One of the beauties of owning an Apple watch is the abundance of bands and straps available to suit every personality, occasion and mood.

We searched the Internet to bring you a compilation of bands and straps of various textures and materials. From silicone, metal, wood and leather options, with quality craftsmanship and aesthetic designs, you will have a hard time deciding on just one!

Lunatik Epik

Lunatik gained its fame from the launch of Scott Wilson’s TikTok+LunaTik Watch Kits for the iPod Nano on Kickstarter. Renowned for premium quality and functional design, Lunatik impresses us again with LUNATIK EPIK.

More than a band, it is a protection system for your Apple Watch. It is made of an aircraft grade anodized aluminium case which makes it lightweight yet extremely durable, a soft silicone band with anti-dust/dirt nano coating and a stainless steel active-control crown. The silicone band comes in only black, with the option of a silver or black aluminium case. Other options include a black or brown leather strap or a silver or black aluminium link band. Only available for the 42mm Apple Watch.

OTTM Wood Bands

Ottm wood bands for smartwatches launched as an Indiegogo campaign. With each band crafted by hand from 100% authentic hardwood, every Ottm band is entirely unique and of premium quality.  Available in Maple wood, Zebrawood and Sandalwood, these bands are a hit on Indiegogo, with bands not only for Apple watches, but also for Android Wear and Pebble Watch. Links on the band can be easily added or removed to fit your wrist.

Another reason why we love Ottm is because they are eco-friendly! For each person who pledges money towards Ottm on Indiegogo, the company will plant a tree in the forests of British Columbia.

Available for both 38mm and 42mm Apple Watches

Case Mate Turnlock Band

A fashionable bangled design for the ladies, the Turnlock Band is made of an elastomer band for the 38mm Apple Watch with a logo-engraved charm. The downside is its inability to be adjusted – it fits wrist size up to 7.75 inches, and without a buckle, the only way to remove the watch is by detaching the strap from the Apple watch.

25 USD | Case-mate

Apple’s Woven Nylon

Apple’s Woven Nylonis designed with durability and comfort in mind for casual everyday use.

With steel mesh watches gaining popularity, Apple’s Milanese Loop is the answer to a modern and sophisticated band for Apple watch owners. The smooth and fine mesh makes it as comfortable as wearing a fabric band. What we love about it is that it is fully magnetic – you can easily adjust the tightness of your watch throughout the day as you please!

Available for 38mm and 42mm Apple Watches in Silver and Space Black.
