(Part 3) Best smartwatch accessories according to redditors

HERE is a side-by-side I made of one Redditor's (sorry I forgot username) Apple black link bracelet and my Amazon black link bracelet that was $23.

Notice how the Apple bracelet is ever so slightly glossier than the knockoff. I have an Aluminum S4, so I would actually recommend the knockoff over the Apple bracelet as far as looks go if you have an aluminum watch, because it matches the finish a little better. A year in, it's held up extremely well in daily use. There is one link on the bottom that has some coating abrasion where I rest my hand on the desk. If it was a visible flaw I could buy 20 of these for the price of one Apple band if I needed to swap it out :) I'd bet that if it were an Apple version there would be no abrasion at all though.

EDIT: Just snapped this pic of the only wear it's had in over a year of daily wear. Check the link on the lower left you can make out it out. In my experience the coating seems to be very scratch resistant (more than the screen of Apple Watch which has couple hairline scratches while the band itself has none), but more susceptible to a year of constant friction against a hard surface like a desk. Anyway, hope that helps.

I ordered this band. I am currently deployed in Iraq with my Army Aviation unit and this has held up to a lot of abuse. I feel qualified and obligated to deem it as “military-grade”.

Standard watch lugs.

These are the crappy ones. The screws come loose, and they fall apart. You must check & maintain them by tightening the screws on a routine, regular basis. They're a big pain.

Some example sellers of this type of "screw" lug:

• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018JNRZ9I/
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010LFI2YY/
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076S2WCP9/
  
  I prefer the spring lugs. Easier to remove and swap, and no screws to fall out.
  
  Some example sellers of the "spring" lug:
  
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011RQIIDQ/
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076S6CT2K/
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072MKZH8Z/
  
  I recommend replacing those "screw" lugs with "spring" lugs.

So I know this won't be for everyone but browsing amazon I came across this and figured it'd work great for me. I love the look of leather bands but wearing them gives me some skin irritation problems. The material is super soft and flexible. Fits great and really comfortable. Thought I'd share for anyone else interested.

I would stay away from imitation Nike bands, personally. There's been a few reports on here where black paint is already starting to peel (after just weeks!) leaving the whole band looking like bright neon.

I have had my JETech milanese loop band for a few months and it's holding up so far.

The Moko link band comes highly recommended here.

For leather bands, I would stick with a manufacturer like Monowear or Clockwork Synergy (at least at Amazon) instead of a chinese knock-off of "Hermes". You're extremely likely to get more for your money and a better band in almost every aspect.

I just ordered one of these since I am switching to Android and going back to my Pebble from an AW. I'll post pictures once it arrives.

I just found this on Amazon, but it doesn't ship to Australia unfortunately. Maybe your buddy might be interested https://www.amazon.com/Sizable-Wristband-Durable-Hardware-CARTERJETT/dp/B06VX29551

This is my favorite case because it's not too big but it offers pretty good protection.

Most of the vocal people in this sub are anti-case and anti-screen protectors. However, I am not. If you have an aluminum watch, I think a screen protector is a good idea. They are prone to getting scratched. I use Skinomi screen protector:
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Skinomi-TechSkin-Anti-Scratch-Anti-Bubble/dp/B073VZ6Q7W

I used cases on my S2, but I stopped using them on my S3. I think the watch looks much better without a case and they were not necessary for me. I’m very clumsy, but I work from home and I haven’t done anything to damage the aluminum body of the watch yet. Knock on wood.

Current favorites are:

• Nomad Modern Strap (I already own it in brown and the slate gray version just shipped today)
  
• If you want a cheaper leather band (not as wide as those above), you can search for "Mifa" on Amazon. They come in black , brown, and gray and are good for the money. Just got one in black silicone with a layer of brown leather on top that looks nice with the black outlining the brown.
  
• Juuk Ligero is my go-to metal band (Cosmic Gray matches the watch almost perfectly)
  
• Carterjett's NATO bands (you'll find these on Amazon, and they come in various colors in nylon as well as black and brown leather)
  
• Apple's sport bands (I've got three: black, gray, and white)
  
• A few knockoff sport bands (silicone) in colors that I like but only work out in, so I'm not willing to spend the cash for the genuine sport bands. You can get these on Amazon or AliExpress.
  
  I own a lot of bands. It's become an addiction. Please send help.

