One hundred percent. The strap is, almost always, a crucial component!

The strap is of high importance to me also, both from a comfort and appearance standpoint. Fortunately, I think watch brands have recognized this fact and are spending more time coming up with interesting straps.

In the past , it seemed like an afterthought but as you say, the brands are doing a better job.

Definitely important Larry!

The wrong strap will just kill the watchπ. Having said that, since swapping the straps is an easy maneuver (most of the time), whatever strap that comes with a watch does not materially affect my watch purchase decision.

S F, I do agree with that statement, however sometimes the strap is what first grabs my attention.

I totally agree. An important part of the watch. The brands should pay more attention to that.
