Depending on the type of leather used, watch straps vary widely in durability, appearance, feel, and price. In this guide, we’ll explore all major types of leather watch straps to help buyers, brands, and wholesale customers make informed decisions when sourcing or manufacturing leather straps.
1. Full Grain Leather Watch Straps
