How often do you change watch bands?

[iAngelo]

Is it safe to change watch bands all the time? I want to change to a Nike sport band when I’m at work and leather link when I’m out. That means I’ll change band twice daily and I’m not sure if it will damage my watch after months of changing to different bands.

I change when the mood strikes me. (Or my sport loop needs washing.)

You’ll be just fine changing twice a day.

Twice a day is fine. You wont damage the watch doing that.

I have 76 bands so I change frequently. I keep my watches for two years and they still work fine.

I change them more frequently in the summer so I can wash the sport ones and let them dry. In the winter I don't change the bands as much

To echo others, if you’re wear a sport loop of any sort, you may need to change more frequently for washing. I rotate between the Nike Sport Loops and the Nike Sport bands. I keep one Nike Sport loop for workouts as I like the unlimited tightness. At work (recreation setting) I’ll opt for a Nike Sport band. Weekends may call for a leather band/loop or Milanese loop.

Frequent changing is fine… I change bands maybe 10 times a year, summer lighter colors, winter darker

I changed to match what I’m wearing so almost every day

I switch every night, solo loop during the day and sport loop while sleeping.
If I want something dressier I switch to a Milanese loop or a leather loop.

damn that is a lot of bands

 

[Cotypubby]

Every day. Last check I’m up to 122 bands!

 

[Ted Lasso]

I alternate between 3 at the minute, the charcoal, deep cherry, and abyss blue braided loops. I switch every so often to whatever I fancy that day.

 

[KindJamz]

I have never changed the band remove it occasionally for cleaning the latching mechanism

 

[circatee]

I change my band colours, based on what am wearing. So, I change them often...

 

[SisterBlue22]

I change bands every single day.

 

[ukms]

Most days 2 changes ...... from whatever I am wearing as my daily wear to a Nike band for exercise and back again after

 

[dancingonthefence]

There are lots of sporty combo of band and case. those are really rugged, I am using one all the time, never change

 

[xraydoc]

I change twice a day typically — Each morning I take off what I wore the day before and put on my workout solo loop (one size smaller than I wear to keep it snug while I run), then after my workout I put on what I’ll wear for the rest of the day.

Repeat this daily.

I’m now on my 7th watch and it’s never been a problem. Even the band that came with my first watch when I got the original watch on launch day I still wear periodically.
