What Kind of Bands Can I Find on a Bulova Wrist Watch?

A great watch is more than just a pretty face — whether you're purchasing a Bulova or Concord Mariner watch, you also need a nice wristband! Let's explore three popular band materials.

Your first option is leather, a material known for its comfort, as well as its availability in a variety of finishes, including crocodile. The main downside to leather is that it is not very easy to clean and often requires special products.

Alternatively, many watch bands are also made of metal. These are usually linked bracelets available in gold, silver, stainless steel, etc. Linked bands are often customizable, allowing you to remove a couple of the smaller links to tighten the fit around your wrist.

Last, you can also find watches in a variety of funky or alternative materials from fabric and plastic to rubber and wood. Rubber, actually, has broken into the mainstream, and even some luxury watch designers have started mixing gold and diamonds with rubber. One watch in this style is the Bulova wrist watch BVA series men's black automatic, which features a rubber strap alongside rose gold and black ion plating.
