The Thrifty Gentleman Welcomes DiscountAStraps to The Family

We’re extremely excited to announce a significant milestone in our journey -DiscountAStraps, the leading online retailer of Apple Watch straps, has officially joined the Thrifty Gentleman family!

Since our inception in 2021, The Thrifty Gentleman has been committed to offering stylish and affordable watch straps that exude sophistication without breaking the bank.

Now, with the addition of DiscountAStraps to our growing business, we’re expanding our offerings to cater to Apple Watch users who want quality and value, just like our traditional watch strap customers.

Why DiscountAStraps?

DiscountAStraps has been a favourite among Apple Watch enthusiasts for its incredible range of watch bands - delivering quality, style, and affordability across various designs, colours, and materials.

Much like us here at The Thrifty Gentleman, DiscountAStraps strives in making premium accessories available without the hefty price tags, and that’s why this acquisition felt like the perfect next step.

Our founder, Jonathan, shares his vision:

"When I started The Thrifty Gentleman, I had one goal: to make great-looking, high-quality watch straps accessible to everyone.

Expanding into Apple Watch straps was always part of the plan, and when the opportunity to acquire DiscountAStraps came along, it felt like a natural fit.

Our values are aligned - affordable, high-quality products with no compromises on style."

What’s New at DiscountAStraps?

We know that when you find a great business, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, so our focus has been on enhancing what DiscountAStraps already does best.

Here are some updates we’ve made to improve customer experience, very much aligned to what we have already done at The Thrifty Gentleman:

  • Simplified Navigation: You can now browse bands by colour, size, or material, making it easier to find exactly what you want.
  • Linked Product Styles: Easily discover all available colour options for a particular watch strap style - no more endless searching!
  • New Photography: Our new product images feature real customers wearing the bands, giving you a better sense of how they’ll look in action.
  • Curated Collections: We’ve streamlined some product ranges and added new styles to make shopping easier.
  • Even Better Prices: We've reviewed our pricing to ensure you're getting the best possible value, with some prices even lower than before!

Quality First, Always

Before relaunching DiscountAStraps, we took the time to review every product. Our team carefully inspected and organised each strap, ensuring stock levels were accurate and every item passed our high standards for quality control.

What to Expect Moving Forward

We’re excited about what’s to come at DiscountAStraps, and our commitment to our Apple Watch customers remains stronger than ever. Here’s what customers can look forward to:

  • An Expanding Range: We’ll continue to introduce new, exciting Apple Watch straps while maintaining the high standards you’ve come to expect from The Thrifty Gentleman.
  • Customer-Centric Service: Our business has been built on exceptional customer satisfaction, and we’ll ensure that customer experience is seamless from start to finish whilst maintaining those same standards at The Thrifty Gentleman.
  • Support You Can Count On: We’re here to help, and we stand behind every product we sell. On the rare occasion something doesn’t go as planned, we’ll always make it right.

In Closing

We want to thank all our loyal customers for your continued support throughout this exciting transition. We couldn’t be more thrilled about the future of DiscountAStraps under The Thrifty Gentleman banner, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions or feedback. Here’s to the future of affordable, stylish, and high-quality watch straps for every watch and occasion!
