Replacement watch bands can be found on the Internet ranging in price, size, quality, color, and style. A person will be able to choose the material the band is made from and the type of fit. Some materials include exotic, sport, metal, and fabric. Leather watch bands are the most popular type that people purchase. Genuine exotic include alligator, crocodile, shark, snake, lizard, ostrich, and pigskin. Measurements are available on some jewelry sites online. A measurement strip can be printed and then used to measure the wrist. When choosing a band for a watch a person should look at the piece itself and try to find one that matches it well. Online jewelers also offer watches, rings, pendants, accessories, and choices of items that include gemstones and are made from platinum, stainless steel, and white gold. An alligator narrow strip or band comes in different colors. The wide width ones are usually for men's watches and the narrow ones are for women and children. Some of the colors include brown, green, blue, red, purple, white, and pink. Exotic alligator strips come in more colors than other exotic choices.

Many merchants offer customer service and an 800 number to contact a representative to help with issues such as size and style.
Popular leather strips are braided oftentimes with color variations. The color combinations vary and often include green with brown, beige with brown, red or pink with brown, and blue with brown. Leather watch bands are often the most popular because they usually last longer and hold up better than other materials do. Other choices that include leather also have fabric. These may have brighter color variations that include red and yellow as well as other colors. Some of the fabrics are made from nylon and suede. "Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate" (Ezekiel 27:16). Products and merchandise are mentioned in the Bible especially as being popular with certain merchants.
Metal expansion strips come in gold-tone, stainless steel, and two-tone with both. The two-tone may include black and stainless steel or rose gold and stainless steel, as well as other choices. A black and stainless steel strip would go well with a watch face that is stainless steel. Replacement watch bands that come in metal include other variations as well. The metal expansion strips are often popular because they can go on over the wrist with ease and they have some room to expand so they provide a good fit. There are usually a large inventory of metal strips that come in either gold tone or silver.
For a sports piece there are strips that are waterproof. Many sports bands are made out of rubber and are adjustable as well as flexible. These types of replacement watch bands come in a multitude of colors. The most popular color is black with a silver buckle where the attachment is. Some of the sports pieces have a strip made from fabric and Velcro. These can be taken off and put in the washer under delicate wash but do not dry them because the material might shrink. Kids like the sports strips with Velcro because they are easy to put on and take off. Sports strips with Velcro are also very lightweight and often can be matched up with any type of piece. The most popular color for these is black but other colors are available as well and some come in two-tone colors.
Online jewelers may also include hole punchers to extend a band, link removers, polishing cloths, screwdrivers and other tools, as well as leather treatments for leather watch bands. Link removers work well for metal strips and the hole puncher works well on leather pieces. Treatments can make leather clean and shiny and polishing cloths can help to shine up metal pieces. Before purchasing bands online a person should have the knowledge to attach the face to the strip. This will depend upon the type of watch face and the strip that is chosen. Kits can also be purchased to change out batteries and help when changing bands.
Different clasps to choose from include butterfly, diver, and flip. These are mostly for metal bands. Leather watch bands normally have the strap with holes making them adjustable. A piece that needs a new strip will probably be easier to replace if it is similar to the previous one that was on it. For a completely new type of band a person might want to see a jeweler to find out if it will work with the style of the watch. A measurement of the watch face where the strip connects would be beneficial with a replacement. Some jewelers online offer colorful collections when purchasing bands. This makes it possible for having a different color for various outfits and they usually appeal widely to women. A man might prefer different tones of browns and blacks that are offered in a collection. A search online for replacement watch bands will reveal lots of choices.
