Watch Bands
Watch bands are one of those day to day items we barely notice until, of course, it breaks and we need a new one. Then finding a suitable replacement is not as easy as you would hope.
More and more High Street jewellers are closing, so unless you happen to have a watch repair stall in your local market buying a new one can be a real pain. You will often find yourself having to travel to another town to buy one. Even then, the selection you get to choose from is not all that good. Jewellers, like most other businesses, try to keep the stock that they carry to a minimum. The less money they have tied up in stock the better it is for cash flow. It also helps to keep their business insurance down.
Buying Watch Bands Online
Luckily, there is an answer. Nowadays, there are quite a few jewellery websites that carry watch bands. There are even quite a few websites that sell nothing but watchstraps. Some of these sites are really specialist, stocking only top end straps, or vintage watchstraps. No matter what kind of watchstrap you want, you will find it on the web. However, there is almost too much choice, which can make finding exactly what you want really time consuming.
Tips for Buying Watch Bands on the Web
Fortunately, being careful with the search terms you use can considerably speed up the process of finding the exact strap you need. If you want exactly the same strap as you have now searching for your make and model of watch and adding the term, +watchstrap, +watch bands or +watchbands works well. It narrows down the list of websites you need to look at.
Likewise, if you want a specific type of watchstrap you can narrow down your search term that way. E.g leather, elasticated, metal or childrens watch bands. The sites you get back should stock a range of the kind of watchstraps you are looking for. If you want, a certain brand put the brand name into your search term or go direct to the manufacture’s website.
