Instead of discarding an old watch, we can refresh it by changing the watch strap, saving money while keeping 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Time is a great healer; some things improve while others become outdated.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 that watch—whether strolling around or going to work, you feel delighted wherever you are. However, after a while, boredom sets in and you end up tucking it away in a drawer, even if it remains intact or only has a few minor scratches. At that point, you might long to buy a new watch.
But what if you could keep the inspiration for that watch alive? You might doubt and say it’s impossible because wearing the same watch forever is truly dull. Let us help you—a simple solution to this problem is changing the watch strap. Nowadays, replacing a watch strap is very easy, especially for leather-strap watches. At SAIGIO, you will find many types of leather straps; we always update new styles according to trends in various sizes. See more product details here.
To avoid boredom, replace the watch strap you’re using
You might be wondering why go through the trouble of changing a watch strap when you could simply buy a new watch. Check out our 6 reasons below, and you will change your mind.
Budget Saving
You will surely agree with us on this. Opting to change the watch strap will help your wallet lose less compared to buying an entirely new watch. To illustrate, let’s make a small comparison. A high-end watch can cost at least 5 million VND, whereas you only need to spend 1 million VND to own a quality leather watch strap.
Flexible Style Changes
When you own a collection of different watch straps, you can easily change your style. In this way, you’ll enjoy the excitement of variety rather than wearing the same watch with a single strap style every day. When at work, you look very elegant with the watch with high-end brown EPSOM leather strap. When going out or picnicking with friends, you’ll exude a distinctive personality wearing the watch with vintage yellow cow leather strap. And with many models in various colors, you are completely free to choose.

Better Quality
Simply put, a watch not only helps you keep time but also elevates your style. Why should you settle for wearing a watch you’re not fond of just because you bought it by mistake or received it as a gift, when you can completely take charge by replacing the strap? Depending on your wrist size, you can choose a strap that fits, looks better, and is more durable with superior quality.
Wearing a watch with a strap that is too tight or of poor quality can harm your wrist. Conversely, a strap that is too loose can easily bump or fall off. Therefore, replacing it with a quality, well-fitting watch strap is absolutely necessary. We have also published an article with detailed guidance on how to choose a watch strap; you can refer to it here.

Environmentally Friendly
Changing the strap prevents you from wasting an old watch that you’ve left cluttering a corner or were about to throw in the trash. Moreover, a watch strap isn’t limited to just one watch. Depending on the sizes of the watches you own, you can swap straps between multiple watches or even exchange them with relatives or friends. This approach not only diversifies your watch styles and strengthens bonds but also protects the environment.

Emotional Value
A watch represents time; it is a reminder of all aspects of our lives. Perhaps that is why watches are often chosen as gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations… And more importantly, they might even be heirlooms passed down from grandparents or parents. These seemingly ordinary items sometimes carry extraordinary meaning, symbolizing the bonds of love among family or friends. For that reason, we should change the watch strap rather than letting it remain forgotten in a corner.
