Sleek Apple Watch straps for a polished look
Nomad Modern Strap in Rustic Brown Horween Leather, $79
Nomad Goods has gained a reputation in the tech accessory industry as a brand with a meticulous focus on precision and dedication to utilising premium materials. The Modern Strap is made from Horween leather, known for its durability, rich colours, and unique texture. The strap develops a patina — the natural, desirable aging and darkening process that occurs over time —giving each piece a unique, character-rich appearance.

Bellroy Leather Watch Strap, $69
Ideal for both the boardroom and the gym, the Bellroy Leather Strap is made with premium, eco-tanned leather on the outside and durable polymer underneath.

UNIQ Dante Apple Watch Mesh Steel Strap, $49
Made by a Singapore-based company, this mesh steel strap is modelled after Apple’s Milanese Loop but comes at a fraction of the cost. This mesh steel look is a winner in our books. It has an air of understated elegance, and the finely woven mesh allows the strap to precisely wrap around your wrist to give you the perfect fit.

Apple Watch straps for the sporty set
Spigen Rugged Armor Pro, $31.99
If you’re a fan of Casio’s G-SHOCK series, you’ll love this strap of a similar design. Looks aside, the Spigen watch strap is also made of shock absorbent TPU material to give your Apple Watch all-round defense against everyday knocks and shocks. No wonder it’s racked up nearly 41,000 reviews on Amazon. Comes in Black, Charcoal Gray, Military Green, and Vintage Khaki colours.
Spigen Rugged Armor Pro, $31.99
Looking for straps with the same durable fluoroelastomer material that the OG Apple Watch sport strap is made of? The Nomad Sport Band is one such option, but unlike the Apple Sports Band’s design, it has grooves meant for interior ventilation channels, giving it a more rugged look. Comes in colours such as Ash Green, Marine Blue, Lunar Gray, Black, and more.
Nomad Sport Band, $89
Apple Sports Band, $69
You know what most people say – the original strap that comes with your Apple Watch is one of the best straps you can have, and we are not inclined to think otherwise. The Apple Sports Band is made from fluoroelastomer, or a kind of rubber that is highly resistant to most fluids, such as our sweat, at high temperatures. This makes the Apple Strap much more durable than most conventional silicon straps in the market.
Apple Sports Band, $69. Available at Apple.
Eco-friendly Apple Watch straps
LifeProof Eco-Friendly Band, $30
It looks good and it’s made with 99 per cent ocean plastic yarn and comes delivered in recyclable packaging. LiteProof is a brand under the well-known OtterBox, an American company that specialises in producing lifestyle accessories from phone cases to charging equipment and even tumblers. Available in various colours, including Anchored, Cuttle Up, and Seamoss.
LifeProof Eco-Friendly Band, $30
While the watch band is made from silicon, the artsy flecks scattered throughout the strap are made from recycled materials which were headed for the landfill. You’ll also be glad to know that most OtterBox products come with a limited lifetime warranty which covers replacement and shipping at no extra cost. Comes in red, green, blue, and black.
OtterBox Terrus Band, $38.60
Apple FineWoven Magnetic Link, $139
Among Apple’s announcements at this year’s keynote event in September was that they’d be using a new material that would be replacing leather as the premium material used in their accessories such as iPhone cases, MagSafe wallets, and Apple Watch straps. The tech giant calls their newest FineWoven material a “luxurious and durable microtwill”, which is made from recycled nylon and polyester. These straps are silky to the touch, provide some form of fluid resistance, and snaps together via magnetic force. Comes in Evergreen, Taupe, and Pacific Blue colours.
