Double Wrap Around Watches

Michael Kors Women's MK2256 Runway Brown Watch
The double wrap watch is the most common wrap around watch, this type of watch wraps twice round the wrist before it can be clasped.

Wrapping around twice, is the common factor, after that the range of styles is amazingly varied. You will find watches from the understated, even plain watches to extravagant watches with loads of embellishments to classical and elegant to hip and fun.

On this page we will try to show examples of the most common styles available.

Prices range from cheap and very inexpensive to quite pricey.

================

The Michael Kors Women's Runway Watch above is one of the top rated wrap watches in the mid range price. It is a simpler style then many available, but still has a cool, elegant look with a golden-toned face and a rich brown leather wristband.











Triple Wrap Around Watch

La Mer Collections Women's LMSW3001
Brown Gold Bali Stud Wrap Watch 
The triple wrap around watch differs from the more typical double wrap watch in that when you wear the triple, apart from the watch, it looks like you are also wearing two other bracelets or bands on your wrist. The effect is much more elaborate than the double wrap around watch presents.

Often while one of the turns is similar to the main band, the second one will include other embellishments. Common ornaments include chains, studs, braids, charms and much more. The triple wrap watch is a complete accessory, a watch, and bracelets all in one. At other times the band is uniform material, plain or a self-pattern or studs to make it more interesting.

Like other wrap watches, you can find prices ranging from cheap and very inexpensive to quite pricey.

================

The La Mer Collections Gold Bali Stud Wrap Watch above is a top rated watch in the mid range price wise. It is a simpler style than many available, but still, has a fresh look with the band of studs on the black leather centered on the warm, rich brown leather band.

Ezra by Zalora Thin Strap Wrap Watch

This thin strap triple wrap around watch makes a beautiful, fashionable accessory as well as a functional timepiece. The wristband has a leather look with top stitching. The bezel and buckle are both gold-toned. The whole watch has a nice clean look that works well in both the workplace and other settings.

Ezra by Zalora Thin Strap Wrap Watch
I love the beautiful peach color of the watch above and the understated design. The relatively large face and the analog movement have a classic look with the minimum fuss. The Ezra is comfortable to wear and looks good in any situation.

Bling Wrap Chrono Watch

This blinking wrap watch is not only gorgeous gives the impression of a couple of lovely fashionable layered bracelets! The faux leather strap has rhinestone studs throughout its length until it continues as a multi-chain strap and ends with a closure of three adjustable button snaps. The bling effect continues in the rhinestones surrounding watch face giving the whole item a very lovely look.

So if you like a little bling, that is not too much, this watch is just the thing, and since this is a complete accessory, there is no need to work out which other bracelets to add to give you that effect. At the same time, it has an understated effect so that adding complementary bracelets will still work out for those who prefer even more bling or a more busy look.

Vince Camuto Women's Swarovski Crystal Accented Silver-Tone Pyramid Studded Black Leather Triple-Wrap Strap Watch

This Vince Camuto is quite a large watch, but still, manages to look elegant. With its restrained rectangular silver-toned case, dial, Roman numerals and the hour, minute, and second hands. The glossy black leather triple wrap-around strap us accented with 20 silver-toned pyramid studs; alternating between pyramid studs with Swarovski crystals all along the strap.

Vince Camuto Women's Triple-Wrap Strap Watch
If you like a more substantial look, this is the watch for you. The alternating studs and rhinestones give it some fashion and bling effect, yet it is simple enough to work well for any time of the day.

Medley Brown Friendship Watch

Medley are so named because they use an eclectic mix of materials. Based on friendship bracelets, the strap is of fine leather with semi-precious stones and metallic charms.

Medley Brown Friendship Watch
I like the almost tribal look of these wrap around watches. The style is young and fun, combining a beautiful watch with the ever popular friendship bracelets.

Wrap Around Watches For Women

Michael Kors Women's MK2256 Runway Brown Watch
Wrap watches for women are some of the loveliest and stylish watches that have come out in recent times.

What I love about wrap around watches is that they are able to be styled to look anything from very casual to the most elegant, they compliment our wrists making them appear dressed without having to wear too much other jewelry such as bracelets.

While many wrap around watches can be worn by both men and women, I think the women's wrap watches are where they really shine.

Here are some of the best examples I found, they include both designer and more affordable choices.

------
The Michael Kors Women's MK2256 Runway Brown Watch is one of the most popular women's wrap around watches at the moment. It combines a large watch face with a genuine leather strap to produce a clean looking elegant watch that can be worn both with casual and formal wear. 

Not the cheapest watch around but not too pricey either. If your budget is limited, but you want something similar you should take a look at the Stuhrling Original Women's 568.04 Soiree "Deauville Sport" 23k Yellow Gold-Plated Stainless Steel and Brown Leather Wrap Watch, which is about half the price.

First of we shall look at some of the designer wrap watches available. 

From the La Mer Collections we have this double wrap around watch

I love the delicate rose colors and aqua beads, yet it still has some spice with its darker leather accent and chain.

There are many other similar designs from La Mer Collections that you might like below are some of my favorites:

Now for a stronger more bold look, we have this watch from Sara Designs. This too is a double wrap around watch.

While this is somewhat more casual than the  La Mer Collections one above, it still would work for for most formal occasions where you don't want to have an overly formal look.

A slightly different look but still elegant and stylish is this chain link wrap bracelet watch by 'Sophia'.

'Sophia' Chain Link Wrap Bracelet Watch, 23mm
Unlike the ones above, the Shopia Chain link wrap watch has a single wrap, but that is all that it needs. The effect of the watch face and the single wrap is of a watch and a chain link bracelet all in one.

-----
If you have the opinion from the watches we have shown, that all wrap watches are expensive, then here are some very affordable and cheap wrap around watches for you to look at.

The styles are great too, but the quality might not be as guaranteed as the more pricey versions.

The YesurpriseWeave Round Rivets PU Leather Slim Band Retro Dial Quartz Woman Watch is one of the cheapest, going for just over $7 at the moment.

This retro watch comes in blue, as shown as well as brown and black. Some have complained that it can be a bit tight, so it is better suited for those with narrower wrists.

YesurpriseWeave  have a lot of styles, below are some of the most popular styles made by them.
