Apple Watch Bands Variety – Rubber B’s Best Picks

A pre-eminent creator of custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B has spent the last several years crafting watch straps for watches for some of the most highly respected watchmakers in both Europe and North America, including Rolex, Tudor, and Apple. That last company will actually be what this piece is about, as we are going to take a closer look at some of the different types of Apple Watch bands that are currently available.

At some point, you will eventually have to replace your Apple Watch bands – on average, most watchbands last for around five years before a replacement needs to be purchased. Because there are so many different types of styles and materials to choose from, it would be fairly easy to feel a little overwhelmed when trying to find the right Apple watch strap for your watch. In order to make things a little bit easier, we have compiled this helpful guide to help you find the best strap for your Apple watch.

How Will the Apple Watch Straps Be Categorized?

For the purpose of simplicity, we have decided to organize this article by the type of material the Apple watch band strap is made out of. We will spend some time talking about the material itself, as well as listing out some pros and cons to consider before making any kind of final purchase.

Rubber Watch Straps For the Apple Watch

Of all of the types of Apple watch bands that you can currently purchase, a rubber Apple watch strap is likely going to be the best option, especially in terms of getting the best possible deal for what you are spending on the strap. There are a wide-ranging number of reasons for this which are worth exploring further.

To begin with, in terms of simply locating the product in question, it is much easier to find rubber Apple watch bands than it is to find them when compared to other materials. This is because more replacement Apple watch straps are made from rubber than any other kind of material.

This partially has to do with the aesthetic of the watch itself, which is very sleek and modern looking. When compared to metal or leather, the Apple watch just looks like it should be paired with a rubber strap, which is why the default strap that comes with the watch is, indeed, a rubber one.

But there are many other benefits to choosing rubber Apple watch bands than simply how they look or that you’re more likely to find one when you are trying to purchase a replacement strap. From a practical standpoint, rubber is one of the most durable materials that a watch strap can be made from, and will often outperform most other materials when subjected to quality control tests.

Practically speaking, that means that if you have an active lifestyle of any kind, you can get a rubber watch strap wet, or dirty, or have it in less than ideal conditions and not have to worry about it being significantly damaged.

Nylon Watch Straps For the Apple Watch

Nylon is arguably the second most popular choice for Apple watch straps, and there certainly are positives to owning a nylon watch strap. They do tend to be cheaper than rubber Apple watch straps, and are often specially designed for those who like to keep active.

However, there are some significant drawbacks to purchasing a nylon Apple watch strap as well. First and foremost is the fact that these straps are not cheaper by accident – oftentimes, they simply are not as durable as some of the other materials that you can have your replacement watch strap made from. And as with many other things in life, you will often find that you get what you pay for.

Additionally, these straps are great for sporting activities, but outside of that, they aren’t really appropriate for any other kind of event. If you are a person who needs your watch to fit into a variety of different styles and places, nylon straps simply don’t offer that kind of aesthetic versatility.

Leather Watch Straps For the Apple Watch

These are new, relatively speaking, and to be honest, there are not that many options available if you are looking for a leather watch strap for your Apple watch. Leather is always a stylish option, but unfortunately, the fact that it looks great, upon closer examination, is about the only thing it has going it for it from a material selection standpoint.

Despite the connotations people may have about how “tough” leather is, it is actually one of the least durable materials when it comes to Apple watch straps. You cannot get it wet at all, and the material is notoriously difficult to clean. Being that the Apple watch is primarily a fitness tracker, it means that someone who owns this particular type of watch is likely someone who enjoys working out. However, you will not be able to wear your leather watch strap while exercising, meaning you will need an additional replacement strap that you can use strictly for exercise purposes.
