As one of the leading creators of custom rubber watches straps, Rubber B continually strives to make the world of horology interesting, accessible, and relevant to the everyday consumer. This means that continual education is one of our ongoing goals, and one of the platforms where that idea is most visibly realized is on our blog posts.
We often alternate between pieces that focus on important recent developments within the world of horology, deep dives into the history of watchmaking, and technical articles that help to explain to laypeople how watches actually work. Our goal has always been to craft content that is well-rounded and helps you come away feeling more informed about your watch, and how to properly care for it.
For this post, we are going to take a closer look at different types of watch straps, as well as the best ways to clean and care for them are. Ironically enough, Rubber B has covered a plethora of topics in our previous posts, and yet somehow, this particular one slipped by us. As a result, it only makes sense that we would spend a little time helping you to get to know your watch straps better.
How Many Different Types of Watch Straps Are There?
In most instances, watch straps fall into one of three distinct categories: rubber, nylon, or leather. In our humble opinion, the rubber strap is the most reliable strap, as well as the most environmentally friendly one to produce. A properly made rubber watch strap is not only specially designed to weather the elements and is 100% vulcanized, but it also does not involve the harming of animals in any form, making it both the most sustainable and cruelty-free option when purchasing a watch strap.
What is The Best Way to Clean and Maintain Your Rubber Watch Strap?
Before we even get into the how-to of cleaning your rubber watch strap, it should certainly be noted that of the three types of watch straps we mentioned previously, there’s an added bonus to having a rubber watch strap for your timepiece. Of all three of the materials that we mentioned, rubber is, by far, the easiest to clean and maintain, especially over long periods of time.
Once the strap has been washed, simply dry it off and allow it to dry in a cool space, out of direct sunlight. If you are not active, this should be done once a week or so. If you exercise with your watch, then it is important that you clean your rubber watch strap daily.
