The Best Leather Watch Straps for the Summer? | 7Friends & Watches Review

[@ShahLusso]

What do you think of this innovative approach to leather watch straps? What sort of straps do you wear on your watch when it's hot? Let me know in the comments section!

Favorite straps in the summer are what you already mentioned, NATOs, rubber and bracelets. I've not worn leather since spring. Good video on other options!

[@ShahLusso]

These might be the ones to change that 😉 glad you liked the video :)

Great video and 7 friends and watches make some killer straps 👏

[@ShahLusso]

They really do, was so glad to be able to try out their straps :D

[@jeremyrice3719]

My favorite watches tend to be my integrated braclets but i do like variety so I have one watch on a mesh, another on a MN, and a third on a RSM fabric strap. These look like a great option. If in the future I get a watch that suits leather I’ll likely be picking up at least one of their straps.

I'm a strap fanatic, and those 7 friends look quite nice. I personnaly order my leather straps from custom makers ( Jacob's straps and Mansarea mainly). But I tend to avoid leather in warm weather, to me summer is the perfect season to play with textures and colors, so mainly perlon, natos and MN straps for me. Been wearing my Mark XVIII heritage all summer with a variety of textile straps and it's a such a pleasure to match or contrast your style with a colourfull strap.

Oooh that Mark XVIII must be an absolute strap queen, I can imagine how versatile it must be to pair with different straps. I also get a lot of straps custom made - especially for my Cartier Pasha - however, the guy who does them for me doesn't work with rubber or textile so for summer I can't wear half my straps because they're leather, so these ones make for a great halfway especially when you don't want to go with rubber or a NATO :)

It's nice to change up your straps not to just to give it a new look but also if you live in a area that has season don't have to wear a metal bracelet for the colder time and vice-versa for summer like always great content

[@ShahLusso]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :) Totally agree, changing straps is such an important option between seasons, bracelets can get freezing cold during a proper winter 🥶 and even during a really hot/humid summer they can be just too heavy, so it always comes in handy having a few options to switch between :)

@@ShahLusso living in with seasons make you rethink about what strap you want to change

[@TiMEworn]

Never heard of them before, even though I'm based in Europe. Thanks for sharing! I usually tend to have thick straps, when wearing straps at all, but a thinner option sounds interesting! Nicely balanced review, makes their products genuinely more appealling than a simple shower of appraisal. Cheers!

[@ShahLusso]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video! To be honest I'd never considered the thickness of my straps until getting these, but definitely on more vintage or classically styled & proportioned watches it makes a big difference

[@victor2tube]

I end up using bracelet all year around :) but.. when do we pension the steinhart? 😉

[@ShahLusso]

Hehe soon it'll retire...i just need to find its replacement first :D

[@victor2tube]

@@ShahLusso you know my opinion 😄 Seiko presage sharp edge... If you want more exclusivity get the limited edition 😄

[@ShahLusso]

@@victor2tube yeah the Seikos a top contender :D

[@davidvandusen6556]

I don’t do leather straps in the summer anymore. Literally destroyed one strap every year until I learned.

[@ShahLusso]

Yeah....heat can be very hard on a strap, luckily these now have stood the test well (so far) :)