I have this on my Apple watch and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not your typical screen protector but it does the job and I don't have to worry about it cracking as easily or coming off.

I have this charging stand and a nice metal band from a company called Juuk and I really like them both.

I have this one, it's definitely a good price and is decent quality....but it scuffs a little where you rest your hand down on a hard surface. For the price you can't go wrong, though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01933657G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got it for $18.99 from Amazon. It comes with the tool as well. Great deal.

LOL. Well, we all know that no keyboard is better than the other. It's what works best for you. I am pretty tall and have wide shoulders so using a regular keyboard hurts my wrists since I have to bend them. I type an average of 5 hours a day and that keyboard has been a lifesaver. Took some time to get used to it but after a day or so, I got fully used to it. Personally for work, I think it's a great keyboard.

​

Back to the watch, this is the one I got from Amazon. So easy to install it and remove it in case you need to change the band again for a different occasion.

I bought a 2 piece watch strap for my Apple Watch. I bought this apple watch adapter and it works perfect:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072MKZH8Z/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think we are going to start to find a lot of incompatible 3rd party bands moving forward. I had a similar issue with a third party band from amazon. Very tough to remove and thought I may have damaged the S4 SB SS case.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019IO50C6?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Avoid at all costs for S4 models

I bought a refurbished hwatch from newegg a little over a month ago, but it came with the leather strap which I'm not a huge fan of. I ordered this link band from Amazon and it's been wonderful. I saw a few reviews saying it pulls your arm hair which concerned me initially, but I have fairly hairy arms and it hasn't been a problem at all in the month I've worn it. Of course YMMV but I have absolutely no complaints.

I also bought one of that same seller's silicone bands for use at the gym. Both bands get my seal of approval FWIW.

It's a 3rd party Apple watch stand with the adapter that was posted here a while back.

https://www.amazon.com/ZenWatch-Watch-Stand-Adapter-Apple/dp/B016ZHO7FK/ (I originally got it from Ebay but from the same guy)

Looks pretty much the same as the one you linked. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTL6BRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B4XgAb4SA9SJD

These are not perfect. They get dirty and scratched easily. And one of my two makes the screen a little less responsive in one corner. But they are easy to remove, affordable, and have a minimal impact on the size/shape of the watch.

I love my Truffol 22mm Metal Link band https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GRIHGBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dT0hAbJNVJJ09

I use it everyday.

Edit: I have the hw2classic.

OK guys... Did a bit of research... Turns out the a company called spigen makes a universal aluminum smart Watch charger stand... Guys with Huawei watches have been just using a bit of 3m double sided tape to mount their chargers to it. (Huawei is larger 38 vs our 33mm...)

Try something like this.

Truffol sells some pretty decent bands, several of which are similar to the PTS stock stainless steel link band. See their site, or Amazon storefront for pics.

(Just a onetime Truffol customer, no other affiliation.)

It's a knockoff version of the ridiculously expensive link bracelet Apple sells.

watchbands:

• PRIMRIA - top-grain leather watchbands
  
  
• Truffol - link band, similar to PTS' link bands
  
  
• Clockwork Synergy - NATO straps

I have a Huawei Watch 2 Sport and Classic, they're both great. Awesome battery life (I don't think I've ended a day with less than 50%) and they have all of the extras you might want. If you get the Classic, I highly recommend this band, it looks great and is very comfortable (no pulled hairs.)

The company Carterjett has a bunch of bands for 8-10" wrists. These should fit the Series 4 watch just as well as Series 1-3.

If you are just looking for functional use and protection on the street for your Apple Watch, I recommend the SUPCASE (link below). But a sleeve like the old OD Green Timex watchbands/cover from the 80s and 90s have ran their course. Even if black I don’t feel I’d wear it but if you drop a blue line down the middle I bet you’d sell in the states!! Otherwise good looking product probably more geared for combat

I bought one of these Oittm Metal Link Bracelet bands that I use as a dressier option. With aluminum, you should be good. I have a stainless steel series 3 and if I’m not careful, the connector for the band will mark the watch case. Because the band is more rigid than others I own and to avoid marking up the watch case, you should slide both sides in at the same time. Works pretty well and it’s a dressier band, if the metal links is your style.

Honestly, I really don't want to talk about it... I bought $14 band from Walmart, paid $10 to have two links removed, then the pins didn't fit... $20 for a jeweler to put in new pins. Just buy this one from Amazon. It is what I should have done but, I was impatient.

