Make your Apple Watch bands your style statement and every occasion asset!
Apple in the last decades has launched highly technology-driven and superior quality products to become part of our day-to-day life. With this objective, in 2015 Apple launched the Apple Watch.
In the early years of its launch, the Apple Watch band choices were very limited and you could not mix technology with fashion. But later they launched their Apple watch straps suitable for your hard training sessions to your formal office wear.
With this launch, started the third-party Apple watch bands revolution and now we have a plethora of options enough to confuse you about which one to pick for classy office wear, for a swimming session, or to match your style statement.
There were two sizes for the Apple Watch available originally, 38mm (small) and 42mm (large), however, with the Apple Watch Series 4 and above the sizes became 40mm and 44mm respectively.
But the bands can fit all sizes since the connector casings are the same for all models launched to date. So, no need to worry even if you have the older version of the Apple Watch and want to upgrade your Watch strap.
Firstly, make sure that the Apple watch band length fits your wrist size, and then for sure check out the watch strap end colour, it should match your Apple watch dial colour.
Now you are ready to choose the right one
After using the bands for a longer time, we have shortlisted the 5 best Apple watch bands for this year from Apple’s list and from trusted third-party manufacturers which are more economical than Apple itself but demonstrate high-end quality characteristics.
