The Apple Watch is Starting to Get a Little Bit Long in the Tooth: Seven Third-Party Bands to Breathe New Life into Your Wearable

Apple recently debuted their woven nylon bands earlier this year with mixed reactions. However, it seems that their latest release may not be enough to breathe new life into your Apple Watch. Fortunately, there are many third-party bands available that can give your wearable a fresh new look and feel.

One of the first third-party bands to catch our attention is the Mono Wear nylon band. This band comes in six different colors, including purple, red, turquoise, and black. The Mono Wear nylon band gives the Apple Watch a classic military look, making it perfect for those who want a more rugged and stylish accessory. The quality of the materials and stitching is good enough for "covert operations," as the author puts it.

However, nylon may not be everyone's cup of tea. If you're looking for something that offers a little more comfort and durability, then the Subcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Band might be the perfect option for you. This band transforms your Apple Watch into something of a G-Shock competitor, providing greater protection against bumps and impacts. The rugged plastic and rubber construction provides plenty of protection, and rather than a separate band, the case is one solid unit that won't ping off when working out.

The Subcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Band is also available for around $20, making it an affordable option for those who want to upgrade their Apple Watch strap without breaking the bank. However, if you're looking for something more high-end, then the Whip Labs Link Bracelet might be worth considering. This bracelet looks almost identical to Apple's metal link bracelets and costs just under $70.

The Whip Labs Link Bracelet features a quick snap clasp that allows for a quick and secure fit, as well as a design that provides breathability. The bracelet can be adjusted like any other standard link bracelet and comes in both silver and black colors. One of the best things about this bracelet is that it doesn't pinch at the skin or catch those little hairs like some other straps do. This makes it perfect for anyone with a space gray Apple Watch.

If you're not looking to spend a fortune on your Apple Watch strap, then you might be surprised by how affordable alternatives can be. The author recently ordered a black sport band for their 42mm Apple Watch for around $7. Not only is this a fraction of the price of the original Apple band, but it's still perfectly functional and looks great.

The best part about these alternative bands is that they're often available in a wide range of colors, so you can choose one that matches your personal style. And with some brands offering free iOS apps that allow you to design your own strap, you can create a truly unique accessory that reflects your individuality.

For those who want something a little more high-end, the Mono Wear silver metal link band is a stunning option. This band features a suave and elegant design that transforms your Apple Watch into something of a luxury accessory. The quality of this band is top-notch, with hand-cut and assembled leather straps that rarely show signs of wear. The stitching is impeccable, and the colors combined with the vintage style distressing give the strap a heritage feel.

Finally, for those who want to add a touch of elegance to their Apple Watch, the Strap Lee Leather Band is a great option. This band comes in six different colors, including nude leather that looks a little darker than it did on the website. The leather bands are hand-cut and assembled, giving them a premium feel that's hard to match.

The best part about these leather bands is the quality control that Strap Lee puts into each and every one of their straps. They offer a Tryon guarantee with every strap, so you can trust that your new band will be high-quality and long-lasting. With its heritage feel and vintage style distressing, this band is perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of sophistication to their Apple Watch.

Overall, there are many third-party bands available that can breathe new life into your Apple Watch. Whether you're looking for something classic and rugged or elegant and luxurious, there's sure to be a strap out there that suits your style and budget. So why not explore some of these options and see what you think? You might just find yourself falling in love with your new favorite accessory.
