Core Materials and Characteristics

Core Materials and Characteristics
Natural Solid Silicone: High-purity, non-toxic, good elasticity, temperature range -40℃ to 200℃, suitable for most people.
Ordinary Synthetic Silicone: Low purity, low cost, easy to harden, suitable for short-term use.
Fluorosilicone: High temperature/chemical resistant, waterproof, suitable for swimming and diving.
TPE Composite Silicone: Moderate elasticity and wear resistance, suitable for light daily use.
High-quality straps are soft, odorless and quick to rebound; inferior ones are rough, smelly, easy to age and may irritate skin.

Common Problems and Causes

Common Problems and Causes
Yellowing/discoloration: Sun oxidation, sweat/oil/cosmetics contact or inferior pigments.
Hardening/cracking: Material aging, high temperature, frequent stretching or organic solvent contact.
Allergy/discomfort: Harmful substances in inferior straps, tight wearing or sweat residue.
Loosening/falling off: Buckle wear, strap hole deformation or improper quick-release installation.

Wearing, Cleaning and Maintenance

Wearing, Cleaning and Maintenance
Wearing: Adjust to 1-2mm wrist gap, fasten firmly; loosen properly during sports; dry in time after water contact.
Cleaning: Wipe daily with soft cloth; deep clean weekly with warm water and neutral detergent; avoid organic solvents.
Maintenance: Avoid sunlight and high temperature; check interface/buckle regularly; store in cool dry place when not in use.

Purchase Points

Purchase Points
Fit: Confirm watch lug width and connection method.
Material: Choose according to usage scenarios (e.g., fluorosilicone for water activities).
