Advantages and Disadvantages of the Watch Strap Material
We talk about those shortcomings so-called “good material” watch, or how to replace Watch Strap. I hope to give my friends some reference information.

Rubber material: comfortable and light but easy to aging

The word comes from the Indian language of rubber cau-uchu, meaning “tree of tears.” Natural rubber strap like people want to hear the advantages of this material, then we talk about the advantages, so that readers do not because they bought the rubber material of the watch and regret too.

Advantages: First, rubber strap definitely has its inherent advantages, rubber strap having more excellent abrasion resistance than leather and waterproof properties, flexible design flexibility, and the ability to fit perfectly with the case, but also light and comfortable to wear. Secondly, rubber strap color is very rich, to meet the different preferences of the wearer’s choice. Finally, since the rubber is completely waterproof, so much used in the diving and sports watches in the anti-sweat moisture has excellent characteristics.

Cons: First, when a rubber began to be used to watch, it gives a cheap feeling, no platinum, gold so noble and luxurious. Secondly, the material is concerned, rubber is very easy to aging, sunlight or strong oxidative are easy to make rubber cracked, sticky, hardening, softening, color and so on.

In addition, from time to time to clean silicone strap with a soft cloth to get rid of some of the hard texture of the dirt particles to prevent them from scratching the surface of silica produces a small gap, but also effectively extend the life of the strap.

Ceramic Material: Stylish but the fear of fall

He said ceramic, presumably Chinese people are very familiar with the long history of Chinese ceramics. That pure crushed material, shiny gloss, wear and corrosion-resistant properties, so that people ceramic favor for me. Although in love with color ceramics, its disadvantages we have to get to know the job. Preparation of traditional ceramics is defined by a mixture containing clay or clay by kneading, shaping, firing and made various articles, wherein the calcination is carried out at a specific temperature and atmosphere furnace. Ceramic table used in the high-tech ceramic is clearly prepared to go through a more sophisticated process.

Pros: There are several significant advantages of high-tech ceramic watch, one to wear lightweight, stainless steel, ceramic table probably lighter than 60%; the second is extremely resistant, it is much higher than the hardness of metal materials, unlike steel table and a gold watch as easily be scratched; Third, materials such as jade, not to hurt the skin feeling smooth and comfortable, will not cause skin irritation; Also add a stylish, bright as new, to know whether it is stainless steel and other traditional materials how processing can not exhibit pure black and pure white, but it is a long term high-tech ceramics.

Disadvantages: ceramic table as though they have many excellent gloss, high hardness, no rust discoloration, etc., but eventually had to face the high hardness fragile brought pain. First, a ceramic table afraid fell, hit hard things will be very fragile, so use should try to avoid collision and fall. Second, lipophilic, because Glaze lipophilic, high-tech ceramic coated with oil once it is difficult to handle, easy to clean but also to no avail. Third, because of its texture and color is still relatively simple, difficult to cut and polished, but also limits the watch style, is impossible to deal with all kinds of drawing polished, curved edges give it on. (Ruoguo ceramic bracelet watch case is dirty, lightly dirt with a soft brush, remove the dirt in the case of difficulty, the proper use some detergent, and finally wipe with a soft cloth.)

Belt Material: high-grade soft water but avoid

There are many different types of belt form, such as crocodile skin, leather, ostrich skin, lizard skin, usually we use the watch should be worn most common number of leather and crocodile leather strap.

Advantages: belt relative to the strip, the lightweight and convenient and upscale look, taste. In addition, according to different belt colors, to meet different customer base aesthetic or fashion or retro. As we all know, NOMOS masterpiece horse rump skin, its rugged leather strap is the most.

Disadvantages: on the one hand, the belt is the most taboo water, not a long time immersed in water, the water will cause the belt hard and brittle, which also includes people sweat. So do not go swimming in the table wearing a belt, hot tubs, saunas. On the other hand, long-term exposure to strong sunlight will make the belt table bleaching, accelerated aging of the cortex, it is not on the long-term exposure to sunlight. This last point is that everyone is a common, often strap in a fixed position is also prone to cracks, bending the bigger the strap easily broken, so do not pull the strap to wear.
