The best Apple Watch straps

Apple Watch Bands for Sports and Fitness

Many people use their Apple Watch for sports — and with good reason. The smartwatch is designed for activity tracking, from monitoring your heart rate to counting steps and calories burned.

Sport Bands & Silicone Bands

These bands are made from a rubber-like silicone material that’s both flexible and durable, ensuring long-lasting wear. They feel light and soft on the wrist, so you won’t notice them while exercising. Sport bands often feature extra ventilation holes to improve airflow and reduce sweat build-up. Both silicone and sport bands are water-resistant, making them perfect for swimming as well.

Pros:

• Durable and water-resistant
• High wearing comfort
• Wide range of colours
• Great for active lifestyles

Cons:

• Not ideal for formal occasions

Nylon Bands

The woven nylon Apple Watch bands are another great choice for workouts. Soft, lightweight, and breathable, they’re so comfortable you might forget you’re wearing one. They feature a strong Velcro closure for easy adjustment and a secure fit.

Pros:

• Soft and lightweight
• Secure Velcro closure
• Breathable material

Cons:

• Less suitable for formal wear

Apple Watch Size Guide – Which Size Do I Need?

When buying an Apple Watch band, it’s important to choose the correct size. First, check which Apple Watch model you have, then select the right case size. Each model comes in two case sizes, and your band size should match the millimetre (mm) measurement of your watch case.

Model	Case Size
Apple Watch Series 1	38mm or 42mm
Apple Watch Series 2	38mm or 42mm
Apple Watch Series 3	38mm or 42mm
Apple Watch Series 4	40mm or 44mm
Apple Watch Series 5	40mm or 44mm
Apple Watch Series 6	40mm or 44mm
Apple Watch SE	40mm or 44mm
Apple Watch Series 7	41mm or 45mm

After selecting the right case size, choose the strap length that fits your wrist:

• S/M (Small/Medium): Best for smaller wrists
• M/L (Medium/Large): Best for larger wrists

Bands are adjustable via their clasp or buckle, so there’s some overlap in fit.

Case Size + Strap	Wrist Size
38mm, 40mm & 41mm	13–19 cm
42mm, 44mm & 45mm	14–21 cm
