    Apple Watch Straps - Where do you guys buy yours?

    I'm looking for suggestions other than from Apple. Good quality and choice for a reasonable price please.

    Thanks.

    Get the appropriate-size of one of these, then use any strap you like...

    I just use cheap Ebay velcro / rubber ones. Don't feel it deserves a decent leather strap, seems weird to me; perhaps as I see it as a fitness device.

    Edit to add, might try a 24mm version so I can use some of my custom PAM straps although think my tail lengths will look a little ridiculous....any views?

    Thread resurrection for some current ideas/options.

    Would like to buy my wife a braided style one, any suggestions before we go for the Apple option?

    Update: Conceded and bought my wife a genuine Apple Solo Loop! They are pricey, but quality.
    That said, would still be interested to know of any trusted/quality alternatives for when she (may ) inevitably seek a change...

    I’ve heard the braided solo loops loose their elasticity in a few months and end up loose. Apple also refuse to replace them. Let us know if the same happens with yours, it’s the main thing putting me off their solo loops.

    Thanks for that, good to know!

    So whilst I thought she'd by far prefer a 'Braided Solo Loop' due to comfort/appearance it turns out after trying that on as well as the 'Solo Loop' she preferred the latter. Mainly because whilst she was between two sizes on the Braided, the Solo fitted just right (in the lower size of the two on the Braided, if that makes sense). Plus she thought the Braided looked cheap/like kids play watches ....(!)

    The differences here:
