One of the biggest advantages of metal watch bands is that they are durable and have a long service life, and if there are scratches, they can be treated and restored to as good as new after treatment. This is why most people are willing to wear watches with metal straps. The disadvantages are: one is afraid of sweat, two is afraid of collision, three is afraid of discoloration. The watch band as a direct contact with the skin part, due to the length of use, use habits and environment, more or less will produce dirt, metal watch band in contact with sweat without timely treatment, easy to accumulate dirt and thus lead to wear and corrosion of the situation, this situation is easy to dirty clothing or even make the wearer's skin allergies.

Compared with other materials, leather straps are less likely to harm skin and clothing.
