The Best Summer Watch Straps
Two of the most important questions to ask when deciding on your watch strap are the material and the colour. Not only do you want to ensure your watch looks great alongside your own personal style, you want to make sure it’s suitable for the activities you’ll be enjoying in the summer heat.
Cooling Summer Watch Strap Materials
Some watch bands are better suited for different activities and you need to keep this in mind when choosing your watch strap materials. It may look amazing on your wrist while dining al fresco, but if you’re going to be spending most of your time in the pool, you need to make sure you’ve chosen a waterproof material. Luckily, we have a great selection available for you to check out and find the best watch strap for hot weather.
Silicone
Our silicone watch straps are both long-lasting and comfortable, sitting perfectly alongside your sports watch. The soft and smooth material is perfect for warm weather and active lifestyles - they remain comfortable no matter how hard you’re pushing yourself. They’re also water-resistant and very easy to keep clean, as just a quick wipe with a damp soft cloth and some mild washing up liquid will have your watch strap looking as good as new. For more details, check out our handy guide.
Mesh
With added durability without compromising on comfort, our metal mesh straps are both long-lasting and sleek even in the warmest climates. The stainless steel mesh looks fantastic alongside your timepiece, taking you from 9 to 5 in the office to cocktails on the veranda. They’re also available in stainless steel, PVD gold, PVD rose gold and PVD black making them incredibly versatile when paired with an outfit.
Leather with a silicone lining
Much like our waterproof leather watch straps, summer is the best time to sport our leather watch straps with a silicone lining. They combine the classic style of a traditional watch strap with the convenience and functionality of a sports watch strap and they stay comfortable in the heat. Now you can look great whether you’re on the tennis court or enjoying sunset drinks by the sea.
Nylon
If you’re looking for something a little more breathable, then our nylon watch straps are for you. From the classic NATO design, to the surf-inspired hook and loop, these straps scream summertime and can be as understated or bold as your style demands.
