watch straps
Secure wrist timepieces
Watch straps are bands that secure a wristwatch to the arm.
They attach to lugs on opposite sides of the watch case and fasten with a buckle, clasp, or other closure.
Materials range from leather and fabric to metal, rubber, and silicone.
Many watches allow easy swapping of straps to change appearance: I bought a NATO strap to dress down my dress watch.
