Nylon watch straps are popular with men due to their durability, comfort and style. At WatchBandit, we have many types of nylon replacement watch bands: Perlon Straps, Nylon Single Piece Straps and Sailcloth Straps.
Here’s a quick guide to how they differ from one another in terms of:
- Construction: All three types of nylon straps are made from the same material; however, Perlon straps are made differently than the Nylon Single-Piece straps. The nylon fibres of Perlon straps are made from tiny rings that are linked together rather than being condensed together the way that Nylon straps are. This gives them extra strength.
- Texture: The differences in the construction of Perlon straps and Nylon straps also creates variations in texture. The Perlon straps look as if they are braided, while Nylon Single-Piece straps are smoother with a more woven look.
- Style: Perlon watch straps at Watch Bandit are available only in solid colors, while the Sailcloth straps come also in camouflage prints. The Nylon watch straps are available in solids, stripes and camo prints.
- Hardware: The Nylon Single-Piece bands feature two slim polished loops and a matching slim buckle all made of stainless steel. We offer the hardware in brushed matte and black PVD finishes. With the Perlon bands, the buckle is polished, but the loops are made out of nylon rather than metal.
