What are your favorite watch straps?

Depends on the situation.

Usually a NATO (actually just bought another CWC mil-spec elastic NATO 5 mins ago)

But do enjoy a good quality Sailcloth (Artem loopless), big fan of Staib Milanese, tho latest purchases are Forstner Komfit and Bonklip bracelets and I'm finding those very comfortable and lightweight.

This MAY be a hot take - but leather straps are my least favorite straps to have on a watch. I’d rank my preferences of straps like so:

1. Metal Bracelets (the Monta bracelets are *chefs kiss* so good

2. Silicone/rubber

3. Seatbelt Nylon/NATO

4. Canvas/Sailcloth

5. Leather

Im curios, why leather as the worst?

It’s not that I don’t like leather straps, but I like to pretty much wear my watches all the time, wake, sleep, shower, beach, mountains, and everywhere in between - I just feel that with leather straps, I’d have to remove it when doing some normal day to day stuff - shower, doing dishes, etc.

That being said, I do think a nice leather strap would work on some occasions - weddings, fancy soirée - but I’d generally go with a metal straps in those occasions, myself.

My list is the exact opposite of yours 😂

Not accounting for craftsmanship, of course. A quality bracelet will be more comfortable than a budget leather, and vice versa, etc.

For me it’s a question of bracelet or leather. Occasionally rubber and canvas. Natos in all shapes and forms primarily in a drawer.

Rubber or FKM in the summer and leather in the winter for me.

Nothing beats a leather strap for me.

I usually wear my watches on a bracelet, but when I want a good leather strap - @twostitchstraps.

For me it's all about the nato strap. I find them more comfortable because they fit perfectly and don't wiggle around. I like the asymmetry of the extra piece you tuck in. I like the massive variety of textures and colors you can find. I love the way you can change them so quickly and easily. I prefer sharkfin straps by #blushark . They are a bit higher than others i've tried but they are always my gold standard to compare to, quality-wise.

I like leather and sailcloth too, but to a much lesser extent. I think I'd like to try a grey suede strap some time... I haven't seen a rubber strap I'd like to purchase yet but I'm sure there's something cool out there.
