Instead of discarding the old watch, we can refresh it by replacing its strap, saving money while preserving the watch we love.
Time is a great healer; some things improve while others become outdated. Wristwatches are no exception. When you first buy one, you're excited to wear it—whether strolling on the streets or going to work, you always feel delighted. However, after a while, boredom sets in and you end up stowing them away in a drawer, even if they remain intact or only have a few minor scratches. At that point, you might long to buy a new watch.
But what if you could maintain your inspiration for that watch? You might doubt it, saying it’s impossible because wearing the same watch on your wrist forever is truly dull. Let us help you: a simple solution to this problem is to replace the watch strap. Nowadays, changing a watch strap is very easy, especially for leather straps. At SAIGIO, you’ll find many types of leather straps; we constantly update with new trendy designs in various sizes. See more product details here.
To avoid boredom, replace the watch strap you’re using
You might be thinking, why go through the hassle of changing a watch strap when we can simply buy a new watch? Take a look at our 6 reasons below, and you’ll change your mind.
Saving Money
Surely you'll agree with us on this. Opting to replace the watch strap helps your wallet suffer less than buying a completely new watch. To illustrate, let’s make a small comparison. A premium watch may cost at least 5 million VND, whereas you only need to spend 1 million VND to own a quality leather strap.
Flexibility to Change Your Style
When you own a collection of various watch straps, you can effortlessly change your style. You'll find this variety far more exciting than wearing the same watch with one type of strap every day. When at work, you look very elegant with the watch featuring a brown premium EPSOM leather strap. When out with friends or on a picnic, you’ll have a truly distinctive look with the watch sporting a vintage yellow cowhide leather strap. And with many other strap designs in different colors available, you're completely free to choose.

Better Quality
Simply put, a watch not only helps you keep time but also elevates your style. Why should you reluctantly wear a watch you’re not fond of just because it was bought by chance or given as a gift, when you can completely control replacing its strap? Depending on your wrist size, you can choose a strap that is more suitable, beautiful, and durable with higher quality.
Wearing a watch with a strap that is too tight or of poor quality can harm your wrist. Meanwhile, a strap that is too loose is more likely to get banged or fall off. Therefore, replacing it with a high-quality, well-fitting watch strap is absolutely essential. We also have a detailed guide on how to choose a watch strap; you can refer to it here.

Eco-Friendly
By changing the strap, you avoid wasting an old watch that would otherwise clutter a corner or end up in the trash. Moreover, a watch strap isn’t limited to just one watch. Depending on the size of the watches you own, you can swap straps between several watches or even exchange them with family or friends. This approach not only diversifies your watch styles and strengthens bonds, but also helps protect the environment.

Emotional Value
A watch represents time; it serves as a reminder of everything in life. Perhaps that’s why watches are often chosen as gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations… And even more so, it might be an heirloom passed down from grandparents or parents. These seemingly ordinary objects can sometimes carry extraordinary significance, symbolizing the bonds of love among family or friends. For that reason, we should replace the watch strap rather than letting them remain forgotten in a corner forever.
