Majority of watch bands today are mostly design and made available for watch models with lug sizes of 20mm & 22mm. As such, there are a ton of options available for watch models with the common lug sizes.
Are 24mm lug size watch models no longer popular? Obsolete? The common 20mm & 22mm are preferred than other lug size watches?

With a personal preference of big and bulky watches, its much harder to find a nice watch band for some of the watches I like because their lug sizes are 24mm. As I was looking through our warehouse, to check on our current available stocks with a 24mm lug width size.
Surprisingly enough, we were able to find several hidden gems that was packaged and kept in the far back end of the storage rack.

Personally, I prefer bigger/larger watch cases/thicker bands. I Like to the feel of the weight when wearing a watch. 24mm straps are commonly designed in straight end, and in leather, and interchangeable, so that they can be shared among watch models sharing the same lug size.

One must appreciate the feeling when you finally find a matching leather strap that matches with that odd color dial that you do not want to pair it with the same old black, brown, khaki color that you see everywhere.

Popular bands for watches with 24mm are Nylon straps, leather, mesh, and last but not least, stainless steel.

Although watches with a 24mm lug width size are not as common and available when compare to the 20mm & 22mm lug width watches. Just be thankful that you’re not trying to look for replacement watch bands with 19mm lug width size.
