Changed mine today, and it feels like a new watch.

I have about 10 straps, but tend to stick to the solo loops.

Wearing the sunglow yellow, which is a really nice pastel colour.
 
I have sports loop in several colours and I find it easier keeping them looking clean and new if I wash them before they have time to pick up and ingrain dirt which means changing them once a week. On an Ultra.
 
Usually every two weeks or so. I use sport loops because they are so comfy. I usually change when it's time to put the current band into the washing machine. In summertime maybe once a week.
 
I voted that I tend to wear that same strap everyday... since I have the Apple Watch Ultra and my choices have been pretty limited. Tons of bands from previous watches, I just don't like the way the bands for the smaller watches fit the Ultra.

Same here but I LOVE the ocean bands. The older bands have some play on the Ultra so I stopped wearing them.
 
I usually stick with the same band for a week or two at a time unless I am wanting a specific strap for working out or for dining out.

When I first got my Watch (first gen, 2015), I'd change bands often - daily or at least weekly...

I upgrade my watch every couple of years... and a couple of years ago I bought a few of the leather magnetic bands... I love them - I have 2 and swap between them every now and again, but mostly use the black one.

I use apples velcro strap and it is by far my favorite so far with no irritation and incredibly adjustable. No reason to change straps for me because frankly Im not superficial about the look and it accomplishes all my functional requirements perfectly.

Black nike band for everyday use since I workout at least 4-5 times a week. Then change based on occasions and outfits.

less often now as it's hard to get really comfortable. the trail loop for me seems the best option for comfort.
 
I never change mine. I have three watches and they all have the Apple leather magnetic link bands....midnight on my S8 gold SS and S8 aluminum and ink on my S7 blue watch. I love them. I like the watch snug on my wrist without movement and that's what they provide.

I used to swap with my AW3, after I upgrade to AW6 couple years Back, I have been using the same band.
I use REd sportloop band, it is perfect for my AW6 RED.
 
I usually keep wearing my braided solo loop. For formal occasions I switch to the milanese band (which is very seldom) and for running (if I have the time for it every second day) I use a Nike sport band as that one is much easier to clean.
