9102.29.15 - With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated

This HTS category, 9102.29.15, encompasses wrist watches that are not of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal, and whose movement contains more than one jewel but not more than seven jewels. The defining characteristic of watches within this subheading is the presence of a strap, band, or bracelet constructed from textile materials or base metals, irrespective of whether these base metals are gold- or silver-plated. This category specifically targets a particular type of "other" wrist watch, falling under the broader umbrella of non-precious metal timepieces.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 9102.29.20, by its specific requirement for the watch's strap, band, or bracelet to be made of textile material or base metal. The sibling category, conversely, would likely cover watches with different strap/band materials or no specific material requirement detailed at this level, or perhaps those with a higher jewel count not specified here. The "other" designation within this subheading indicates that these watches do not fit into more specific prior classifications within heading 9102.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is complete at this level based on the combination of the watch type (wrist watch, not of precious metal), the number of jewels in its movement (over 1 but not over 7), and the material of its strap, band, or bracelet (textile or base metal, plated or not). When classifying a watch, customs officials will consider these cumulative criteria to determine the correct HTS code.
