What is your preferred wrist band for a watch, tracker, etc I hate the default silicone straps most cheaper watches and fitness trackers come with and metal catch and pull my arm hair . What are some wrist band types folks like on their preferred arm piece? Currently I have a nylon braid style wrist band on my Fitbit charge. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/4/4/a440f1848337fee880141ff23ace170befe1f125.jpeg) ---

I like tropical rubber straps and sailcloth straps for watches. ---

Stainless bracelet or leather, but I’ve been wearing Gshocks mostly as of late so that’s some kind of plastic. FKM rubber is also goated, I have one for my modified Seiko SRPD and I love it. I just don’t wear it as much because I dinged 2 yo-yos on it and didn’t wanna make it a hat trick, so I just wear my vehicles more often than not now ---

Ohh neat I’ve now hit a new kind of rabbit hole with a conversion kit for my Fitbit to 18mm bands and sailcloth and fin rubber straps. I guess for my watch too but I don’t even know where that is. (Somewhere in my office) ---

I have heard mixed things about sailcloth. Some say it’s too stiff and never breaks in, others say it’s the greatest strap material ever conceived ---

I mostly alternate between metal bracelet and a deployant silicone band on my watch but throw on a NATO strap from time to time. ---
