Archer Nylon Watch Strap
- Price: $17.99
- Where To Buy: Amazon
Nylon straps are some of the best options for watches if you like something that will last a long time and go with pretty much anything. Nylon is also easy to make in a ton of different colors. So you have a decent set of options for this particular strap in that department.
And, it is nylon so it’s also fairly inexpensive. As you can pick up this strap for $18. Not bad considering some of the prices for bands made of high-end materials like leather.
Simple, rugged, comfortable, and colorful. What more could you want from a watch strap?
Crown & Buckle Brynn Leather 2-Piece Strap
- Price: $32
- Where To Buy: Crown & Buckle
If you want some super high-quality, then check out Crown & Buckle’s collection of 2-piece of leather straps. These come in 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm sizes, and in a small variety of colors.
We’ve highlighted the Brynn specifically because we like the color of this one a lot. That being said, you might want to consider which color of the watch case you have and pick a color that matches that as best as possible. For instance, if you have the black watch case, the Harbor Black, Habitue Black, or Rallye Black would go well with that. Even the Gator Chocolate is dark enough to mesh well with the dark color of the case.
Ultimately, though, go with the one that you like best. All of the leather 2-piece straps have an option and we have confirmed with Crown & Buckle that they will work with the Fossil Gen 6.

It uses a stainless steel buckle system with a single prong closure, and a quick release to make swapping the band easier. That way you can slap on a silicone band for workouts and more active endeavors, then switch to leather for the office, nights out, or just your casual everyday wear.

Sometimes you just need a sporty option for a watch band. Because metal and leather just don’t feel as nice during high energy activities like running, working out, cycling and more. Plus, they’re not particularly well-suited for swimming. And since the Fossil Gen 6 is swimproof, you’re going to want a silicone band if you plan on taking a dip with the watch on.
This particular style silicone band from Fossil comes in Blue and Black. Although, Fossil does offer more silicone bands that come in different colors. So you still have options even if the band has a slightly different look.

The band is also made of silicone and not metal. So while the closure is magnetic, the band itself should feel like any other silicone band you’d wear. Which means it will feel softer against your skin than a hard metal band.
