Casetify01Casetify Apple Watch Bands
Casetify: Apple Watch BandsCasetify, a veteran at making custom iPhone cases also makes bands for Apple Watches. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, but if you have already gone through their collection and still can’t find anything, you have the option of designing your own band. Upload any photo or design and you can see it on your Apple Watch band. You could even upload a photo of your Apple Watch to put on your Apple Watch, if you want to get meta with it.

Click: Click, the self proclaimed first Watch band adapter, allows Apple Watch owners to put any traditional watch strap on to their Apple Watch. It’s ideal for anyone who already has a watch strap they’d love to see on their new device. And with these adapters, band options are limitless.
Brikk03Lux Watch Omni by Brikk
Lux Watch Omni by Brikk: Although Brikk sells customized Apple Watches as a whole instead of just the band, odds are that even if it did sell bands, you wouldn’t be able to afford them. The especially impressive Lux Watch Omni sports 18-karats of yellow and pink gold, and a diamond encrusted band. This option is best suited for anyone who think the gold Apple Watch Edition is more of a common man’s watch.
ABCase Slap and Go04ABCase Slap and Go
ABCase Slap and Go: The slap bracelets that were popular in the 90s are back, and this time they have an expensive piece of technology attached. The concept is the same: Slap the band against your wrist and it immediately fastens. Great for kids (if your kids own Apple Watches...) or anyone obsessed with nostalgia/speed.
Cubify05Flex Bands by Freshfiber
Flex Bands by Freshfiber: What better way to show that you are living in the future than to strap a 3D-printed band onto your Apple Watch? Between the four geometric patterns offered by Freshfiber, there is sure to be something that fits your style. The Flex Bands also come in four different colors and sizes ranging from XS to XL, allowing true customization.
Ottim06Steel Link Bracelet by Ottim
Steel Link Bracelet by Ottim: If you like the way that Apple’s Link Bracelet looks, but can’t justify the $449 price tag, the Link Bracelet by Ottim is a good alternative. The bracelet has a similar look to the Apple version and even has a similar butterfly clasp. Plus, this version costs less than a tenth of Apple’s.
Applesons/Etsy07Italian Leather Band by Applesons
Italian Leather Band by Applesons: Nothing says “sophisticated watch” like a premium leather strap, and since these straps are handmade with Italian leather, you know that you are getting the highest quality materials. The straps come in standard leather or an embossed crocodile skin pattern. And since the bands only cost $60-$65, they’re a steal compared to Apple’s own offerings.
Reserve Strap08Reserve Strap
Reserve Strap: If you love your Apple Watch so much that you quickly drain its battery, show your watch you care by buying it the Reserve Strap. This strap acts as an external battery that can charge your watch while you wear it. The website advertises that it can provide an impressive additional 30 hours of battery life.
