Just mix and match timepieces and straps for a look that's uniquely you. Chic and colorful strap options include croco, lizard, python and animal prints as well as metallic and patent leather. I was drawn to the colorful display at my local Target and think these would make a great gift. Watches are $39.99 and straps are $9.99, or you can buy a watch that comes with two straps for $49.99. The “Mix it. Switch it. Love it!” collection is available exclusively at Target.
