Apple Watches come with a pretty basic plastic wand, but you don’t have to settle for it. There are so many awesome options out there that make one of the best smartwatches feel much more luxurious.
The Apple Watch supports tons of accessories, and finding a band that fits your style is an easy way to turn it into a personal accessory, rather than just a generic piece of tech. Whether you’re looking for something sleek and modern or want something rugged, durable and water-resistant that can handle the elements, there’s a band out there for you.
You can go for the office-acceptable nylon strap or leather loop with a modern buckle. You can try out a ballroom-worthy link bracelet, a sport loop band made from soft silicone or a rugged woven nylon band. Heck, there are even Italian leather and rose gold options out there if you’re feeling fancy. Different watch bands come with different closures as well, so if you’re on the lookout for a stainless steel buckle or a magnetic clasp, chances are they exist.
