Countries where duties are more commonly applied: Canada, Chile, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and select African markets. These are set by local customs and are the customer's responsibility.

My package is stuck in customs — what can I do?

Customs clearance can take a few extra days during peak periods. In most cases packages clear without any action from you. If customs contacts you for documentation, email support@bracev.com and we'll send any paperwork immediately.

We process refunds within 3–5 business days of receiving and inspecting your return. The refund goes to your original payment method. Your bank may take an additional 2–5 days to post it.

Where do I ship my return?

Do not ship without contacting us first. Email support@bracev.com to receive return authorisation and the correct return address. Returning without authorisation may delay your refund.

My strap arrived damaged — what do I do?

Email support@bracev.com with your order number and a photo of the damage. We'll send a replacement or issue a full refund — your choice. Since all orders are insured, damaged-in-transit cases are always resolved in your favour.

Absolutely — and we actively encourage it. Email support@bracev.com with your order number and what you'd like instead. The item must be in original unused condition.

Products & Sizing

What size strap do I need?

You need your watch's lug width — the gap between the lugs where the strap attaches. The most common sizes are 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm. Use our Size Guide or email support@bracev.com with your watch model.

What materials are BraceV straps made from?

Leather Straps — Full-grain genuine leather with hypoallergenic inner lining, reinforced double stitching, and sealed edges. Develops a beautiful patina over time. Rubber Straps — Premium vulcanised rubber, water and sweat resistant, built for active daily wear. All hardware is 316L surgical-grade stainless steel — rust-proof and hypoallergenic.

Will your straps fit curved lugs?

Some straps are compatible with curved lugs and some are not — it depends on the watch model. Email support@bracev.com with your watch's make and model before ordering and we'll advise you.

Are BraceV straps water resistant?

Rubber straps: Fully water and sweat resistant — ideal for swimming, sport, and daily wear. Leather straps: Water resistant at the stitching level, but avoid prolonged water exposure. Treat periodically with a leather conditioner.

What buckle and clasp options do you offer?

Classic Tang Buckle — Traditional pin-and-hole buckle, timeless and reliable. Available in Silver, PVD Black, Gold, and Rose Gold. Deployant Clasp — Folding butterfly clasp for a seamless wrist look. All hardware is 316L stainless steel.

Tutorials & Guides

How do I change my watch strap?

Your free BraceV change tool handles this in under 60 seconds: 1. Slide the fork-end of the tool between the strap and case near the spring bar. 2. Press inward to compress the bar and slide it free. 3. Repeat on the other side. 4. Press your new strap's spring bars into the lug holes until you hear a click.

How do I change the buckle on my strap?

Find the small spring bar connecting the buckle to the short end of the strap. Use your change tool to depress the spring bar and slide the buckle off. Slide the new buckle on and press until the spring bar clicks into place.

How do I care for my leather strap?

Daily: Avoid prolonged water or sweat contact. If it gets wet, air dry — never use direct heat. Monthly: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep the grain supple and prevent cracking. Storage: Store flat or on a strap roll, away from direct sunlight.

How do I care for my rubber strap?

Rubber is low maintenance but benefits from regular cleaning. Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush — scrub gently to remove dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not worn.

How do I know which spring bar size I need?

Spring bar length should match your lug width — for example, 20mm lugs need 20mm spring bars. The free pins included with your BraceV order are already sized to match your strap.

Rubber is low maintenance but benefits from regular cleaning. Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush — scrub gently to remove dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not worn, and keep away from oils, solvents, and harsh chemicals, which can cause the rubber to degrade faster.
