Three Apple Watch bands for $10? Now that’s what I call a good bang for your buck! For real though, you won’t be disappointed with these soft silicone ones, which are specially designed for running, swimming, climbing, cycling, and other outdoor activities. (If you’re not the ~outdoorsy~ type, these bands are also perfect for a gym workout.) They’re flexible and lightweight, plus the perforations prevent the build-up of sweat, dust, dirt, and odor.
You really can’t go wrong with Apple’s classic sport band… it’s just so chic and simple (especially in the white colorway!). The pin-and-tuck closure creates a clean fit, while the high-performance fluoroelastomer material is smooth, strong, and durable.
Soft and breathable, this nylon band is easy to clean and never traps sweat during a workout. It features a double-buckle design and connecting velcro for added security and the perfect fit every time. “It’s easy for me to adjust the band to fit my small wrists,” one reviewer writes.

You’re looking at the world’s first universal watch strap—it’s compatible with watches from Apple, Samsung, Daniel Wellington, Michael Kors, and basically any other brand that uses 20mm or 24mm width straps. And for $102, you’ll get a single and a double tour strap (both made from high-quality Italian leather), so the styling possibilities are endless.
The way this slim, streamlined band offsets the wide, square-shaped Apple Watch is just too good. It’s lightweight, breathable, non-slip, and extremely comfortable. Plus, this band is available in two different sizes and 38 (yes, 38!) different colorways.
