if you just bought a new apple watch
i know how you feel this trap it comes
with is
great for a few days then well it gets
boring so you might feel
a little adventurous right now and you
want to try something different
in this video i will show you a few
different options including a couple of
apple options
and then comparing a couple of leather
real
and some dubious to be fair non apple
options
one of the greatest things about the
apple watch is the fact that you can
change the face and you can have a
different watch every day or you know
different times of the day even if you
want to depending on your mood depending
on where you're going
or even depending on what you're doing
but really
changing the watch faces sometimes is
not enough for example if you're doing
sports and you're wearing the lovely
milanese loop right there's this thing
here the magnet
just doesn't hold up you'll be tackling
jumping you know
running around doing whatever you're
doing and this magnet thing
will just you know just go oh i i can't
hold it and it was just literally
just slip and slowly but surely will get
very loose in your arm and just
get really really annoying i'm not even
talking about extreme sports here this
is just me
on a gentle jog really sometimes or you
know and
i have made a mistake sometimes playing
football the night before and
boy was it irritating because again
it gets very loose and quite dangerous
as well so we need more options that's
the bottom line
the problem is the apple straps can be
really expensive you know by the time
you added a few you may as well buy
another watch i mean
there's so much money that you can spend
on those especially
after you've already spent a few hundred
pounds or a few hundred dollars on the
watch right you don't want to be
spending a lot of money on more straps
at the same time you don't want your
lovely apple watch
to look cheap because some dirt cheap
strap on amazon will
you know make it look cheap so here are
a couple of options that i think
fit in the sort of the middle category
of they're not as expensive as the apple
watch
options but at the same time they're
high quality enough and therefore
great value for money first we have the
more expensive of the two the
case defy strap i'll start off by
putting them on blasto because
it took two weeks two weeks for my order
to get here in the uk
come on i know i added my initials to
the order
two letters that's where the negative
stops right the
the leather on this the strap is
fantastic
the leather is legit high quality
straight away when you wear it and you
touch it you can
you can tell that is this is the real
deal even if it's not real leather
they're doing a great job of kind of
tricking me into it it looks great
it looks fantastic when you go to work
or whenever we're allowed to you go to
parties
or pubs bars remember those days we used
to be
able to do those things i'm sure we'll
be back soon encased if i
have lots and lots of different options
customizable straps
you know lots of different colors
different straps it was really difficult
for me to just
order the one so the other option
is a little cheaper coming in at 14
pounds is the fumosa
strap and it's a it's also leather and
you know
well this is the one where i said
potentially
not real leather but it it's actually
you know from a looks perspective it
looks great
because i was waiting so long for my
case to find strap have i mentioned that
already
i mean it was no big deal really but it
took forever
to arrive to get here in the uk because
i was waiting that long
i wore this guys for for nearly two
weeks straight and and for 14 pounds
it was really comfortable i mean it
comes in in a nice package where's that
here you go
nice package it comes with with a little
tool
should you feel that you need to change
yeah
the buckle options you can get like a a
gold option or a black one and you can
you can change
this as well really good for 14 pounds
right so that's what i'm saying not too
bad the leather looks great
but when you compare the two the feel
it's
of the formosa strap when you compare
the two it does feel
a little bit more artificial i mean it
doesn't irritate my skin or cause any
issues i mean it just feels a little
less comfortable
when you compare with the case to fire
option i'm not sponsored by any of these
guys by the way
i just tried a few options and these are
the best two that i'm giving to you so
that you don't have to go through the
hassle that i went through
the other point about the apple watch is
that it is a great fashion accessory
whether people
including myself like to admit that or
not it is a fashion thing sometimes any
and i hate myself and i play football
the night before or go for a run or
something like that and i forget the
next morning to change the strap so i go
to work wearing you know
the boring office clothes with this
strap which is a sports trap this is the
apple one by the way which is
massively overpriced i'm wearing that
with my office clothes and
nothing matches up it's really horrible
and especially as i went with the uh
with the gold case nothing really
matches up with that and it's
just the sports straps doesn't really go
well maybe on a dress down friday
i might get away with it so anyway it is
great to have a couple of
leather options that i you know all
together i spent about 60 pounds in
total
so very very good
