Seasonal watches?
For me winter is fair game. I dress up way more often in fall and winter so it gives me more options to coordinate watches with outfits. I find that a diver on any braclet but especially mesh is my favorite combo. Summers here in texas would take a leather strap and make it smell like lizzos leather pants after a 3 day music festival.(not good) what is yalls favorite summer pairing, or is it just business as usual?

Business as usual.
I do prefer a bracelet on hot humid days. And it is more confident inspiring to swim in one; but also a rubber strap would do. Leather straps are nicer for cooler dry weather. Natos I love, but I feel it's more rugged for dry outdoorsy activities like hiking and such.
I find the bracelet too heavy and hot in the summer so I swap my divers to rubber and sailcloth.
I want metal in the Summer. It’s not like Texas here (and I’ve no idea who Lizzo is) but I’m still more comfortable with metal.
I picked up a couple decent nato straps off Amazon for that exact reason. Dallas has been “moist” the last couple weeks. It’s nice to just give them a quick wash when needed & not have my case backs covered in wrist cheese.
I tend to consider both weather and activity.
In summer I seem to prefer comfortable bracelets with a good micro adjust system, but struggle to get away with non-adjustable ones. NATO & rubber straps also get some use for hiking etc
In winter I still prefer bracelets but if it’s particularly cold I may also swap to a NATO strap or similar just to avoid having a large amount of steel on the wrist!
In general I think having a good fit is most important, so any strap or bracelet just has to wear well for me to stick with it.

This one 😀
I swap some of the watches from leather and/or nato to rubber but that is it.
Before I do is it okay if my kids see whatever this is?
Never mind my wife clued me in. I get the reference now.
I just try and make my collection versatile and be able to be worn year round. Which living in Georgia, I totally get the heat thing. Years ago, I had a watch on a leather strap and it was misery.
Pretty much just this.

Tough watches for what they are have a pro diver master of the sea and that thing has been beat to hell and still ticking going on about 10 years now.
