Best Apple Watch titanium bands
Nomad Titanium Band
Nomad’s Titanium Band encompasses a modern take on a classic metal link bracelet. Designed with over twenty titanium links and a set of our custom lugs, this strap will elevate the look of any Apple Watch. It features Diamond-Like Carbon coating, up to ten removable links, an ultra-thin clasp, and comes in two variants: black and silver. It is a substantial investment at $199 but it’s one that will last, and it’s actually considerably cheaper than the Link Bracelet that Apple is offering. It’s a great option to pair with your Apple Watch titanium.
Best Apple Watch stainless steel bands
Stainless steel is a classic material when it comes to watches and watch bands. It’s durable, classy, very tough (as strong as titanium, although heavier), and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Plus, there’s a wide variety of makes and models to choose from. Of course, a stainless steel band will suit your stainless steel Apple Watch perfectly but it can work with titanium too. Cosmetically, both metals can be made to look quite similar, and you can get a stainless steel band for your Apple Watch Titanium Edition as a budget choice, without sacrificing durability or looks.
Epic Stainless Steel Watch Band
The tightly knit Milanese mesh is lightweight and surprisingly soft against your skin and features a unique loop and magnetic clasp design. There are six colors to choose from, including the Rainbow band which displays a really cool oily effect.
You can opt for a traditional link variant with silver, black, and gold color options, plus some two-tone combinations. Prices are right as well, you can get a stainless steel link band for as low as $59.95, while the Milanese mesh bands start at $29.95.
Apple Milanese Loop
There’s nothing wrong with Apple’s own collection of bands, of course. If you want to be brand-loyal, and get a stainless steel band for your Apple Watch at the same time, there’s the Milanese Loop option. It’s way cheaper than the Link Band and comes in three colors to perfectly match the case colors of the Apple Watch stainless steel edition. The band is woven on specialized Italian machines, the smooth stainless steel mesh wraps fluidly around your wrist. It’s also fully magnetic, which means that the Milanese Loop is infinitely adjustable, ensuring a perfect fit.
Best Apple Watch leather bands
Leather is the ultimate marriage between luxury and comfort when it comes to watch bands. It also screams tradition, as it has been used as a material for watch bands since those devices found their way onto our wrists for the first time. Leather is also strong, pleasant to the touch, and it stretches a bit, ensuring a perfect fit. It can wear with time but sometimes it’s not a drawback and adds that vintage looks many seek and love. With all that being said, leather bands can vary greatly in looks and price, and if you’re looking for options, here’s where you’ll find them.
Apple Watch Hermès leather band
Let’s start with something premium. The Hermes collection is a sleek twist on an Hermès classic. The hidden deployment buckle opens with a click of the two side buttons, and the band fits comfortably and securely. The bands are Available in Noir Swift leather and Ébène Barénia leather. Style comes at a price, and it’s $539.00 for the 44mm version. There’s no way around it, it’s an expensive band but it will add panage to your Apple Watch and make it stand up to those fancy Swiss watch pieces at parties and formal occasions.
Venito Forio Handmade Premium Leather Watch Band
There’s another option if you still want to with leather but $500+ isn’t working for you. The leather bands from Venito Forio are handcrafted from soft full grain genuine leather with a unique texture. The bands feature a simple, classic buckle closure, making it comfortable and adjustable. Full-grain leather is considered the strongest and most durable type of leather. It is designed to resist moisture and look more beautiful over time, developing its own characteristic-rich patina over the course of its life. So, for just $69.90 you can give your Apple Watch the class and style it deserves. Venito Forio bands also come in a wide variety of colors.

Best Apple Watch sport bands
The Apple Watch is packed with health and fitness features. For all you sporty types, who like to hit the gym or train outside, there’s a matching Apple Watch band to pair with your active style. The most important feature of a sports band is how comfortable it is, as well as its weight.
Apple Nike Sport Band
The Nike Sport Band is an obvious choice for active people with a sporty lifestyle. It’s made from a custom high-performance fluoroelastomer with compression-molded perforations for breathability. This band is durable and strong, yet surprisingly soft. The smooth, dense material drapes elegantly across your wrist and feels comfortable next to your skin. An innovative pin-and-tuck closure ensures a clean fit. The band is available in some cool colors too, including Bright Mango and Pride, and costs just $49.
Best Apple Watch exotic bands
If you want to be extra-exotic in your choice of Apple Watch band, and titanium is not fancy enough, there are other options. You can opt for a ceramic band and that’s a bit of an irony, because Apple dropped the ceramic case option in the Series 6 lineup. Ceramic is very hard and it just doesn’t scratch (unless you use a diamond or something similar in hardness) but it’s a brittle material. There’s a chance your fancy new ceramic band shatters when dropped or chips if you bump into something. That being said, the white ceramic link band from Epic is just gorgeous and you won’t get anything similar in look and feel. It’s $69.95.
Wood is another exotic option, at least when it comes to watch bands. You can’t do much designwise, so the only option is a Link type band but you have a wide variety of woods. Colors and texture also vary and there are also some hybrid options amalgamating wood and metal into something quite unique. These bands are not that expensive too, you can find one for a couple of bucks on Amazon, but if you want quality, you’ll need to prepare for ceramic-like prices.
