Favourite Strap Type
I know it depends on the type of watch and activity, but what is your favourite overall type of strap, if you had to choose just one. Mines personally is a good bracelet, which overall is probably a Rolex Oyster, followed by a fabric such as a Nato or an Erika's MN type.

Depends on the watch, and the circumstances of the day. So E) all of the above, I love em all.
Leather if I had to choose just one.
Wear em all, prefer single pass.
They go with everything, and you can change the look in a snap.
I use to prefer bracelets 100% but good straps, leather, rubber, with fold over clasps fit better less wear and tear on the end of the watch. Rolex bracelets are reason the brand won a fair fight against brands like Omega imo.
Easy one - leather. Have nine on leather straps and three on rubber (divers).
Just got my first sailcloth. Somewhere between leather and canvas. I’m liking it.
I mostly wear a bracelet, but sometimes switch it up to a NATO, rubber or sailcloth depending in the day and the watch.
The only acceptable answer is "mesh."
Thank you
Leather.
I always will spring for the steel bracelet when buying but frequently wear on a textile NATO strap. I like options, baby!
Leather is usually more comfortable and versatile. I love a good metal bracelet if it fits me well.
Bonklip for me.

Yes always buy on a bracelet 👍
My favorite is Sailcloth rubber. Like on the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. They look awesome and can take a beating.
For me its leather 100% I'm not a fan of steel bracelets tho I love my titanium bracelet casio, and I love rubber for sports but not for daily wear
I love a jubilee myself and a nato is a great choice as well for a different more casual look.
Going on a tangent here but ever notice how the results bars dont reflect percentages in the poll results? Like here the Bracelet bar should be 3 times longer than the Leather bar.
I’m a rubber strap guy myself, bracelet being a close 2nd.
