I'm not really saving anything - I have a summer house at a lake and I'm in the water quite often so I wear the ocean band in the summer - it seems most secure in the water compared with the other bands I own.
Nope all my straps are worn year round. Except for NFL straps, the Niners strap is not worn offseason except for NFL Draft and preseason.
But I generally reserve my leather straps like leather links, modern buckles or the Hermes double tour replica for nicer occasions, but I do
wear them when I feel like it.
