About Wrist Envy

Written by the company

Wrist Envy: Find Your Perfect Watch Strap

Wrist Envy is a UK-based watch strap brand specialising in premium-quality watch straps designed for comfort, durability, and timeless style. We have created both handmade custom watch straps and ready-to-wear designs, carefully crafted to help watch enthusiasts personalise and upgrade their timepiece.

Our Watch Band Collections: From Leather Watch Straps to Rubber Watch Straps

Our extensive collection includes Leather Watch Straps, Apple Watch Straps, Men's Apple Watch Straps, Women's Apple Watch Straps, Garmin Watch Straps, Metal Watch Straps, NATO Watch Straps, Rubber Watch Straps, and Sailcloth Watch Straps, with a large selection across different materials including canvas, nylon, and fabric options, plus styles suited to leading brands such as Rolex and Omega, available in a wide range of sizes, colours like blue and green, and finishes for both men and women. Choosing the right watch strap depends on your style, the occasion, and what you need for everyday wear. Whether you're looking for a classic vintage leather strap, a durable sports strap, a premium smartwatch band, or a stylish stainless steel bracelet, you'll find a design to suit your watch and your lifestyle. Before you buy, a new watch strap should also match your lug width and watch case compatibility.

Find Straps That Are The Correct Strap Width For Your Watch

To find straps that fit, measure the lug width in mm and match the strap width to your watch case so a new watch strap fits properly; universal watch straps typically only fit watches with a straight band mount.

Innovative click systems make it easy to replace a watch band at home and get the perfect fit for the perfect watch strap. You can also get early access to selected collections, limited releases, and browse popular sellers when comparing styles.

At Wrist Envy, we believe a watch strap should do more than simply hold your watch in place—it should reflect your personality and enhance the way your watch looks and feels. Whether you're replacing a worn-out strap, refreshing the appearance of your favourite watch, or commissioning a bespoke handmade leather watch strap tailored to your exact requirements, watch for signs like cracks, fraying, or loose stitching that show when to replace a damaged strap, and use the right tools and accessories for safe changes, as our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional craftsmanship to achieve the perfect fit, comfort, and long-term quality.

Every strap is selected or crafted with attention to detail and a genuine passion for watches, with strong construction that supports long-term wear. Premium exotic options such as alligator, crocodile, and ostrich offer a more distinctive finish. Proper care helps protect every strap, and more delicate skin materials, including shark, need gentler maintenance to preserve their finish, especially as moisture, sweat, and heat can affect leather and fabric, so storing each one in a cool, dry watch case is best.

From traditional dress watches to modern smartwatches, our collections are designed to help you get more enjoyment from every watch you own, with refined leather and fabric for comfort and breathability, lightweight nylon for active everyday wear, stainless steel for durable, corrosion-resistant versatility despite its heavier feel, and rubber for sport and water use because it is waterproof, flexible, and easy to clean, though cheaper versions may tear. For formal or business wear, leather remains a timeless choice, with black the most traditional option.

With a wide choice in stock, you can shop this page for any best seller style and use each image to compare details before you buy.

Tarnishing

I’ve only had it for a week and the strap has already started to go green. Price was good and so was the delivery service. Just disappointed in the tarnishing already as it’s such a pretty watch.

Smashing products, wonderful service.

The products are just what I wanted. So far the quality has been smashing. I ordered sail cloth straps and they have softened to my wrist nicely. There was a small issue with my order, however communication with wrist envy was easy and quick. They were extremely helpful and the issue was resolved very quickly. I used their online messaging FYI. I felt like I was chatting to a friend. I would 100% use this company again.

Deployment issues

Bought a deployment strap for my watch.
The clasp just isn't up to the job if you value your watch. My own fault given the value of the item, but this would be problematic on any watch. The deployment clasp only has to be knocked and it'll release.

Im sorry to hear about the issue. Please email us at sales@wristenvy.co.uk with your order details and we can resolve this for you.

Regarding the clasp, it should be in working conditon and if it is not we will always rectify any issues. These deployant clasps are made as a substitute for high end clasps offered by the big brands. The originals cost in the range of £200 to £300 where as these clasps are sold at less than 10% of that cost. Whilst the aftermarket clasps will do a job, they certainly can not compete with the major brands quality and this is reflected in the price.

