I like the rubber offering from these guys for my apple watch, not sure what kind of watch you are looking for a band for. Pretty much my Apple watch is my daily driver. A watch like my Breitling Bentley is reserved for nights out. Even with that watch, when it needed a new band, the replacement from Breitling was like $600 for a black leather band with white stitching. I found the same no-name band a the jewelers building in Boston and moved over the Bentley hardware/clasp.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was so dumb founded when I saw those other ones. My daily's a breitling navitimer B01, I just change the strap to dress up/down. I saw some of those Bentleys and they're beautiful. I remember one had some really wonderful stitching on it band. I was never a watch guy but I have a little more appreciation for them after some minor research. |
You could take a look at nylon bands, also. I've thought about that route for something more casual and durable.
