Metal is typically more casual; leather is more formal. Black leather is traditionally the most formal. What kind of watch is it and what level of formality are you going for?

For an everyday watch, I'd go with something fairly casual, like a colored Zulu strap. If you want to be able to wear it to something formal, maybe go with metal links. Even though metal is usually for "sport" watches, no one seems to actually wear them when playing sports nowadays :lol: Since the 90s, the new money crowd has commonly worn metal straps to formal events (think gaudy Rolexes and Tags). They are now accepted in most situations, but I wouldn't wear one to a black tie event (black leather strap or no watch) or a white tie event (definitely no watch).
