If you find a watch that you like but you aren’t a fan of the band, you can purchase a different style watch straps. This is an option that is available for almost any watch if your strap or band were to break, or if you just aren’t a fan of it, you can take it to a professional and have them put on a different watch strap.

The Weight

Finally, think about the weight of the watch. This is going to have an effect on your comfort level. You are going to be wearing this watch everywhere, you might even wear it to bed.
