Watch Strap Review: ULLCHRO Genuine Leather Watch Strap

Sometimes affording a new watch from a premium brand is no small feat. Fortunately, there are low-cost ways to spiff up your watch collection. I recently noticed that the strap of my old Tissot Carson was deteriorating and no longer fully securing my watch. I tried a stopgap fix with fabric glue, but that just made a mess.  Then I started searching Amazon. I found this ULLCHRO Genuine Leather Watch Strap with alligator grain, stainless steel buckle, and soft brown rubberized calfskin.

The 19mm wide strap fit my watch perfectly. At 200mm long, the strap also fit my wrist fairly well. There's not much room to spare, but the original strap was similarly proportioned.

The strap has a quick release spring bars for easy installation and easy strap swaps in the future. I like the simple but ornate buckle design that evokes the shape of a shield.

This was a nice little upgrade to my old watch, it was easy to do, and it was very affordable. You can check out the ULLCHRO Genuine Leather Watch Strap here on Amazon with my affiliate link.

Watch Workshop: Fitting a George Watch with a brand new Strap

This is another neat looking cheap watch from Walmart. It's a George brand watch.  It has a black dial, black case, a black fluted bezel, a dark crystal, and red/orange hands and markers.  It does have sub-dials, but they are just for decoration.  The watch came with a black metal bracelet, but it didn't fit me well (too big) and it was a little too shiny for my taste.

I opted for an inexpensive strap from a company called Niziruoup. They say it is a nylon elastic parachute-style watch band that is French paratrooper style. That's a lot to put on a $9.99 watch strap.  But, you can see it here on Amazon. I opted for the 22mm width and it fit this inexpensive watch perfectly.  The watch was about $12 or $13 at Walmart so the combo was less than $25.

Since the strap has elastic, it's a bit more flexible than the typical ballistic nylon straps I usually use.  It was comfortable for all day wear.
