There are whole threads on this topic but yeah, straps and bracelets can totally transform a watch from meh- to wow. The pairing has to happen organically, you can’t just expect to throw a strap on and call it done- which does happen but not often in my experience. Here’s a case and point:
This Tissot only came on a brown factory strap- no bracelet option. I first tried it on this pilot strap and thought is was pretty bad-ass:

But it just didn’t get much wear, so next put it on this lovely pebble Milanostrap

but if felt a little too dressy and again, never wore it- then got the US polished Holzer

Can’t get enough of it now.
You can never have too many options and before you decide to cut bait on a watch, give a try on a couple other pairings.
