12 designer Apple watch straps to jazz up your wrist

The Apple Watch has captured everyone’s attention – and wrists – in 2022. Though it may be hard to imagine, the gadget was once considered a flop when it debuted in 2015.

Many people underestimated its value because it sat awkwardly between practicality and luxury but now, Apple is dominating the smartwatch market.

Customers started buying into the watch as it evolved with technological and physical capabilities such as access to cellular data and water resistant casing. In 2017, the Apple Watch beat a luxury Swiss giant to become the most popular watch in the world.

Now, equipped with ECG and blood oxygen monitoring, the Series 7 has proven to be one of the best options on the market. Many fans are also on the edge of their seats as rumour is abound that the Series 8 will launch later this year.

Of course, it comes as no surprise that fashion lovers are falling head over heels for the Apple Watch, especially since there is a myriad of watch straps available out in the market that easily match our ensemble.

Ahead, we’ve compiled a list of designer Apple Watch straps and bands to suit any occasion.
