Ok i will show you my personal favorite straps
I will divided them into two sections, first are more formal bands
Then I will show you the more casual ones
Formal style like leather, metal, etc.
The kind that can be worn at work or at formal occasions
For everyday casual wear
Some are more sporty and comfortable
I will probably talk about what I like and what I don’t like
and of course Ilke most of them on this video
OK, let's introduce the formal style first
First look at the most expensive of all my straps
Is Apple ’s original space gray stainless steel bracelet
This price is $ 449 USD for $ 13900 in Taiwan
$ 3,000 for the silver model
Only Hermes can surpass this price in the original factory.
I think this texture is really very good
I bought it on eBay about two or three years ago
Seriously, I think this kind of watchband is smart to buy used
Not like leather
You might care about sweating from the previous user
Or what smell might be left
This type of metal is less likely to have this problem
It ’s easier to clean up
I compared with some third-party copycat versions at that time
The original factory's workmanship, especially edge processing
The quality is very good
There is no such kind of sharp metal edge
so you don't have to worry about getting cut
But it does not mean that the same quality can be achieved without third-party models.
I just didn’t compare more since
I especially like its resizing design
Every small button here can be pressed
To disassemble every link
Be careful to put away the removed parts
If you lose it, you can buy it with Apple separately
But a group of 6 also costs $40 USD $1600NTD
Already can buy another sports strap
Speaking of the shortcomings of this one
The first is of course weight
But I think people who wear metal watches should be used to it
Only people like me who don’t wear watches will complain about it
Another point is that it is more limited in matching watch case.
I personally think that only the space gray stainless steel body is more suitable
Then again, this year's titanium alloy black models may be ok
For myself
I won't spend that much money on watch straps
But if you see second-hand goods that are priced or in good condition
I still quite push this one
Let's talk about the part of the Milanese watch
I didn't buy the original one
Because I wanted to try it first
So buy a trial at a subsidiary factory first
I like this look very much
But there are some disadvantages in practical use
I ’m already a man with less body hair, but will still get caught on the holes
It is recommended to try it first
The original one is $99USD $3100NTD
3rd party one are around $10-$30
Let's talk about several leather styles
All over here
Which one to start with?
Okay, let ’s talk about this one I just got
I have two colors here
One is caramel brown
The other is that gravel lime looks a bit ... so difficult to describe
This is a local handmade brand Alto
If you often visit Eslite or Creative Store, you should have seen it
I remember I bought them before
In fact, there are several handmade brands in Taiwan that I really like
Alto's, I think the tone is very good.
This caramel brown one is a little bit more caramel than you normally see
This description seems difficult to understand
It just feels a little more saturated
I feel this will be suitable for slowly aging color
The gravel limestone is also very special.
I don't know how to describe this color
Haven't seen this on other brands
It's a faint but amazing shade
In terms of style
Their design is more classic
In other words, there are some leather models
It looks like this is rough
The classic model is more versatile
It seems that you can wear anything other than sportswear
But don’t wear a leather strap to workout
it will smelled after a while
It can be quite distressed if it is scratched or worn
If you match the color of the watch case body
The caramel brown looks good in silver or black.
Then the gravel and lime silver and black body are fine.
They also have blue and black leather options
But they actually have a lime green on the phone case
I really want to see this color strap
I don't know what everyone thinks?
maybe my strange taste ...
The price is $100USD $2980NTD
If you compare
Apple's original leather strap starts at $99 USD $ 3100
To the classic model is $149 USD $ 4600
Hermes will not talk about it
Now in the 44mm size, only the magnetic ring is left.
This classic buckle has been discontinued
Seriously on a leather strap
Probably the only thing I recommend is not to buy the original one
Not that it's bad
Price is a consideration
I think these handmade leather straps are a bit warmer
Wide choice of design and colors
There is another
Previously introduced
Meridio handmade leather strap
This is a rougher design
I like this way of his camouflage
Not that obvious
But it will have different performance under different gloss
After wearing it for a while
Except for the thick part on the side, it ’s a bit stuck.
