Inspired by Marc. LOL :D Just wondering about others. I have a preference for rubber myself and then leather/exotic. But some watches are just right for a metal bracelet like say the Kenzo Nautilus or Gevril Seacloud. How about the rest of you WIS? ;) |

Same for me, although it does kinda depend on the watch. If had a few divers I actually preferred on rubber... |

I like SS, But prefer to wear rubber. Feels more comf. and dont have to worry about those pesky dive desk scratches. |

For the most part metal...but, it really depends on the watch. |

I like the SS for sure, rubber does not agree with my sweat glands, (maybe TMI?). |

WHile SS will always be my favorite... I am finding that i enjoy more and more of my watches on Rubber... almost like I have a couple that I keep always on bracelet... and all the others go on Rubber/Kevlar or even leather... |

I voted Metal, as I have always prefered metal bracelets, but recently I have been wearing my Doxa on a leather strap, and really like it. I think it's gonna be hard to go back. Regards Graeme |

Depends on the watch. Divers and other "sporty" stuff - silicone first, rubber second, SS third (because it never fits "perfectly" due to variance in wrist diameter as temp changes). Dress - leather. |

Tricky...I was going to say metal but I find myself envisioning my watches in rubber more and more. Go figure. There seems to be a larger variety of stitching colours with rubber as well as rubber colours and hopefully more patterns will come out too. I think I'm going to have to go with Rubber as my favourite choice of strap. |

I sweat like a pig, so my leather usually starts to develop a gym sock aroma after awhile. I prefer rubber then SS then leather. Leather straps look cool though. I take my rubber into the shower with me and use an old toothbrush with conditioning shampoo and scrub away. usually the rubber comes out new, black and shiny. |

Nothing beats a sweet leather strap. Soft, thick and oh so comfy. |

Rubber and nylon first, Gnomon's DiverTec is my favorite strap, then Zulus/NATO, then steel, lastly leather. I don't like deployants that much, so after just a couple wearings leather looks beat up around the buckle to me, drives me nuts! Cheers, Griff |

I prefer Stainless Steel. My dress watch has a leather strap and my G-Shock has a resin band, but my strong preference is for Metal. I really like the drip dry nature of SS. I like the heft, and since my preference is for divers.... well, you get the picture. --Steve |

I prefer SS unless the unless the strap has curved ends to fit the case, I cant stand the gap between straps and case, to me it gives any watch a cheap look. |

It totally depends on the watch to me...for example, I did not like my Hammy Khaki Aviation on metal so I switched it to a Hirsch leather and love it. Didn't care for my SKXA35 on rubber or leather, but it's great on an SS Oyster. Couldn't imagine either of my D Minks or my Oris Williams F1 on anything other than rubber! Some will adapt to anything....to me they are all comfortable (unless it's one of those crappy Seiko rubber straps!) |

I wear metal most of the time due to leather would not hold up to the punishment. Nylon straps are my second most favorite when it just has to work. Rubber comes in third and is the go to when spending any time in salt watter. I personally hate changing out spring metal pins on the 316 bracelets every 6 or so months of heavy diving. Leather is my go to for the office, comities, nights out, time at home, or my personal favorites those Holiday parties and special events. It depends on the use always. |

I usually wear SS but I am beginning to lean towards a thick leather band more and more. Depends on the watch because it really changes the whole look of the watch. |

Never thought I would like rubber but I have 4 or 5 now and I'm really liking them. Don't think I could choose though, I think it really depends on the watch. |
