That is the target. I get that feeling with the apple watch weave braided band and some leather straps. Bracelets are less comfortable.
Huh ...I sleep with my watches on...straps, bracelets...all comfortable.
Bracelets vary widely in terms of comfort, very hard to generalize. A really great bracelet can be extremely comfortable, a cheap bracelet much less so.
Fabric straps are probably the most comfortable, at least when dry. My most comfortable strap is an Erika’s Original MN, which looks kinda like a nylon nato strap but it is elastic and hugs the wrist gently. A decent nato strap is comfy too.
I haven’t personally found an extremely comfortable rubber strap but some people swear by them. Rubber handles being wet very well.
I’m enjoying vintage style Horween leather right now as the weather cools down, they feel soft and natural against my skin. In hot weather though they get clammy.
So the bottom line is I think comfort depends on a lot of variables, but if I had to pick just one type and comfort was the only consideration, I’d go MN style.
Well what about bracelets ?
Steel mesh is my favorite. Versatile, breathable and good in any weather.
But the look is not versatile i think !
To each his own, of course. My attire is business casual and casual/suburban dad so a heavy mesh works for most occasions. That being said, I think I wear bracelets, mesh, and leather at 20/40/40% respectively.
Depends on the watch tho
