So, I see comments like "I just can't wear a watch on anything but....."

I've gone out of my way to find the right bracelet for many watches. However, I've got a couple on leather that makes the watch Sing What do you prefer to wear your watch on? Icon_cheers Now, lets hear about how you decide about your watches and their bracelet/strap.

Bracelet man all the way here. Out of 29 watches, only 3 are on straps and those are rubber or Kevlar.

I do have a few new leather Hirsch straps in my watch box but I doubt Ill ever use them. Never say
never though. A nice dress watch probably should be on leather but since I wore suits every day when I worked I rarely get dressed up anymore and dont even own a strictly dress watch.

I prefer the look and feel of bracelets. And a little loose with some play in them.

Some stay on leather, rubber or steel; some go croc in winter and spring, then change to steel in summer and fall.

The only watch I have NOT on a bracelet is my Panerai, haven't seen a bracelet that I thought would go with it either...

I used to use leather only on dress and tended to use only SS bracelets on sport but now I switch them up depending on where my mood is and where I'm going.

I guess I'm easy ! Bracelets are AWESOME and often seem to
complete the overall look of a watch imho. However, straps,
both leather, and rubber are nice, and comfortable too. Either
way is fine with me ! What do you prefer to wear your watch on? Icon_smile

. . . I favour a GOOD quality bracelet. Although there are some watches IMO that belong on a nice leather strap. My Zeno for example, I can't picture it on anything other than the original leather with the white contrast stitching.

. . . I am ordering a leather factory Citizen strap with a deployant for my minute repeater shortly . . . the stock bracelet is right at that spot where it is too loose or too tight. Along those lines, I do prefer a signed buckle or deployant if available . . . . picky,picky . . . What do you prefer to wear your watch on? Icon_rolleyes

Always depends - the strap or bracelet can make (or break) the the look of a watch.
Sometimes bracelets attract too much attention so I tend to tone them down with leather or gator.

Almost any material will do as long as it's complementary.
Not to mention the joy of finding the perfect match and the ability to swap.

Then there's the strap purchase pacifier - for when you really shouldn't be buying another "whole" watch

About 95% bracelet. I won't buy a watch without one. I have been dabbling with natos here and there. Never wear rubber or leather.

Depends on my mood, what I'm wearing, outside temperature, and activity.