A great company that has outstanding…

A great company that has outstanding customer service and amazing product. It definitely goes to show that products built from great qualities attract customers from great distances. I have definitely become a loyal customer. Thank you Wrist Envy for all your attention to details from the moment the straps order was placed, I received the email advising that the order was received and processed. I then received an email advising that the order was shipped and had left the UK. Then I received an email stating that the order had arrived in the USA. I then received an email saying that my package was at my local post office. Finally I received an email stating that the package had arrived. What an absolute amazing experience!

Super happy with today's delivery of NATO straps

Super happy with today's delivery of NATO watch straps.
I only ordered late Thursday and they have arrived today Saturday.
I am really impressed with the quality of the straps with the added bonus of an extra one free if order two.
I've had more expensive straps that aren't as good, the leather NATO strap in particular is superb.
Thanks Wrist Envy, I'll definitely be ordering from you again, Paul

Very pleased and will likely buy again.

Quality is amazing, the watch strap I ordered is beautiful to both touch and sight. Delivered much sooner than I'd thought, and I think it was very well priced. I'm very pleased and would definitely buy again.

Excellent Strap VERY poor clasp

Excellent Strap, Poor Deployment Clasp

I have mixed feelings about this strap. On the positive side, the leather strap itself is genuinely excellent. The calf leather feels premium, the perforated design looks great on a sports watch, the stitching is neat, and overall build quality is exactly what I was hoping for. Delivery was also fast and efficient, with the order arriving sooner than expected.

Unfortunately, the deployment clasp lets the whole package down.

While deployment clasps are often marketed as a premium upgrade, this particular implementation is awkward and frustrating to use. Adjusting the clasp is far more fiddly than it needs to be, and finding the correct fit takes far longer than with a traditional buckle.

The biggest issue, however, is comfort. If you have a relatively small wrist, the strap wraps too far around the deployment mechanism, causing the clasp to sit in the wrong position underneath the wrist. Rather than sitting neatly and centrally, the metal components create a bulky lump on one side that makes the watch feel unbalanced and prevents it from sitting flat against the wrist.

This appears to be a common issue with deployment clasps when strap lengths are not optimised for smaller wrists. Many watch enthusiasts report that the clasp can end up off-centre, creating pressure points, discomfort, and an awkward fit. Some users even resort to reversing the strap orientation or replacing the clasp entirely to achieve a comfortable wear. (IWC Collectors Forum⁠)

In daily wear, I found myself constantly aware of the clasp, which is not something I expect from a quality watch strap. A good strap should disappear on the wrist; this one never quite does.

It’s frustrating because the leather strap itself is genuinely high quality and would easily deserve a much higher rating. If Wrist Envy offered the same strap with a traditional tang buckle, or a better-designed deployment clasp with more suitable sizing options for smaller wrists, I would happily buy another.

Pros

* High-quality leather
* Attractive perforated design
* Excellent finishing
* Fast delivery
* Good value for the strap itself

Cons

* Deployment clasp is awkward to adjust
* Poor fit on smaller wrists
* Bulky and uncomfortable underneath the wrist
* Prevents the watch sitting naturally and flat
* Clasp design feels like an afterthought compared with the quality of the leather

Overall, a great strap paired with a disappointing clasp. The leather deserves 5 stars; the clasp deserves 1. The final result lands somewhere in the middle.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to write this review. I'm please that the leather watch strap met your expectations and sorry to hear that the clasp was not up to the standard you expected.

I take your points regarding the clasp. The honest answer is that these deployant clasps are made as a substitute for high end clasps offered by the big brands. The originals cost in the range of £200 to £300 where as these clasps are sold at less than 10% of that cost. Many customers use their original clasps and switch out the ones supplied. Whilst the aftermarket clasps will do a job, they certainly can not compete with the major brands quality. For us, it is not feesable for us to offer £20 / £30 leather strap with a high end clasp so the options are limited.

We do offer a full 60 day return policy and have many leather rally straps that have standard buckles. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out on our chat and we will be happy to help.
