We get a lot of questions here at the Basic Bands watch strap blog, and often that question is about which watch strap color goes with which color watch dial or type of watch. If you’re wondering about that too, we’re here to help.
For starters, check out our style guide interview with Crown & Buckle CEO Thomas Lathrop. If you are new to changing your watch band, we also have tips on how to pick out the correct watch strap, watch strap tools and an online presence on Amazon where we have listed popular brands and types of commonly bought watch straps, like basic leather, NATO or canvas watch straps, cases and tools.
It’s not possible to list every watch type and style and the colors and types of straps that go well with them, so we’ve started Pinterest boards to give you more inspiration. Other sources of watch strap ideas include Reddit’s r/Watchbands and Instagram.If you don’t use Pinterest, you can find images by clicking on tags in the sidebar or using the Inspiration category at the top of the page.
Here are some common types, colors or styles of watches and links to inspiration for them. We will add more as we get enough examples to post.
