People have been changing the bands on their watches since long before any of us were born. It’s a cheaper alternative to buying a new watch. It lets you keep the face you’ve gotten comfortable with and change the material, style or color of the rest of the watch. But that’s mostly been applicable to what we would consider “classic” style watches and not the cool, innovative designs of a company like Nooka. Now you can have the cool, colorful and eccentric designs of a polyurethane Nooka watch with an interchangeable strap. The Zub Zoo 40 is one of the classic Nooka digital/dot/thermometer-style faces, and the new Zub Zan 40 is Nooka’s version of a more traditional watch with hands. Both have interchangeable straps, which means there are almost endless color combinations possible.
