Best Apple Watch bands 2022 By Karen S Freeman The world of the Apple Watch band is a wide, open space filled with a huge number of options -  if you're looking for the best Apple Watch band, then you're in no man's land. In amongst the mire there is a strap for everyone, and a strap for every occasion, from sport to dinner with the boss. It's finding them that's the tricky bit. As with any watch, something like an Apple Watch Band can be a deeply personal choice. It can also be the beginning of a collection, as you find different straps for different occasions, building up a selection as you go. Even then, you have to make sure you fill various criteria - comfort, looks, longevity. Choosing the right Apple Watch straps can often be just as hard as finding the best Apple Watch. Making it even more difficult is the size difference between different models of Apple Watch. The newest model, the Series 7, has two size options - the small 41mm, or the larger 45mm. The previous models from the Series 4 up use a smaller size, with 40mm and 44mm options. The older models use 38mm and 42mm sizes. When you're looking for an Apple Watch band, you have to make sure that the strap you're looking at is compatible with your Apple Watch, lest you find yourself with a small strap on a big watch or vice versa. Does that mean you should give up? Absolutely not - we're Apple Watch faithful and have built up our own Apple Watch band collections. Here are some of the best Apple Watch straps that we can find. Best Apple Watch bands Which Apple Watch band is best? I like having a number of Apple Watch bands since I do change my band to match my outfit. But if I had to give away my entire Apple Watch band collection (boo-hoo!) and could only have one band, it would be Apple's Milanese Loop. It's the height of Jony Ive-era Apple style, an elegant blend of form and function. Functionally, it adjusts to fit nearly every wrist with its magnetic loop closure. Since it's stainless steel, it can contact water (just be sure to dry it off after) without damage. Rather than being thick solid steel, it's lightweight mesh, making it ultra-comfortable to wear. This band feels amazing to the touch and looks incredible with just the right amount of shine to flatter either the aluminum or stainless steel Apple Watch Series 7 or any other model. Your entire wardrobe will look great with this band. Wear it to the gym, the grocery store, the office, a party, or even a formal black-tie event. The Milanese Loop is one of the best Apple Watch bands you can buy, and it will enhance your Apple Watch style no matter where you go. If the Milanese Loop isn't in the budget, get the Apple Milanese look for less. If you're looking for more inexpensive Apple Watch bands, and specifically bands under $20, we've got you covered. Pretty soon, your Apple Watch band collection will rival mine!

Apple Watch Series 8 (2022): Everything We Know We're still a few months away from the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8, but we're already hearing plenty of details about Apple's next-generation wrist-worn device. This guide aggregates everything we know about the Apple Watch Series 8 so far based on rumors. Note that it's still early in the product cycle, so these features have yet to be confirmed, and Apple's plans could change. Design Prior to the release of the Apple Watch Series 7, multiple rumors suggested Apple was working on a refreshed design with flat edges similar to the flat edges of the iPhone 13 and iPad Pro, but that didn't end up happening. Rumors now suggest that the Apple Watch Series 8 could feature a similar sort of designwith a flat display. Leaker ShrimpApplePro recently said that "there is a flat front glass display" being developed for the Apple Watch and there's a "high chance" that it's destined for the Apple Watch Series 8. If this does indeed happen, we could see an Apple Watch Series 8 with the flat-edged design that was initially rumored for the ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌. According toBloomberg's Mark Gurman, the larger Apple Watch will be the "rugged" model that's in the works. Rugged "Pro" Apple Watch Apple is working on an "extreme sports" version of the Apple Watch that will feature a larger screen and a metal casing that's better able to stand up to abuse. Aimed at athletes, hikers, and others who experience more extreme conditions when wearing their Apple Watches, the new device will be Apple's biggest to date. The display will measure in at almost two inches diagonally, which is larger than the 1.9-inch diagonal screen size of the current ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌ and the planned Apple Watch Series 8. It will have approximately 7 percent more screen area than the 45mm ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌, and a display resolution of 410 x 502 pixels. Gurman speculates that Apple may use the extra display area to provide more fitness metrics on the Apple Watch face at one time. Apple is expected to make the new Apple Watch out of titanium, which means that it could replace or become the Apple Watch Edition that currently exists. The upcoming Pro version of the Apple Watch will include the first redesign to the Apple Watch in years, but it will not feature flat edges. There is no word on what Apple will call this new watch, but it will include improved impact resistance and protection thanks to the new titanium alloy. It will include a more shatter-resistant screen and it's also going to have a larger battery to accommodate longer workout times. The higher-end rugged version of the Apple Watch could be priced at around $900, making it more expensive than the current Apple Watch models. Because of its high price tag, Apple is expecting to ship just one million units of the larger Apple Watch Series 8 model. S8 Chip The Apple Watch Series 8 will feature an S8 chip that will have the same specifications as the S7, which means no majo...

TheApple Leather Loopband may be expensive, but like everything from Apple, you get the kind of stylish and thought-through product that justifies the price. Handcrafted in Arzignano, Italy, the quilted Venezia leather design is striking and original, while still hitting that level of finish and elegance you expect from Apple. And there's even some clever tech in there: the magnetic closure makes taking this band on and off a smooth and pleasurable experience. This heady combination of aesthetic appeal and useability makes this our number one pick for Apple Watch bands overall. When two big superbrands like Nike and Apple come together, you know you're going to get something special. And that's exactly what you find in the Apple Nike Sport Band, our favourite Apple Watch band for sports and workouts. Its minimalist design looks very cool. The tuck-and-pin fastener is easy to adjust when you're on the move. And the compression-molded perforations ('holes' to you and me) makes it very breathable and lightweight. Yet at the same time, its use of fluoroelastomer (a fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber) makes this watch strap very hard-wearing and durable, however much sporty movement you put it through. It comes in a range of fun colours, and there's even a Pride edition. So whether you're running, cycling, or working out at the gym, this is our top pick. TheApple Sport Bandis a classic Apple Watch strap design. If you don't want your strap to be riddled with more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire, and like a dash of colour, then it's a great choice. You may be able to find something that looks...
