How to Veganize a Leather Strap Watch
If you already have a watch that has a leather strap and you don’t want to spend the money buying a new one, you can always change your strap for a vegan watch strap.
All of the brands listed above offer separate watch straps in different colors and materials.
You can also find a lot of vegan leather watch straps on Amazon.
Just make sure that you buy a strap that is the right size or it won’t fit.
If you don’t remember the strap size, you can see if the size is engraved on the back of your watch.
Otherwise, you can use this simple watch size guide to get the measurements.
Just note that watches are almost always measured using the metric system and millimeters meaning a regular American ruler might not be sufficient.
