Summer is here, how should you wear a leather strap watch?

　　Leather strap watchIt has more style and character than a stainless steel bracelet watch, but summer is not a suitable time to wear it because leather strap materials easily absorb moisture and dirt. Especially since sweating is easy in summer, the chances of leather strap watches developing odours and stains increase significantly. When a leather strap remains in a damp environment frequently, its hardening process accelerates, and sweat stains will also erode the strap, causing it to deform. Once the strap hardens, it may even fracture, thereby causing the watch to be dropped, damaged, or lost.

　　So how can you better clean and maintain your leather strap in the summer? Below are some maintenance methods for leather straps provided for your reference.

　　1. If the leather strap produces an odour, you can use a toothbrush dipped in some soapy water to quickly scrub the stained areas, and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. It should be noted that to prevent soapy water from seeping into the leather, the entire process is best kept within 20 seconds.

　　2. You can choose medicinal alcohol and spray it onto the leather strap, which allows odours to be eliminated quickly. Doing this three times can permanently eliminate odours, and it also comes with disinfecting, moisture-proofing, mildew-proofing, and mould-removing properties without harming the leather strap. If the strap odour is very severe, you can directly submerge the strap into alcohol, take it out quickly, wipe it with a towel, and leave it to dry.

　　3. You can spray perfume onto the strap because the strap itself is absorbent, and the scent of the perfume can allow the strap to retain a pleasant aroma for a relatively long time.

　　4. Try to avoid direct contact between the strap and water. If it accidentally gets wet, you can choose to wipe it dry or let it dry naturally before wearing it (do not tumble dry or apply heat). Try not to fold it backwards to avoid damaging the leather. When sleeping, you can place the strap in a well-ventilated area to keep it air-dried.

　　5. Do not wear a leather strap watch constantly; it is best to have two watches to wear alternately, which can reduce wear, pulling during wear, and excessive use, while also giving the leather strap a moderate rest and breathing time.

　　Here we will also introduce the basic methods for distinguishing the quality of watch leather straps.

　　(1) High-quality straps are often sewn with thread on both sides, whereas low-grade ones use glue to bond them; such straps are prone to unbonding when exposed to water.

　　(2) Regarding the leather strap stitching craftsmanship, high-quality straps have neat stitching without rough loose threads, smaller stitch holes, and relatively even stitching.

　　(3) Regarding the leather surface, high-quality straps use very fine materials with clear grain and natural lines. In contrast, lower-quality leather materials are often processed leather with a poorer texture.
