Leather band watches acceptable?

I would like to know this too, especially of "not known to be professional" brands like Nixon. I like a little surfer look.

I'm talking more along the lines of like citizen

Yes they're fine.

In fact, leather band watches are traditionally more professional and formal than metal bands. I prefer leather bands at work.

More professional than metal band watches, which are more suited for a sporty look (think golfing or yachting with a polo on). I find metal band watches a little gaudy and busy to be paired with a clean, sharp suit.

Obama wears a leather band watch... I'm guessing that means that anyone can wear one to work. http://www.luxois.com/images/barack-obama-secret-service-watch1.jpg

Both leather and metal are fine with a suit. James Bond wears a metal bracelet Omega with his suits. Just don't wear one with a rubber or cloth band and no G-Shocks

I see many guys go overboard on the chunky metal band watches. A word of wisdom: save these huge obnoxious timepieces for the weekend....

so is Nixon okay, or is Nixon too unprofessional of a brand?

Sorry but IMO, wearing a Nixon to work is unacceptable. Those types of watches are best saved for non-work related activities.

This one is the closest to the proper pulse at the office. If you must wear a metal banded watch, try not to stray too far from this style. http://www.nixonnow.com/mens-watches/

Edit-sorry, bottom of page its called "the time teller", white faced.
