I’ve had the Apple Watch since it came out. Although I had decided to go see it in store before ordering it, the Apple gods surprised me and blessed me with a launch day delivery. I’ve been wearing the pretty gadget on my wrist for nine months now, and surprisingly, I only have two straps. Why this is surprising: the ability to change the band was something I was (and still am) excited about. Also, I’m the type of person who has several (read: seven, or maybe eight?) iPhone cases, which helps to keep me from getting bored with my phone.
The thing is, Apple’s bands are expensive. The one I originally had an eye on, the Modern Buckle, is $320 just for the strap. So that’s one factor that’s kept my band collection pretty minimal. It also took a while for third-party manufacturers to start making nice ones. I thought that my trip to Japan last October would be the perfect opportunity for me to stock up, but I barely found any in stores. So now, I’m turning to online shopping to fix my craving… which is what inspired this post.
So without further ado, here are six stylish Apple Watch straps I’m coveting:
1. Rebecca Minkoff Double Wrap Leather Band, $100 USD at case-mate.com
2. Ash & Frost Grey & White Lace Doodle Band, $70 USD at casetify.com
3. Turnlock Band (Shocking Pink), $25 USD at case-mate.com
4. DOTS #1 Band, $70 USD at casetify.com
5. Olive Nylon Band, $59.99 USD at monoweardesign.com
6. Rose Gold Ceramic Band, #169.99 USD at monoweardesign.com
Which is your favourite?
