watchband

Timepiece wrist strap

A watchband is the strap that secures a wristwatch to the wrist.

Watchbands come in leather, metal, rubber, or fabric, and can often be swapped to change a watch's appearance: I replaced the old leather watchband with a stainless steel one.

Also called a watch strap.
