The Top 5 Rubber Watches For Summer

Whilst watches with stainless-steel bracelets still dominate the watch market, the trend for rubber straps is very much prevalent. Over the last year we have seen a rise in the popularity of sports watches with luxury watch brands responding to this demand.

Notoriously luxury sports watches have either a stainless steel or rubber strap – materials widely used for their durability under extreme conditions. Rubber has become increasingly popular with brands diversifying from the traditional black or white rubber straps and introducing a range of bright colors such as orange and yellow and even pastel hues.

As leisurewear and a more casual approach becomes more popular and the trend of sports watches for both the everyday and professional athlete seems here to stay, brands have also responded by introducing quick-release strap change systems to allow a seamless interchange between stainless steel and rubber bracelets. This presents an element of dual functionality and appeal to an audience already invested in the trend of both materials. Discover some of our luxury watch brands that have embraced the use of rubber straps in the crafting of their watches.
