How to Shop for the Best Women's Leather Strap Watches
The 7-step guide below will always get you to the ideal women's leather strap watches anytime.
Watch Type
You would not dare wear a £50 shoe with a £10,000 suit, so why would you pair a cheap leather strap with your fine steel watch?
The first thing to consider is the unique designer watch that you are buying a leather strap for. Whether classic, contemporary, or sporting any other style, there is a watch strap type for every watch that requires it.
Every other thing follows from there.
Brand
Next, there are diverse brands selling watch straps made of leather, but they are not all worth giving your money to.
The top brands have not only been in the business for a while, but they have a collection of the latest and sometimes limited-edition accessories in the leather strap category for you to choose from.
Furthermore, you are sure that you are getting good value for money. After all, these brands have a customer rating and reputation to protect.
Colours
Depending on the design of the watch, the occasion, and the accessories/jewellery you want to pair your leather watches with, Nordgreen offers a large selection of watches that women love.
The most popular shade for most straps is brown. When not looking at brown, you can get black, white, grey, grey, navy blue, and even white leather women's watch straps here at Nordgreen.
With most watch picks, classic black is the first point of call. Not with this strap, though.
Make sure to pick a colour that resonates well with the unique purpose of buying the strap. A good tip is to also match the colour of the steel buckle on the watch strap with your gold, white gold or silver jewellery.
This leads us to the next point.
Purpose
Even the finest watches won't work for you if you use them for the wrong purposes.
For example, a clear dive watch should be paired with a water-resistant band, especially if it will be taken for swimming. Otherwise, you are setting that watch up to perform less than it is capable of.
As a brand, we only use premium Italian leather, which is, although not waterproof, carries enough water resistance to keep itself protected against splashes.
Price
Believe it or not, the price is also an important consideration when shopping for women's leather watches.
Some straps are too highly-priced for what they bring to the table. While we are not fans of going cheap or cutting corners, we also don't see any reason why you would have to break the bank to get the style you love.
Have a clear budget in mind and never look to pay more than £100 for a replacement band – depending on the grade level that you are looking for.
Quality of Leather
Did you know that not all kinds of leather on straps are real?
Take a close look at the straps or the product description to see if they have the letters 'PU' branded somewhere there.
The 'leather' that such straps are made from is far from the real deal. It was, instead, synthesized to look like the real thing.
Thus, you can never enjoy the premium feel of a true leather strap on your wrist with that.
Quality of Stitching
It is not all about the watch strap material itself.
You would be surprised that some of the best leather strap watches (womens) got to the top of the list because of their beautiful stitching. You might not notice it on first sighting, but when you look close enough, you would observe the attention to detail that goes into different stitching patterns.
We have found that stitching comes down to women's personal styles and fashion type, so we don't try to tell you what to do here.
If it feels right to you, that is probably because it is the clear pick for you. Go for it.