It might be overkill, but I’ve been using this case for several months now. I sweat and bump my wrist on things a lot, and the scratches on my watch are from when I get home and switch out for a different band. The only real drawbacks are the fact you can’t swap the band, and it seems to impede the mic a little, so raising your wrist to speak to Siri seems a lot less responsive when It’s on.

Carterjett sells extra-large NATO-style bands on Amazon, and they're pretty cheap. I bought a leather band from them that could have fit on a gorilla. The leather was ... not great quality, but the hardware was solid, so I'd stick with the nylon bands.

I'm a nurse and want to wear mine at work. I just got my Apple Watch Sport and I'm worried about scratching it by bumping it on someone's bed rail or something, so I ordered a screen protector from Amazon and also some bumpers for the face to change up the color and add some protection from scuffs. I also got apple care. I may be being too cautious, but I rarely spend $350 on an accessory so you're damn right I'm gonna baby it!

Edit: This is the screen protector I ordered. I haven't received it yet but it offers edge to edge protection and seemed to have mostly positive reviews.

These are the bumpers I got. I thought they'd add a little extra protection and plus it'll be fun to switch up the colors and match them with different bands.

These are the adapters I got:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YBVA112
The LUVVITT adapters also come pretty well recommended:

Yeah I finally found a 22mm version on Amazon. I couldn't find a 20mm version anywhere. I'm going to try trimming it to fit.

I just received the MOKO stainless link band in Space Grey -

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JP6FU78/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I chose this one because it seemed that most other sellers/makers offer a black option but not a grey option. It's not a perfect match, but I don't really notice it unless I look really close. Might prefer black now that I try it out.

Here are a couple photos of it on my arm. It's immediately clear that the build is NOT the same as the Apple version (at $23 vs $550 I would expect as much) and that's mostly visible in the different clasp and the larger gaps betwen links. Particularly at the end links the gap is significant and a bit distracting. It's a little tight on my wrist in this photo, I may insert one more link and see if that relaxes the gaps a little bit.

I also notice there are 3 "ripples" on the lugs where they attach to the watch. Artifacts of the lug mechanism construction, I'm sure.

In any case, I think it's plenty "solid" in its build, but it's not perfect. The Apple version is a much more complicated and tightly machined piece of work to make such a flawless and clean look, but if you just want something that looks and feels similar, to dress up your watch a bit, it's probably perfectly fine.

EDIT: I'm looking on Amazon and noticing that there appear to be two different MOKO versions of this band, mine has a much simpler clasp that doesn't look at all like the Apple clasp, but there is another one that's $2 more which has a clasp design much closer to Apple's. I'd definitely lean toward that one if you're inclined to get one of these.

I bought this metal bracelet and this leather strap. The brown leather looks great with the stainless watch. Also, both came with the quick release pins. The leather band fits great on my large wrist. Usually I'm at the last one or two holes on a leather strap. I'm right in the middle on this one. You'll need to remove some links on the metal bracelet unless you have giant wrists. I removed 2 or 3 of them. Any watch store can do this. Or you can do what I did and buy a watch repair kit.

I have a Truffol one on my Frontier https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0111I89LQ/ Looks excellent.

Interesting, so I guess they should all be shipping soon? I actually hadn't even seen the emails about that delay until yesterday (suddenly dawned on me they'd said early August so I went looking). No shipping notification here yet tho.

The gold details on the band you linked might match well with the ZW3, hard to say... I like simpler looking bands, probably gonna buy this soon as I get my shipping notice:

A few months ago they had it in a titanium grey color as well, but I think black would work better with the black/gunmetal ZW3 anyway, it's also come down in price (used to be around $40).

I'm curious to try some of the mock NATO 2-piece nylon straps I've been seeing on Amazon but I'm not sure what color would look good with the ZW3, and I already have the ASUS silicon/rubber band for outdoor activities anyway... Plus the leather Kartice.

I might go look at the leather bands at Worn & Wound, I bought one from there for my original 360 made of Horween Chromexcel (very different than the stock 360 band) and I really liked it a lot, pricier but the difference in quality was obvious. The Kartice is holding up OK tho.

This stand + a standard drinks bottle cap jammed into the hole + 3M tape (or black tac) = an excellent HWatch stand.
