No matter what the material of leather strap, are "consumables", because it is not strong, short service life, in general, usually can also use 2 ~ 3 years. Of course, it depends on how you wear it. If you wear it every day, it is estimated that you will have the longest life. All leather things are afraid of water, including sweat. Once soaked in water, the leather will become hard and brittle. In serious cases, it will become moldy and smelly. It is not easy to clean the leather strap after it is dirty. But the biggest damage to the leather strap is bending. Like the belt, the strap also needs to be pinned at a fixed position. When carrying and taking off the watch, it seems to be pulling and pulling. For a long time, it is most likely to crack and break when the strap is inserted into other holes and bent. Crocodile strap is not stronger than leather strap at all, and there are horizontal stripes on its surface. If the stripes just fall on the bending part of strap, it is easier to crack. The quality of the watch strap is very important to ensure the safety of the watch and not to lose it. Many leather watch straps that have been used for a long time are easy to open the glue, the deformation of the elastic connecting bolt and the dislocation of the clasp pin, which are the major hidden dangers of losing the watch.
In order to prolong the service life of the leather strap, the best way is to replace the "butterfly buckle". "Butterfly button" has the following advantages:
(1) to avoid the use of the watch strap bending.
(2) It's comfortable to wear, because it can connect two pieces of leather strap and watch together to form a ring, so it's very convenient to take and take off.
(3) It's safer to have a safety button.
(4) Because the component of the "butterfly buckle" is relatively long, it works well with the watch to support and control the watch on the wrist. The watch will not rotate left and right. It is especially suitable for watches with large diameter and thickness.
