Do you like your strap to match your outfit, or contrast it?

[The Cockney Rebel]

Personally, I like to contrast my strap and what I'm wearing.

For example:

Black Gucci drivers
Blue denim shorts
Navy Ralph polo

I'd wear my starlight solo with this. Whereas I reckon many people would wear a navy/blue strap.

Accessorising.

What about you?

I have one strap for my Watch and the last thing I'll ever do is buy more of them and think about which one to use on any given day.

 

[Beards]

Not so much as ‘change the strap’ but I do change the colour of the watch face to match my shirt/jumper which is the closest clothing item to the watch.

 

[BillGates1969]

I always match if I have the strap or go for a contrast if I don't.

For example, I wear a navy strap with most blue and am currently wearing a product red strap as it is Christmassy. I wear sometimes green polo shirts and wear my orange straps with it and change my face to green

Yep, I do overthink it lol.

I match my band and watch face. And if I don’t have a one that matches I’ll wear a neutral band. Right now my go to neutral is starlight solo loop.

 

[MBAir2010]

ya know, I purchased a Maroon verge 2 trek mt bike in February
and promised my self I would get a matching :Apple: Watch band.
never did! :~?

 

[Jackbequickly]

Black Leather magnetic link everyday so I can wear what ever I want! It even looks good if I am naked!

 

[Student of Life]

I change them depending on the occasion, if its more formal i will go with a metallic band or my favorite a black and grey nato band.

 

[Shirasaki]

I only care about the strap color I like. Whether it fits with the rest of my outfit is the last thing I will care about, assuming I bother at all for whatever reason.

Same. Neutral strap and coloured face is my preference.

Nice to see you there, H.

Hope you’re ok.

 

[boss.king]

I have a few straps in colours I like and pretty much only swap them out after they get sweaty on a run. The only time I purposefully change the band for fashion reasons is when I use my one leather band for weddings.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I don’t give it any thought most of the time. Most of the time I use the same band.

 

[jz0309]

I don’t change bands very often, and for my Ultra I have the yellow, orange and midnight ocean bands, sometimes they match, then they contrast and then they do neither

I would match the strap with the little horse on your shirt!

 

[Wando64]

Considering the price of straps I found it’s much cheaper to buy loads of clothes to match my only strap.

 

[AlmightyKang]

I turned up to a funeral with a bright orange strap. No one said anything. Think you are ok.

This. Still rocking the red sports loop with my series 6. I stopped caring about that stuff while back, it’s liberating. lol.

 

[Sami13496]

Let’s see. I don’t have money left for decent clothes because Apple products are so expensive and I can’t use Windows or Android for obvious reasons. Also I had to buy a car because my lazy wife can’t walk to a grocery shop which is only like 3 kilometers away. Tells me it’s hard to go forward in 20cm snow every day with pram. I say it’s just being lazy. Whenever I go out its just to buy diapers and toilet paper wearing winter overalls smelling bad because I didn’t have time to shower. So yeah, I don’t have that problem. Love to read about your Guccis and Ralphs though.

 

[Thomas Davie]

Honestly, neither. I wear for comfort and functionality since I took medical retirement. I’ve got some Milanese type bands and some Solo loop types;but really the most comfortable ones I find are the stretchy Nylon ones that only cost a few $.

Black Apple Watch and Black milanese loop band, every day. I'm not a fashion obsessed person.

 

[InvertedGoldfish]

Commenting as a man, it’s never crossed my mind


Many of my nicer mechanical watches are on NATO straps or leather, my Apple Watch is on a fabric strap but I don’t wear it for anything formal


I’m a fan of less is more, my speedmaster on a nato looks much more serious and high end than one on the stainless bracelet (which I have…somewhere) as it looks like a watch worn by someone who has it as more than man jewelry

 

[circatee]

When I purchased my first Apple Watch, years ago, I wanted the bands to match my outfit.
However, over the past few years, I wanted a contrast, just like my socks don't match my outfit!

Within the past few months, I've noticed that I tend to stick to my two Nomad bands (cream/sand colour and the army green one)...

 

[Abazigal]

I just have one strap - the black / pink nike band that came with my series 5, which I have been using for pretty much everything. 😛

I wouldn't mind a bright orange strap, but unfortunately, I have resolved to wear only the nike sport band because of my tendency to sweat a lot and none of the other colours really strike my fancy at the moment. 😕

I don't care about coordinating my watch band, I keep the same band on all the time no matter what I'm wearing.
