The best Apple Watch bands are made from a range of materials. The one that's right for you depends on your preferences and what you'll use the band for. Value: There's a big difference between the price of a watch band whether it's actually worth that price tag because it's well assembled, which is a big thing we look for in determining value. Comfort: It's not enough for an Apple Watch to feel good on your wrist, it should also be able to be worn under a bunch of different clothing types to ensure there's no catching or pulling on your clothes.

Features: Some watch bands can do more than just exist on your wrist. Features like flexibility or elasticity, as well as ease of attachment and removal are tested to ensure it's not bulky or awkward to use in different situations. For example, silicone options are the best for working out. Silicone is usually easy to clean and won't absorb moisture, making it sweatproof.If exercise isn't on the agenda then you can look to something classier, like a metal or leather band - and if money is no object then designer bands could be worth considering. What materials are the best Apple Watch bands made of?

When choosing an Apple Watch band the first two things you should consider are your budget and what you plan to do while wearing the Apple Watch - most notably whether you plan to exercise in it, whether you plan to swim in it, and whether you'll wear it somewhere smart. Nylon is a good option for a comfortable band, especially if you look for an Apple Watch strap made from super soft nylon. Nylon bands are some of the ones with the best pattern and color options, as well as the popular woven fabric look. Apple Watch bands are largely tested by wearing them, but specific criteria exist to determine what makes the list. Those criteria are comfort, features, availability and value. With all those considerations in mind, you can start to round down the best strap for you. Leather straps for example are no good for swimming, and if you plan to extensively exercise then a dedicated workout band might be the best choice. Our bands clean up well with soap and water if they get dirty (more instructions included in the box). To keep your MobyFox band looking as good as possible for as long as possible, we do suggest avoiding excessive exposure to hand sanitizer, which can affect the longevity of the printed design.Smaller Apple Watches with a casing size of 40mm or 41mm use the same-sized smaller bands, while Watches that measure 42mm, 44mm, or 45mm need the same series of larger bands. The 49mm Apple Watch Ultra also works with the same-sized bands as the 45mm Apple Watches.