Other parts are quite satisfactory
The other is this dark brown holey style
Brush old design on leather
It's also a rougher version
The holes above are a little breathable
But still do n’t really take this to exercise
I still feel a little sticky when I sweat
Both prices are $ 104USD
But sometimes it goes down to $ 70- $ 80
But because it was sent from Italy
Still have to add $ 15 international shipping
Maybe it ’s more cost-effective to buy multiple people to share the freight
Here comes a cheaper one
This brand is called LAUT
Audiences living in the U.S. should all have seen them at Target
LAUT takes up a lot of exhibition space inside
I used to notice their phone cases
But this green strap caught my attention
It ’s a pity that after opening, its color is a little different from the packaging
But it still looks good
This is also a leather strap
But on the leather feel
Just a little different from those handmade models
Don't know how to describe
Although it is also genuine leather, it is a bit heavy with plastic
It ’s more like it ’s produced in a large number of factories
This advantage may be that the price can be lowered a bit.
This is priced at $50 USD
I actually like the texture and color of the back skin
This color is very similar to this year's forest green leather case
Hope to make this color watchband in the future
Let's introduce a more casual sports strap
The first is the silicone strap of Apple's original Nike.
This one should be the one I wear most often
Because do n’t worry about it getting dirty
Do n’t be afraid to get in the water
So do n’t be careful to protect
You can also wear it directly when washing your hands
Compared with ordinary silicone models
Because there are these small holes
Besides ventilation
It also has the function of reducing weight and making it softer
In fact, the original silicone is because of the good material
It's a pretty heavy strap
Softness is not so good
Nike just solved these two problems
But the disadvantage is that there are not many choices in color
Except black and white are basic models
Many colors are season-limited
Sometimes it wo n’t come out again
So if you see a favorite color
Don't consider buying directly
If you wear it
Some people say it's ugly and hard to match clothes
What do you think? I feel okay
I think it might be because other than the black version
The others are two-color
It may be difficult to match colors in general wear.
Another one is the original nylon sports watch ring
I also like to wear this
Its advantage is that it is very light
Is the lightest one in the original strap
The material is also very breathable
With a bit of flexibility
Usually comfortable to wear
Wear it for sports
Insist on speaking down
Just suck water
When I lived in the U.S. because the weather was drier
Just wipe with a tissue when it gets wet
I'll kill myself after a while
I used to swim even before
But in Taiwan, the climate is humid
Not so fast
So it feels sticky
If you really wear sports
It ’s better to wash it every day.
After all, if you do n’t wash it after sweating, you will smell.
The difference between this Nike version is that it has reflective yarn inside
It's safer to run at night
Same in terms of color
In addition to basic black and white
All other colors are season limited
So the same
See what you like, start quickly
Then there is this original silicone strap
This style should be the most versatile
The color is the same for many seasons
Some rare colors have soared to high prices on eBay
It's really a bit unexpected
I think this strap is very versatile
Although the material is silicone
But because of the shape design
Plus, as mentioned earlier, the silicone used by Apple is of high quality
Does not really feel like wearing a normal silicone strap
Low friction to the skin
I also lost a lot of money to buy a lot of original
Because I bought the subsidiary factory several times before
But the used skin feels worse than the original ones.
So my suggestion is
Like this silicone and Nike's silicone
Buy as much as possible if you can
The texture is really too bad
Another suggestion is to hear less
If you also have 44mm and 40mm watches like me
Or you might use a different size body with your family or girlfriend
In fact, some straps can buy 40mm size
In the case of silicone
The width of the two sizes is not much different
If you attach a 40mm strap to a 44mm watch
If you go carefully, you ca n’t see the difference.
This way you can buy many different colors for the two watch bodies to share
Unless your wrists are really thick
Because 44mm straps are usually longer
If you do n’t have this demand, there is no difference
But for me a strap color
Just buying a size saves a lot of money
If you turn a 44mm strap on a 40mm watch in turn
The part shown here is really quite obvious.
In fact, it's worth spending the money on the strap
Unless Apple changes design suddenly
Otherwise it can be used forever
Collect different styles and colors slowly
Actually like this sports casual
I also tried many different brands
But in the future, my favorite ones are still the original ones.
So I think its quality
It's worth the price (somewhat expensive)
If you are lucky enough to buy some popular colors
You may make a profit if you sell it later
But of course do n’t invest because of this
Too dangerous
