What's your favorite type of bracelet?
Before all the band and strap people come to get me... I like those too 😅 BUT I love me a comfortable bracelet even more. The odd thing is I can't seem to put my finger on what makes a perfect bracelet. I used to think a solid bracelet with no give was the only answer, but then you try on a lighter more expandable bracelet and realize: that's comfortable too 😅. I also know there's a lot of controversy with integrated bracelets and I refuse to take a side, but I'm also not afraid to say I like them for me. These are my 3 favorite bracelets at the moment, all different in size, weight, style and build. And before anyone tries to hit me with the hair pulling comments, my head is jealous of my arm hair so... Chin up and embrace a little natural grooming.
Casio collector since the 90s, recently got into mechanical/automatic watches.
Oyster. The only type I own.

Can't go wrong with a nice oyster, I have a couple myself too 😁
Jubilee or speedy "bullet" bracelet for me. I find the smaller links allow for a more precise fit, and the increased articulation helps it hug the shape of my wrist better.
But I still maintain that the best bracelet is a leather strap 😂

You had to get that last part in there 🤣 I couldn't agree more with a jubilee
BoR and Oyster.
I'm a bracelet guy too and I tend towards the Oyster style on my Tudor Ranger, the T-Fit clasp really makes it perfect.
My recent Oris Diver 65 pick up has a great bracelet too, a hard taper of 20-14mm just looks great and its a lot thinner and lighter than most.
I have a PRX too and I love the look of the flat links, it gives a real special glimmer and twinkle to the bracelet.
The Brew bracelets look great too with just that big single link.
I’m a beads of rice fan so long as the watch head isn’t to chunky.
For chunky watch heads I like the look of engineer bracelets but, given my wrist size, I generally find that combination too heavy and end up using a rubber/silicone strap.
Why is it so bad to say you love bracelets? Me too!!
Milanese style bracelets are really comfortable but a little flimsy.
I love jubilee bracelets and oyster style bracelets. But now my essential is microadjustability.
My Glasshutte original seventies has the best bracelet I’ve ever worn.
Jubilee babyyyyy!
I like integrated bracelets but unless a brand is willing to go the extra mile and support such a model, then they should think hard about doing it, because they are unkind to long term ownership.
Hard to say what makes the perfect bracelet. For me, it’s about elegance, good flow in a design, and adjustability. My San Martin’s have BORs with a really handy clasp. Toolless adjustment is handy for me, but I alternate wrists very often, so it’s probably more useful for me than for most others. I think there is also something to be said for a comfortable clasp. The pressed clasp on my aftermarket Jubilee for my 350-case Vostok is probably the most comfortable clasp I’ve ever had on a watch.
Mm! some important ones are tapering and how well it vents.
I love the a good jubilee bracelet they seem to fit my wrist really well

Love that Glashutte 🤩
Yeah ! As @TimeOnMyHands said: beads of rice is a great call : here’s a great example #rado makes a super one
Yes
Parmigiani Tonda FP’s
Best of the best
The integrated bracelet is my favorite style recently. Ocean Crawler Bolt here
Been using oyster for years. But now I found jubilee and presidential bracelet more comfortable (and visually interesting)
Here in humid Florida, mesh is the most comfortable for me. Sadly, mesh clasps are almost always janky. Beads of rice is second most comfortable, especially with a clasp that has on the fly micro adjust. Oyster is acceptable.

Love your Vostok
Beads of rice. Thin clasps are nice too
