Unless you spend a lot of cash with Apple watch straps, you get a pretty boring strap
as standard.
I love my Apple watch but what keeps it fresh for me are the different straps that I use.
In this video I will share some of the coolest Apple Watch strap alternatives from a brand
that I really like called Casetify.
They just released a range of Saffiano Vegan Leather AND a Stainless Steel Apple Watch
band that are awesome!
I will put links down below but make sure to watch the whole video for the discount
code information FOR YOU.
If you're new here, I am Alex and I do down to earth tech reviews. And I am here every
week.
During this video I will be going outside and coming back just to give something else
to look at. While I am talking to you, let's go for a quick drive down the English countryside...
If you have an Apple Watch I know how you exactly feel.
After a while the strap that it comes with gets a bit boring.
Even if you DID buy an expensive one, like the Milanese loop, there are occasions when
that type of strap is a bit too much.
For instance, going to the gym or going for a run, that milanese loop isn't really great
for that.
It kind pulls on your hairs a little bit and becomes loose and uncomfortable when you're
running.
After a while it gets quite dirty as well and have you tried to clean this thing?
Yeah, not an easy task.
Another great thing about the Apple Watch is the fact you can have a different watch
face every day. Just changing your faces
Depending on your mood, depending on where you are going…. or even depending on what
you are wearing!
But realistically, changing the watch faces isn't enough.
And rather than spending hundreds more on a product that you already spent quite a bit
of money on, I think Casetify can really help with top quality watch straps that don't break
the bank.
And I am not talking about going completely cheap and getting a strap on Amazon - although
you CAN find some good ones there.
I think when talk about balancing quality and great value for money, this is where Casetify
really shine.
Casetify have incredible designs and the ability for you to customise your own that I really
haven't seen anywhere else with the same quality.
Full disclosure guys, Casetify did send me these products to review but have ABSOLUTELY
no say in the content that I produce.
You may notice that this is a sponsored video, and it's my choice to disclose that. I want
you to know that Casetify are a sponsor of my channel. And I'd rather be transparent
with you on that.
Having said that, I would not partner with any brand that I didn't believe in. And like
many other products I review here on this channel, I was a Casetify customer way before
they reached out. So that is a win-win for me when I decide to work with a brand that
I was already a customer of.
So it's cool that they support me... but that doesn't mean I won't highlight any issues
I find.
With that little spiel out of the way...
They also have thousands of different prints to choose from.
The leather they use is Cruelty-free vegan leather, with an inner lining which makes
it really comfortable.
And you can tell guys, there is no rough edges and even after wearing this all day long,
you won't feel it catching on your skin or hairs... Very comfy to wear.
Even if you are having a fairly active day, going to gym or for a run for example, these
watch straps have a water, sweat, and scratch resistant coating.
So you don't have to worry about it getting wet or anything.
And if that wasn't enough to convince you, Casetify are really good when it comes to
being environmentally friendly. CAsetify's Saffiano bands are made with high quality
biodegradable leather.
With their other products you will also notice that they use a lot of recyclable materials,
really great to see!
Do you have an older version of the Apple Watch, or maybe you got the Apple Watch SE?
No problem! These CASETiFY straps are compatible with
all Apple Watches from Series 1, to Series 6.
As I mentioned, they use Saffiano vegan leather which feels FANTASTIC to the touch.
Sometimes you get all these claims about leather but it only takes removing from the box and
feeling the product to know that the leather here is legit high quality .
And it looks great! I have this customised option here with my initials on them.
Black and Gold which is a colour combination that I really like and think go really well
so that's the combination I went with.
But take a look at this one, which is a collab with Pangram Pangram, a Montreal based brand
that specialise in typography art. Absolutely love this, very original.
But if this is not to your taste... Casetify have lots and lots of different customisable
straps as well, it was really difficult to choose just one for this video.
With some of the designs, you can actually go and choose a matching phone case as well.
When you spend so much on a new device, you want to make sure it is well protected.
And CASETiFY make these beautiful protective cases for all of the Samsung phones going
back to the S9 and all of the the iPhones too.
And the best thing, they are kindly giving ALL MY VIEWERS... 15% OFF to all my viewers.
That's amazing value guys! Go to casetify.com/alexg today to get your 15% off your new apple Watch

Before we talk about this gorgeous stainless steel option, just a quick reminder for you
to take a look at my channel and if you like my stuff, make sure to subscribe.
I am here every week and there's about 100 videos already some quite popular with my
audience that you might enjoy as well. That's it, wont waste more of your time.
Oh yeah, don't forget the notification bell too!
Now, take a look at this Stainless Steel watch band guys, this one is really classy!
CASETiFY make these with premium quality stainless steel, so you know that these will last a
long time.
They come in FIVE different colours, and they are gorgeous. They have Rose gold, Silver,
Black, Blue and Two-tone Gold/Silver so... you can really pair these with your favourite
outfit, no problem.
They send a link remover tool that allows you to adjust the size to fit your wrist,
so that is really cool.
Gotta say though... This was tricky to do. But once it's done
you don't have to worry about it anymore. With a bit of patience it took me less than
5 minutes to do it.
And just like the Saffiano leather ones, these bands are also water-resistant, so perfect
for your daily usage.
What I am really impressed about, on this stainless steel one.... is how comfortable
it feels.
I have actually bought some cheap ones from Amazon a few months ago. They looked great
online but it took me a few minutes to wear it and... realise that it was a mistake and...
it's been in my drawer ever since.
It has these really rough edges that would scratch my desk, my laptop and not only that...
It pulled on my skin and hair which was terrible.
So you are paying a little bit more with Casetify but... Like the CAsetify protective phone
cases, you are getting great quality with these Apple Watch straps.
So yes, the Apple Watch is many things in one product, including a great fashion accessory.
Whether people (including myself) like to admit that or not, it is a fashion thing.
And I think its great that CASETiFY gives us so many options to make the Apple Watch
even more enjoyable.
whether you choose to go with the leather or stainless steel options, they are much
more affordable than Apple's own accessories without compromising on style and quality.
Remember, to get the 15% OFF go to casetify.com/AlexG today to claim your discount.
Short and sweet! I will see you and smiling faces in the next one!
