We have been assured more than once that Apple Watch is the most individual device Apple has ever made, and the abundance of available wristbands and straps, from which one can choose when buying watches, it really confirms. However, not all of them suit: someone because of the prices, someone because of the design or materials. But third-party manufacturers have already flocked to fix it. Here are a dozen of the best alternative straps and bracelets for every taste and purse.
Milan net bracelet from Baseus ($ 32)
The company’s “Milan loop” Apple looks damn elegant and attracts looks, but it’s not cheap, 10 690 rubles. The analogue from the Chinese manufacturer of accessories Baseus looks very similar to “native”, but differs by a fastener – it here usual, instead of magnetic. Given a more democratic price, this fact can be forgiven.
While the bracelet is available in silver, but soon there will be options for gold and steel.
Black Milan bracelet from @ accessoryory ($ 17.99)
Even more accessible mesh bracelet in recognizable color is “gray space”. This bracelet is ideal for watches in a steel case and sports aluminum versions. The clasp, unfortunately, is not magnetic, but ordinary. However, this bracelet will be an excellent choice for fans of Apple’s corporate color. Although there is a silver version.
Milan mesh bracelet from JETech ($ 49.99)
As with the original Apple bracelet, here too there is a magnetic fastener, which allows you to adjust the desired length to any wrist. Interlacing links, of course, is not so elegant, but after all, the price is three times smaller. An excellent option as an additional replacement bracelet for suitable occasions.
Stainless steel bracelet from Hoco ($ 79)
A block steel bracelet is the most classic. Apple is asking for almost 32 thousand rubles. And although there is a “special” butterfly clasp, it’s still very expensive. A similar stainless steel bracelet from Hoco has a more humane price tag. It looks no worse than the branded one, plus comes a device that allows to extract the links to fit the wristband to the size of the wrist and ensure reliable operation of the heartbeat sensor.
The bracelet is available in silver, space gray, gold and rose gold colors for both sizes of Apple Watch.
Strap of genuine leather from Olixar (1842,99 rubles)
Prices for branded leather straps Apple start from 10 690 rubles, which is quite expensive. Similar to the materials and style of the strap from the popular manufacturer of accessories Olixar costs just over 1800 rubles (plus another 100 rubles for delivery), and it goes even cheaper than the simplest silicone strap Apple. The accessory is made very high quality and it goes well with the Apple Watch version in the steel case.
The strap is available in four colors, including classic black and brown, as well as blue and red.
Vintage leather strap from Jisoncase (£ 24.90)
Are you attracted to vintage leather? Jisoncase can offer a variety of skin (including crocodile) in colors from light brown to black. The most beautiful, perhaps, you can call the option in red. The fastening mechanism here is classic, without any frills.
Soft silicone strap Olixar (1326.99 rubles)
Sports straps – an excellent choice for fans of bright colors. However, if the colors offered by Apple seem to you not enough bright – Olixar can please your taste.
In total for this version of the strap is available five colors: white, red, black, green and blue. The price should surprise you, too.
Polymer “braided” strap from Case-Mate (1842 rubles)
Like Apple’s sports straps, this one is made of the same material – elastomer. An interesting wicker design and a small pendant attached to the strap (like pink color) make it exceptionally feminine. A low price allows you to buy it for use as a replacement strap.
Silicone Sports Strap with Protective Case from Poetic ($ 5.95)
Ultra-budgetary strap with additional protection of the watch case will be a good choice for sports fans who are worried about the safety of their Apple Watch. The design of the strap and fastener is similar to the original sports straps of Apple. The edge of the cover protruding above the screen will protect the display from impacts. The only thing you should be afraid of is water.
The accessory is available in five basic colors, including blue, white and black.
Elastic Strap Shear Glam from Case-Mate ($ 35)
On this strap there are so many sparkles that it will shine like gold. Although, perhaps, with the gold version of Apple Watch it should not be used – it’s clear to him, of course, to the real gold. But in any case, this is an excellent flashy strap made of elastic material, which will please many women of fashion. And the price is not so high.
While it is available in one color, but soon the manufacturer should release a variant in color brilliance.
