Which is better, the strap or the steel strap? What is the difference?

When it comes to whether a watch is better to wear a steel belt or a steel belt, the advantages and disadvantages of these two kinds of straps are very obvious. There is no better one, only a more suitable one.

First of all, some common situations of leather watchbands are easy to wear and deteriorate, and they are not resistant to sweat and water. In fact, the steel strap is not as comfortable as leather. After winter, the temperature drops, and the steel strap will be very cold to wear because of the material.

Of course, it also depends on what you wear and where you wear your watch. It is best to wear a watch with two straps, a leather strap in winter and a steel strap in summer. Different clothes can be temporarily changed in advance to adapt to different scenes.

Generally speaking, steel belts are heavy and uncomfortable, but they are shiny, beautiful and fashionable. Whether it is winter or summer, it is cool and comfortable here. The belt may be dirty and difficult to clean. Give people a low-key and introverted feeling. Summer is a little uncomfortable, but you can relax.

This is related to two factors. In fact, we don't have to worry about whether the strap is good or the steel belt is good. Everyone has their own. Leather strap is brightly colored, which is not easy to damage clothes. Although the steel strap is strong, it is not as comfortable as the belt.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a belt watch?

The leather strap is soft, docile and comfortable, and at the same time, it avoids the allergic reaction of nickel metal leakage to the human body like wearing a stainless steel strap, which goes further and looks high-grade. Therefore, educated people generally prefer to use leather straps.

But like other leather things, the most taboo of leather strap is water (including human sweat). Soaked in water for a long time or exposed to humid environment, the leather strap will immediately become hard and brittle. Therefore, never wear a watch with a leather strap to swim (or do things that touch water for a long time).

In terms of durability, the leather strap is definitely not as durable as the metal strap. The life of a normal leather strap is 2-3 years, which is considered as a "consumable". But one thing is certain, as long as you wear it normally and take good care of it, you can greatly improve its service life, which is the same as wearing leather shoes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of steel band watches?

The situation that should be paid attention to when using the leather strap above rarely appears on the steel chain belt due to the different materials, but it still needs careful maintenance. At present, most metal watchbands are made of stainless steel, and some of them adopt PVD ion plating process. If used improperly, the gloss of stainless steel will decrease and the color will darken. Ion-plated watchbands will also change color and fade.

Stainless steel watchbands need to be polished for a period of time, which also helps to prolong their service life. It is important to note that even stainless steel watchbands are afraid of water. If you accidentally touch water, you should clean it in the shortest time, otherwise it will rust after a long time.

There is also a steel band watch that can't freely adjust the length like a belt watch, and it needs to use a special disassembly tool to adjust the length of the strap. This will bring some trouble to daily wear.
