For all of the retro fever when it comes to watches, there is sone thing from the 80's that you still don't see around, stretchy metal bracelets.

Does anyone on here have any?

And why do you think they haven't caught back on at all? There is a bunch on Amazon for around $20. Ooh they do a black one! Never seen that before.

LOL, no. Maybe when I was a kid, I can't remember.

I remember my Grandad used to wear one back in the 70's, not seen one since probably for good reason.

My summer watch came on one, but I quickly swapped it for leather. Interestingly, it now comes from the manufacturer on leather.

Tried them looked a bit retro. Settled on nice leather effect silicone (as it's a sweaty sports watch)

I’ve got a couple in the box that came with watches I bought but never worn them personally. IMHO they tend to look very cheap and nasty. I’d be open minded to one that looks like it would suit the watch but haven’t seen any decent ones.

I’ve used these in the past, my mother still wears them, my wrists aren’t exactly hairy so can’t comment on the epilator effect though
