options. They're great for experimenting with different colors & styles.

What kind of leather watch band is right for me? It depends on what you need. If you're looking for something classic, comfortable, and stylish for day-to-day wear, you can't go wrong with a black or brown calfskin watch strap. Some of our most popular classic straps are available in a variety of basic colors.
