Just wondered if anyone had found alternatives to the Apple straps at £99 each? I just had 2 delivered from a company called Ospeka, reasonable price and good quality straps, I bought a Trail Loop and Ocean band both delivered in a week and the two cost £48 the pair. in the box was a postit note saying thanks and a mini Dime bar (nice touch) also got a 20% off next order with code NEXTORDER if any one sees one they like.

Any other makes worth looking at?

The above ones look good, but I then found some highly rated (4.3/5) straps on Amazon.
Ordered a black, and orange one (twin pack) for £12.79
Part of a review….
”For comparison, I also own the Ultra Orange, Volt and Electric Blue straps from nomad. £60 each and very well made with FKM rubber. With a pair of these at less than a third I really thought they would be the overly soft stretchy silicone… well, they aren’t FKM but very close so feel every bit as well made.”
I have the black Trail Loop mine came together with the orange Ocean strap I bought at the same time. I also bought a blue/grey Trail loop on Amazon for £86.
I’m also interested in quality non-Apple straps. I have tried a no-name Alpine strap last year which was poor. The fit into the watch was very gappy. That’s what interests me most.
I’ve also been really interested in some of the higher end titanium bracelets. They are not cheap though.
Bought this from Amazon. Fits my new Ultra 2 nicely and looks quite smart.

Also got one of these in black and red leather:

Exceptional value for money. Perfect fit and solid, yet comfy.
Can you post a link to the straps please.

Yes, those linked above.
Look solid, secure perfectly, and super comfy
Thanks both, not a huge risk at £12.79 so I've ordered them 👍
I'm tempted and I don't even own an Apple watch !
The straps turned up today and I have to say for the money I'm impressed. I found the one I fitted a bit fiddly to get do up, perhaps due to my small wrists but all in all can't go wrong at that price 👍
My Nomad titanium bracelet arrived yesterday. It matches the Ultra 2 perfectly. It came with a high quality pin pusher for adjustment. I got it from Mobilefun.co.uk for £229. Not cheap but less than the other places I could find it for sale.
That looks really good.
Always seemed to think mobilefun was a scam site from a lack of fidget spinner delivered in the past.

I’ve bought from there before so went for it as it was £50 cheaper than the alternative. It is high quality titanium and fits better than any third party strap I’ve used before.
Ouch that looks so tight!!
It isn’t tight. I’ve worn it for the last two days with no comfort issues. It is maybe half a link tighter than I’d have a normal watch but that’s needed for the heart monitor. It comes with two half links so I could make it a bit looser in the summer.
