blog 57

I’ve been sick all weekend so I’ve fallen a little behind on these blogs and I’ve already missed a few so I can’t afford to miss anymore. I’m going to blog about watches again because that’s something that I know a lot about so it’s easy to write about it. I’m going to write about watch vocab and watch terms. For watches there are two types of watch bands, a bracelet and a strap. A bracelet is a metal band with links which many people prefer for their durability and aesthetic appeal. A strap refers to a band made of cloth, leather, rubber, or any nonmetal material. Although watches with bracelets are more durable and better for sports and such, most people prefer leather or crocodile straps for dress watches because they look more sophisticated and are easier to match to a suit or dress shoes. Now, back to the bracelets. With bracelets there are several materials that they can be made of. The majority of bracelets are made of stainless steel but gold is also a popular choice for more expensive watches. When it comes to gold bracelets there are a few types. There are two tone gold bracelets, which are generally yellow, 14k or 18k with stainless steel. There are also solid gold bracelets which can also be made of 14k or 18k gold but can be made with a range of different golds including rose gold, pink gold, yellow gold, and a few others. I hope you learned something about watches, read my next three or four to learn more!
