I was shopping in a department store one day, and I noticed a lovely selection of watches. I browsed around and came across something very interesting. There was a watch that came in a wide box, and had about 5 different bands to choose from. I then began to think about the reasons why someone would need so many bands for their watch.

Perhaps it is to match outfits. Some people have a more colorful wardrobe than others, and they might have such a variety of outfits, that they need different watch bands. Many individuals like to have varying shades of the same color in their outfits. For example, a lady might wear a pink shirt with pink pants and pink shoes. Why not have a pink watch band, as well?

Other unique individuals might want to mix and match colors. Some people might want to wear a more neutral color, like black or brown, and then have a pop of color on their watch. That idea might be a reason for multiple watch bands. It is quite the fashion trend: adding colorful accessories. An otherwise bland outfit can really liven up with the addition of a different colored watch.

Another reason might be to match shoes. Color coordination with shoes is an absolute must for many people, especially women. The shoes might match her purse, and her watch. That sounds like an eye-catching sort of style, doesn't it? A watch as a color matching accessory can really add a nice touch to an outfit.

Many men are fashion savy, too. Having more than one watch band can give a trendy guy more accessory options. Men might want to match their shoes, also. Having multiple watch bands is really not a bad idea.

I would suppose that multiple watch bands would save money as well. Purchasing a single watch face with more than one band is much cheaper than buying five or six watches (That depends on the brand, of course). Besides, if you like a certain watch face, how often do you see the same watch in multiple color options anyway?

So that is what came to mind when I saw those watch bands at the department store. I didn't buy one, but now I think it might be a pretty good idea. Whoever thought of the idea is actually rather intelligent. What do you think about having multiple watch bands?
