Many padded watch straps feature a contrasting color lining – typically soft, absorbent genuine leather like suede or nubuck. This further enhances their luxury appearance and can help with longevity, especially if the watch is subjected to excessive perspiration and exposure to environmental factors.
Traditional watch straps are made with rigid materials that press against the wrist creating pressure points that can hurt and irritate the skin. The textured padding in a padded watch strap evenly distributes the weight of the watch on the wrist, eliminating pressure points and making it comfortable to wear all day long. Correct strap sizing is crucial for the perfect fit of any padded strap. Ensure that the strap matches the lug width of your watch, and measure your wrist circumference above the wrist bone to determine the proper length.
