A lot of broken things do not need to be thrown away because they may be repaired or recycled in some ways.
It can save our budgets and reduce wastes as well.
For example, this theorem can be introduced to watch straps.
A lot of bands of wrist watches may not be substituted because they are really durable materials as watch straps.
But they are attached to cheap watches.
The plastic bands will be not durable enough if we bend them quite often when the watches are taken on and off.
The same problem has influenced on another type of watch bands such as leather watch bands.
It is common to see a male wearing a metal watch strap with a stainless steel or a titanium material.
You can also choose metal watch bands because a lot of them are designed to be removed easily.
It is not so difficult to get substitution for an old watch strap from eBay or from a local store when your watch strap is broken.
The common watch bands can replace other broken straps.
I had a watch in plastic material before.
I removed the band and carried the watchcase in my bag.
The band was not a durable and classic one but it was really a nice one for the watch which its appearance had gone out and with a broken strap.
As the plastic material easily gets corrosive, I have attached the plastic band with my old watch now.
I can wear it while working in the garden without any worrying about it because the watch is an old one.
