In winter, I believe many people have experienced trembling with the steel belt watch, so it is best to wear a belt watch in winter. Nowadays, the mainstream watch strap is divided into two main categories according to the material, namely metal watch strap and leather watch strap. Among them, the leather strap has a variety of colors and styles. The leather strap has always been popular with many watch friends. Although the leather strap looks beautiful and fashionable, it is difficult to maintain the leather strap, which is a personal pain for many watch fans. Many times, when I just bought the belt watch, it is not very comfortable to wear it even hard. So what should we do when we encounter these problems?
If it is a leather strap, it will be a bit stiff when worn. It is normal. The more you wear it, the more you will get your hands together. Like the new leather shoes we usually buy, when we first use them, they will feel a little numb, and it will be the same as the more we go through the journey. For the problem of hard belts, if you want to make them softer faster, rub them with your hands and then apply some oil to protect the belt, otherwise it will crack. If you don’t have a hurry, there is no need, because it will take some time to get your hands to adapt to the belt. In addition, you can also choose soft belt styles when choosing a watch, such as sheepskin or calfskin-head leather belt style watches.
There is a shaping layer in the leather strap, which is used to prevent the strap from being too easily deformed. After wearing it for a long time, the belt watch will slowly soften and form a shape of your own wrist. This shape varies according to the weight and size of each person. That shape is because of the result of you wearing it for a long time. This shape is the most comfortable strap. By this time, the strap will almost be fixed. So, when you find that the strap is a bit hard, don’t rush to replace the strap, give yourself some time, and give the strap some time. Otherwise, you need to change to a new belt and adapt to the shape of the belt again.
There are the following suggestions for watch belts:
1. Do not bend the strap when hardening, and replace the strap in time is also absolutely necessary.
2. It is recommended that you wear a belt watch only in winter. It is easy to sweat in summer. The salt in sweat will accelerate the aging of the watch belt. If you can not wear it in winter, you will not wear it. If you have two watches at home, it is best to wear a belt watch in winter and a metal watch in summer. If you really want to wear it, you must wipe the sweat dry before wearing it to extend the service life of the leather strap.
3. There are many types of belt materials, and the common ones include crocodile skin, lizard skin, ostrich skin , shark skin, calf skin and sheepskin. No matter which belt is worn for a long time, it will produce a odor. Therefore, keeping it dry is the best way to maintain the belt.
4. It is best not to bend or even fold the belt at a large angle, otherwise it is easy to burst. In addition, the belt can also relatively extend its service life under a ventilated environment.
