Watches fastened with a bracelet are an interesting alternative to models fastened with a traditional, leather strap. Do you want to know what the most popular types of watch bracelets are? If so, keep reading to find out.

Watch fastened with a bracelet means comfort and durability

A well-chosen watch bracelet is not only a unique accessory that will accentuate any outfit you choose to wear, but also a guarantee of comfort and safety. A right size of a bracelet can ensure that our model will not slip off the wrist and we will look good wearing it.

It is noteworthy that bracelets are more durable than leather straps. They do not wear through, do not need to be replaced and are expected to perform their function for many years. Leather is a material that absorbs odors and reacts badly to contact with moisture, causing deformation and discoloration. If you choose a bracelet, however, you can forget about these problems.

Watch bracelet - material matters

The first decision that a watch owner needs to make is to choose a type of bracelet material. This is especially important for people with allergies.

For people susceptible to allergies, bracelets made of hypoallergenic stainless steel and titanium are recommended. They will also work well for water sports enthusiasts as they are resistant to corrosion. Titanium bracelet models are lightweight so they don’t burden the wrist. You may even forget about wearing a watch at all.

Ceramic bracelets are characterized by their low weight, high resistance to scratches and UV radiation. Like titanium, they do not cause an allergic reaction. They do not fade and will look like new even after many years of use. They will surely appeal to everyone who cares about a stylish, aesthetic and comfortable accessory.
