Rubber watch straps have become an increasingly popular choice with discerning watch collectors and members of the horological community over the last several decades. There are a number of reasons for this, including pricing, the use of high-quality materials in their construction, and their overall durability, which other materials are not able to offer, especially for those with an active lifestyle.
With that in mind, we wanted to answer a question that we have often been asked but not answered during our previous blog posts. That question is, simply put, “Do rubber straps conform to your wrist after a certain point in time?”
Oftentimes, questions involving luxury watches have a lot of subjectivity involved in them and don’t always neatly fit into a “yes or no” answer kind of category. Thankfully, this is an instance in which there is a definitive answer to the question at hand. Below, we will not only provide the answer to our initial query about whether rubber straps conform to one’s wrist or not, but also explain why that happens to be the case.
Do Rubber Straps Conform To Your Wrist After a Certain Point in Time?
The answer to this question is, unequivocally, yes, they do conform to the wearer’s wrist, often within a relatively short amount of time. This contributes significantly to the overall comfort that people feel when pairing these types of straps with their luxury wristwatches.
That being said, it often goes unnoticed because it is a very subtle metric to measure. In other words, if your rubber watch strap is well made, it will gradually and naturally conform to fit the shape and size of your wrist. If your rubber watch strap is not conforming to your wrist, you may want to consider purchasing a higher-quality watch strap.
Why Do Well-Made Rubber Straps Conform To Your Wrist?
The reason for this is actually relatively simple to explain. Rubber, by its nature, is a fairly flexible material. When shaped into a certain fashion, it has a tendency to want to hold that shape for as long as possible, unless some force acts on it to reshape the material into a different design.
As was mentioned earlier, rubber watch straps of a lower quality will not conform as well to your wrist. This is because the rubber has not been vulcanized or modified in any kind of fashion. In order to achieve a state that is both flexible and durable, vulcanization provides the best results, resulting in a watch strap that is both soft to the touch and surprisingly sturdy in terms of its construction and durability.
