As with clothing or footwear, there’s a real difference in quality. Straps made of low-end silicone or flimsy rubber wear out much faster. Conversely, models made from fluoroelastomer —a more robust and wear-resistant material—last much better over time. It’s a bit like a quality pair of sneakers that lasts for years versus an imitation that wears out quickly.
When should you worry?
These small pieces falling off are not necessarily a warning sign. Rather, it is a natural way for the bracelet to “age.” On the other hand, if you notice significant deterioration , marked cracks or skin irritations , it is time to replace your bracelet.
5 simple tips to extend the life of your bracelet
Clean it regularly : A little warm water and mild soap are enough. No need to use harsh products.
Alternate straps : If you have more than one, change them from time to time. This spreads out the wear.
Avoid excessive friction : Be careful when typing or wearing tight-fitting clothing around the wrists.
Remove it in the shower or at night : This helps prevent stagnant moisture under the bracelet.
Invest in quality : In the long run, a better-made strap will cost you less than several cheap models.
A daily detail not to be overlooked
We tend to underestimate these small everyday elements, but a damaged strap can become uncomfortable, even irritating. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can easily prevent your watch from crumbling like an old door seal
