One of the cool things about the Apple Watch is how easily you can replace the band to customize it. However, Apple’s replacement bands can cost you quite a lot, with many of them costing around $150. Thankfully, there are many 3rd party bands that are just as great and for a fraction of the price, here are our top 5!
JETech Milanese Loop Stainless Steel Band with Magnet Lock:
This Milanese Loop stainless steel band will up the look of your Apple Watch instantly. Just like the real deal, this band has no buckle, but uses a strong magnet to hold together. Available in Silver or Black. Buy it here.
iVAPO Stainless Steel Apple Watch Band:
This Stainless Steel band by iVAPO gives your Apple Watch a nice classic look and feel. Available in sizes 42mm and 38mm and in three colors: Space Gray, Rose Gold and Gold. It also includes a link removal tool to help you resize the band. Buy it here.
