How to care for a metal bracelet?
There are many types of metal bracelets, and different types have different care methods. So how should metal bracelets generally be maintained? Below, I will share methods for metal bracelet care, which watch enthusiasts can use as a reference.
Metal Bracelet Maintenance Guide
Tungsten steel bracelets have a greater specific gravity and feel weighty. Their biggest advantage is scratch resistance, while the downside is that some bracelets of this type are prone to weld failure and breakage, and they are also vulnerable to drops. Tungsten steel bracelets should be protected from impacts and excessive pulling or twisting forces.
Lower-grade bracelets are so-called "hollow-core", being thinner and lighter, generally formed by bending stainless steel sheets. In contrast, solid-link bracelets are thicker and have more heft, with links connected by pins.
Gold-plated or "stainless steel + gold-plated" type bracelets are mainly vulnerable to wear and scratches. Once damaged, they cannot be repaired, especially near the clasp where they easily rub against desk surfaces, causing the plating to fade faster. It is recommended to wear them only in summer or switch to a leather strap in winter.
Gold or gold-plated bracelets should avoid contact with chemicals containing mercury. Keep a sweat-absorbing cloth glove handy for regular surface wiping. Some white gold bracelets have a rhodium-plated surface and should not be polished, otherwise the base colour will show through and turn yellow.
How to choose a metal bracelet?
1, Precious metal bracelets
Including platinum, yellow gold, etc., belonging to high-end watch specifications,
Note here that when sizing the bracelet, make sure to count the links carefully and avoid any being withheld, as individual links are not only difficult to match but also expensive.
2, Electroplated bracelets
Featuring the lustre of precious metals, especially gold-plated products, which are used in some high-end products.
Electroplating acts as an anti-oxidation coating which extends the product's lifespan, though wear resistance is an issue. If not worn frequently, it is recommended for selection.
3, Stainless steel bracelets
Stainless steel here is actually a general concept, generally offering strong oxidation resistance. It can be understood as stainless steel. Its bracelet is mainly relatively inexpensive, feels great in the hand, and has a masculine appearance.
