I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690916 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 05:59:55 +0000 Astrid 1690916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida and Staysfit! More love for the light blue... I ended up ordering the dark blue. I know it's going to be the most neutral pick after black and I think I'd prefer that for now. The black one I have is frayed and I don't like that, but I realised I don't particularly want to go for expensiv experiments right now either. But it was interesting to read all your votes. :)</p> <p>Angie, and they look great on you! I went for the safe choice anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690867 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 02:36:57 +0000 Angie 1690867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I wear bright green specs year round. Enough said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690794 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 23:43:24 +0000 Staysfit 1690794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the light blue. I think it pairs well with all the colors you mentioned. I also kind of like the royal blue, but I'm not sure that would work as well with your wardrobe. It's a pretty color though.</p> <p>Looking at all the responses, it's a bit confusing! Too bad it's not a watch with exchangeable bands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690786 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 23:30:39 +0000 Aida 1690786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The light blue jumped out at me right away! Will be great with denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690779 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 23:13:12 +0000 Astrid 1690779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually Skylurker, this is useful. I always thought about the colors in relation to my wardrobe, but it makes sense to think of them like this, too. I agree about #2 and #4 not working with silver. Your harsh with the bright colors, but it's true that they have a bit of a crayon vibe. I do agree about the dark brown and black being typical colors for men's watches... Not sure I would add the dark blue to that. Maybe, thinking of some of the posts with wristshots you see in mechanical watch forums (where most members are men). I know the green doesn't work for me. The cognac is a bit too warm too, the only "brown" I feel drawn to in the rest of my wardrobe is taupe. Going back and forth on the burgundy... I do think I'll order the dark blue. A men's watch strap for a men's watch. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn. I think I'm going to be happiest with a neutral... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690776 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:57:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1690776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark blue or the brown (no 7). But no 6 and 11 are nice too. All very neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690772 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:39:56 +0000 skylurker 1690772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, I'm aware this is so irrational it can't be useful, but here are my impressions :<br /> #7,12,13 : classic man watch<br /> #6,10,11 : classic woman watch<br /> #8,16,19,22,23 : bright coloured watches for children (I'm sure Angie will approve this comment ;)<br /> #2,4 : don't feel them with a silver watch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690769 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:27:04 +0000 Astrid 1690769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks BrieN! These pics are from a different online store. I plan to order in a store where I can pick the hardware color myself, so I can go with all colors and pick the silver. They just don't have all the colors pictured in full, only the picture I posted in the beginning. That's why I googled for more pics where you can see the colors and came across these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690765 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:21:27 +0000 BrieN 1690765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It appears that the bands have different color hardware from the photos you've recently added. Is there an option to choose your hardware or is it fixed by band color? I wouldn't mix the metals. I like the royal blue band as it would &nbsp;bring just a little color to &nbsp;your outfit, is fairly season neutral, and from what I can see it has the silver hardware. &nbsp;The dark blue is shown with gold hardware on the photo.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690755 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:54:42 +0000 Astrid 1690755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Xtabay. I don't think a white strap is my thing. I do like cognac.</p> <p>Thanks Jaileen. I don't think that a nylon strap quite fits the style of the watch, it's a dresswatch after all. Others might disagree... Oh and the changing is not a problem, I can change a leather strap myself in 10 seconds (I have this tool they are using in the store too, bought it for 3€ or so). It's more that I don't want to buy another one in two or three months time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690748 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:47:15 +0000 JAileen 1690748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you thought about a nylon watchband? They are easy to change out. I recently bought a watch with one. That way, you could have a summer and a winter band. The other advantage of nylon is it's pretty long lasting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690744 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:40:20 +0000 Anonymous 1690744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd probably try to find a white band.&nbsp; Or else, cognac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690742 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:39:09 +0000 Astrid 1690742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jen<br /> Yellow is just not good for my coloring and I guess I never liked it enough to try to make it work. </p> <p>@Angie<br /> Thanks - I actually thought about the light blue, because I think it would look really pretty with the silver and white of the watch. But to me that would be a summer look? I can't quite imagine how it would translate to my fall and winter style.</p> <p>@ElCee<br /> Thanks. Now I'm undecided again...</p> <p>@DonnaF<br /> Agree, it's so annoying. A friend I asked suggested one of the browns, too. But I don't really wear brown anymore, not even in accessories...</p> <p>ETA<br /> More pics of the colors. I think the colors in #2 are too saturated. Leaning towards the dark blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690697 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 19:06:45 +0000 DonnaF 1690697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or the brown or cognac. . .I hate it when you really can't trust online color representation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690666 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 17:57:06 +0000 El Cee 1690666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A dark blue is fabulous (either #12 or even the cobalt #23). I do not think you could go wrong with those choices. I also love the bordeaux color, which also can work well as a dark neutral.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690661 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 17:51:35 +0000 Angie 1690661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be a devil and suggest red or light blue. A nice juxtaposiotin with your dark neutral wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-watch-strap#post-1690627 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:23:18 +0000 Anonymous 1690627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Cobalt is a lovely blue and lol, on the yellow!

And I agree about the bordeaux, if it would really look that way IRL. I tried to look for some pics and it looks to be a kind of reddish brown or muted red? </p>
