Do people switch up straps on nice watches or just cheap watches?

That combination looks great
Not sure if my answer will be helpful to you, as I do both!
I switch straps on “nice” watches and “cheap”ones.
Your choice of strap looks great on that Casio. # Casio #straps👍
I just do it on the cheap ones. They get more frequent wear.
I have relatively inexpensive watches so I've been swapping when it makes sense.
I usually immediately take whatever came on the watch, slap in Marathon shoulderless, and literally change single pieces every day, regardless of price point.
If I ever have anything over the $1K mark, I would see no difference.
A few have elastic style, rubber, or a steel bracelet here or there so they tend to stay in whatever I have them on.
I change the look on just about everything. Vintage don't love you for trying it though.
I switch straps like dirty underwear! There's only a hand full of watches that I keep on their bracelets.
I don’t have expensive watches, so I swap straps for most of the watches I have. I only don’t swap for those that have less common lug widths that I didn’t buy straps for or Swatch watches (yes, Swatch. I have a couple of them that that are still usable with straps that have not cracked).
For me it has more to do with how good of an OEM band it comes with and/or if the lugs are regular or custom (like my Ebel).
With a 6.5" wrist, I always end up swapping the original strap for a short one.

Was hesitant with blue and black but looks great
I love switching straps on watches, cost of watch is entirely irrelevant. I only buy straps with quick release spring bars, and love being able to change the look of a watch on the fly.
None of my watches are safe from a strap swap.
Change up here also on all my watches. I even have custom straps made for them.
Have fun!
Cheers!
Doesn't really matter to me. I've done both and only care if the combo looks good. The strap I have on my Moonswatch Pluto, for instance, cost half as much as the watch.
