8 best third-party Apple Watch bands
Bored of your smartwatch
strap? These trendsetting replacement bands can take your wrist to new style
levels
Customising the look of
your Apple Watch used to be a limited and expensive affair, since a small
selection of expensive official bands being all that was available. But as the
Apple Watch matures, it's becoming increasingly possible to enhance your
smartwatch in new and exciting ways through third party bands. If you're
looking for something different than the 38 official Apple Watch bands, we've
got you covered with the best straps on the market.
Hoco Grand Series 2 Pointers stainless steel
The Hoco for Apple Watch
closely resembles the leather strap Apple has made with a classy magnetic end
that folds back to hold the band in place. The blue and black models are the
most attractive, as with Apple's own. As you might expect, it's slightly
cheaper than Apple's version.
Best for: Economical
stylishness
GRANVELA APPLE WATCH STRAP BASEUS LEATHER STRAP
Baseus makes excellent and
affordable bands. This one looks great thanks to the bright red leather on the
outside (black and brown are also available) and beige inside, which only you
will see as most of the time it'll be on your wrist. Crisply made and stylish.

BASEUS GENUINE LEATHER STRAP WRIST BAND
The Baseus is a subtly
different styling from the Apple leather straps and the large golden buckle is
striking. The same gold effect is found on the connectors that attach the band
to the Watch. This works just as well with the Apple Watch Sport as the real
gold Edition.

wrists)
CLASSIC NATO BANDS FOR APPLE WATCH

lightweight, especially when compared to stainless steel or leather.

CASE-MATE TURNLOCK APPLE WATCH STRAP
Like Apple's sporty bands,
this band is made of elastomer. As such it works best on the Watch Sport. It's
