In our testing, we found Casetify’s Link Bracelet (£65) the easiest to add and remove links and achieve the best fit. Link bracelets are slightly more of a hassle to find the correct fit for than their magnetic counterparts, but get it right and the reward is a traditional wristwatch look on the wrist. Price: £14 | Check price on Amazon | Spigen Pros: Extremely comfortable easy to take on and off Cons: Function over form And, while it won't wow, it looks extremely okay. It's extremely comfortable, extremely comfortable and extremely affordable. ![]() The flaws of the Spigen Lite Fit won't be considered flaws for the majority considering this kind of cut-price band, however. You won't be mistaking this lightweight band for luxurious leather or gleaming metal when it touches your wrist, look elsewhere if that's something you care about. It'd be unfair to call these bands from Spigen ugly – they're functional – but, with understated colours in the form of Black, Navy and Khaki, you won't be turning many heads. The biggest drawback of the Lite Fit comes down to looks and an absence of quality materials. This remarkably cheap band is one of the most comfortable around, it's a rare option that'll have you forgetting it's on your wrist. ![]() The stretchy lightweight fabric used on the Lite Fit makes it an easy watch band to get on and off. Price: £49 | Check price on Amazon | Apple Pros: Exercise-friendly durable easy to clean between workouts Cons: Nothing much to grumble about Keep this in mind, since there’s few things worse than the smell of a zillion workouts lodged into your Apple Watch band.Īdd this to the frankly ridiculous amount of colours Apple has available every season, and you would be forgiven for owning a different Sport Band for every day of the week. Apple also has its woven nylon Sport Loop (£49), which is certainly pretty and arguably slightly comfier, but the Sport Band still edges out its sibling when it comes to exercise thanks to the ease of cleaning.Īpple recommends removing bands, wiping them down with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before drying off, and this is much simpler with rubber than fabric. With metal and leather variations not always ideal for runs, swims and whatever else, the rubbery material (fluoroelastomer, if you must know) really comes into its own during proper workouts. The Apple Sport Band (£49) may not be the sexiest option on this list, but it is perhaps the most versatile strap you can attach to your watch. However, there is a medium (150mm - 185mm) and large (180mm - 210mm) strap to choose from. The only disappointment is that it’s not available for smaller Apple Watch case sizes - only for the 42mm and 44mm versions. ![]() Just consider switching this one out for HIIT classes and long-distance outdoor exercise. Weightlifting, yoga sessions and anything non-sweaty are fine from our experience. Out of all the bands we tested, this is the one that we never wanted to take off - even for exercise, though we wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for anything too taxing. Few, if any, wrap as effortlessly as the Leather Loop, with magnets beneath the quilted leather promising a secure fit that you can adjust precisely as your wrist size fluctuates throughout the day. Our biggest gripe with leather bands tends to be their rigidity, which often means they aren’t tight enough around the wrist or mould into an uneven shape. Apple’s Leather Loop (£99) is the best overall pick for a number of reasons, but the biggest advantage it has over its leathery counterparts is its comfort and durability.
