Watch straps for kids
I’m need some help guys, I have created a monster! My boy, who is 7, has turned into a watch fanatic! I often find him in a corner with my watch mags. He has started his collection and I have a watch for him but I need a strap, 20mm short. Does anyone know of any suppliers? I’m not looking for high end straps the watch only cost me £20 however the strap it came with was too big and very poor quality.

Strapsco.com has some short length straps for "cheap". About $20 is what I could find.
There is more options than what's in the picture, I just took a quick snapshot.
My 9yo got into watches when he was 6. Before that he was wearing Mickey Mouse watches. But I started him off on a bracelet, that way he can keep adding links back as he grows. Currently he is wearing an Orient tristar day date.
U can always buy an inexpensive 2-piece nylon nato-like cut the tongue end & add more holes w a leather hole press or even a nail & hammer

This is exactly what I was going to do next, I have a punch so easy to cut and seal with a lighter

Excellent, what type of bracelet is he wearing?

The orient (approx $150) comes in a bracelet and it keeps accurate time.
If you want to learn how to adjust an expansion band, those Speidel type things are great for children. I'm wearing one now!
Check out WatchObsession if you're in the UK. Use the store filters to narrow the selection by length https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/collections/20mm-watch-straps
I order most of my straps from www.smartwatch-straps.co.uk because I'm a smart watch collector mainly. I know from experience the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro 43mm category is all just 20mm straps. Silicone or nylon straps probably suit your price range best.
I'm curious what watch your son is starting out with! Great to hear such enthusiasm from the new generation.
