Summary: There are probably great third-party Apple Watch bands on the market, but I’ve been disappointed in the few that I’ve seen. For this video, I’ll focus on the authentic bands sold on Apple.com and give you a breakdown of which are best. You’ll have to look elsewhere if you’re looking to save money. I look at the Sport Band, Sport Loop, Nike versions, Braided Solo Loop, Solo Loop, Leather Link, Milanese Loop, and the Leather Buckle band. I'll leave timestamps for each band and end with a conclusion that tells you what to do.

@@power_moves The Nike Band. It's the best one for me for the gym and exercise. I don't have to worry about it taking awhile to dry or holding sweat like the some of the other bands.
Thank you for posting this helpful video

This is the second video I've watched that really liked the Sport Loop band. Great to see, since I got that one with my first Apple Watch this Christmas.

Got the Sport Band with my 41 Nike Series 7, but have been using the Sport Loop (bought separately) pretty consistently. I like how the Loop feels, especially when using my Watch for sleep tracking.

I agree with sleep tracking! Probably the most comfortable one for it.
Good video👍

Been looking for a metal SS mesh band that has an adjustable mechanical lock like my Skagen watch has on it. Any suggestions?
I want to choose the Solo Loop when I upgrade my Apple Watch but I'm not sure if it will work as well as my Sport Band has been. I really like the soft touch after several years. Is it very sticky? Because I want to use it at night and I don't want the band to stick between the sheets.
The sport loop is my band to go. Really love it. Have some genuine sport loop and a couple of knock offs. Although the price of the official apple band is way higher , the quality is much better and worth it imo.

Yeah, the stickiness of the velcro doesn't seem to last very long with the knockoffs.
my milanese crapped out in less than 2 years, the magnet area starts to rust and eventually the entire magnet fell out. The nylon strap so far has been good but its completely discolored from sweat, to be expected though

I recommend the braided solo loop, it looks very classy especially if you have a ss, and you can work out with it and if it stretches just throw it in the washing machine and afterwards in the dryer and it should both be clean and in its original size.
Idk why they charge 100 for the braided loop lol, I get knock offs for that one on Amazon 3 pack for 12. Nike sport loop/ band colors are great for workouts and the basic band looks good with anything.

They must have insane profit margins on the braided loop. Must be over 95% margin.

I think they consider themselves a designer brand when it comes to watch bands
Hi Cam! My Apple Watch is amazing, and I love the product red sport loop, I’ve only had it for one year, and I’ve noticed the Velcro is getting less sticky and I engage in normal every day activities. Nothing extreme, is this an issue?

That's just the way it goes with the Sport Loops. I have one that's four years old, that has lost a significant amount of stickiness, but it still gets the job done!

Thanks for replying Cam! I do have the starlight sport band and I had it for about six months, and I’ve noticed it’s not as soft As I’ve got it in the box, it’s become more rubbery. Does this normally happen?

Sport band, Does it have a coating that makes it feel soft that usually gets worn down after a period of time or rinsing in the sink?
