?itok=fokjreZp' />[/url]</p> <p class="intro">If you want to give your Apple Watch look a refresh but you don't want to spend a lot, these third-party bands are for you!</p> <p>No matter which way you look it, Apple's Watch bands skew towards a premium price point. If you a different look but don't want to pay that premium, there are plenty of attractive and affordable options from third party manufacturers. Whether you want leather or stainless steel or silicone or something else — the perfect aftermarket Apple Watch band is out there waiting for you. </p> <p>Note: While Apple offers a Made for Apple Watch certification program for third-party bands, it hasn't ramped up yet. That means none of these bands have been certified for safety, durability, fit, finish, or anything else. If that worries you, wait until the Apple approved third-party bands hit the market. If not, shop responsibly and enjoy!</p> <h2>JETech Stainless Steel Band</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/5-aftermarket-apple-watch-bands-wont-break-bank' title="5 aftermarket Apple Watch bands that won't break the bank"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-stainless-band-1.jpg?itok=5TEaMeUe' />[/url]</p> <p>Measuring 9-inches in length, this woven silver stainless steel band slides into the Apple Watch perfectly and stays secure around the wrist. The band features a magnetic clasp that makes adjusting to your preferred fit quick and easy.</p> <div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-stainless-band-2.jpg?itok=oKXhX9TB" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-stainless-band-2.jpg?itok=oKXhX9TB);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-stainless-band-3.jpg?itok=lGjpLQuE" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-stainless-band-3.jpg?itok=lGjpLQuE);"></div></div>  <p>The entire band is lightweight and extremely durable, adding an elegant look to your Apple Watch. Similar to Apple's Milanese Loop that's priced at $149, this alternative looks identical and only costs $39.99 for the silver option — including a lifetime warranty. Other colors include rose gold and black for an extra 10 bucks.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Silicone-Replacement-Included-Lengths/dp/B00JP09AX4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1446763138&sr=8-8&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">38mm at Amazon[/url] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unique-JETech%C2%AE-Milanese-Stainless-Bracelet/dp/B011CR8RZ4/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1446760698&sr=1-2&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">42mm at Amazon[/url]</p> <h2>MoKo Silicone Sport Band</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/5-aftermarket-apple-watch-bands-wont-break-bank' title="5 aftermarket Apple Watch bands that won't break the bank"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-1.jpg?itok=IxYVS8yb' />[/url]</p> <p>Comparable to the OEM Sport Band is Moko's Silicone Band that's designed for a comfortable fit and is built to last. The band comes in 3 pieces for an optimal fit on smaller and larger wrists. The smaller band measures 4.25-inches, the larger providing an extra inch.</p> <div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-2.jpg?itok=VixK7OXP" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-2.jpg?itok=VixK7OXP);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-4.jpg?itok=R3VMHAro" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-4.jpg?itok=R3VMHAro);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-3.jpg?itok=rvOM89e9" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/moko-sport-band-3.jpg?itok=rvOM89e9);"></div></div>  <p>The third piece features a pin-and-tuck closure that makes for a clean appearance while worn. All metal parts of this band are made with hypoallergenic, nickel-free stainless steel. Instead of shelling out $49 at the Apple Store you can opt for MoKo's Silicone Sport Band, which is available in a variety of colors for a more reasonable $16.99 and comes with a lifetime warranty.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Silicone-Replacement-Included-Lengths/dp/B00JP09AX4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1446763138&sr=8-8&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">38mm at Amazon[/url] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Silicone-Replacement-Included-Lengths/dp/B00JP09G3I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1446762727&sr=8-2&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">42mm at Amazon[/url]</p> <h2>JETech Buffalo Leather Band</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/5-aftermarket-apple-watch-bands-wont-break-bank' title="5 aftermarket Apple Watch bands that won't break the bank"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-1.jpg?itok=fKfdGtdw' />[/url]</p> <p>This leather Apple Watch band is a more traditional style that features a metal clasp to secure around your wrist. The large grain leather sports a unique texture that feels and looks great snapped to the Apple Watch. The band comes in two pieces, the larger measuring 4.75-inches in length.</p> <div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-2.jpg?itok=qHEEZJEl" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-2.jpg?itok=qHEEZJEl);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-4.jpg?itok=hlBtm6Ks" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-4.jpg?itok=hlBtm6Ks);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-3.jpg?itok=ZxzYIWR2" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-buffalo-leather-band-3.jpg?itok=ZxzYIWR2);"></div></div>  <p>This particular leather band is only available in black or red, and probably isn't ideal for those with large wrists as the band isn't very long. Still, it's a professional looking option that's built for style. You can nab it for the 38mm Apple Watch for only $16.99.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/JETech%C2%AE-Buffalo-Leather-Replacement-Models/dp/B00ZZFIS36/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446386700&sr=8-1&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">38mm at Amazon[/url]</p> <h2>iVAPO Stainless Steel Metal Band</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/5-aftermarket-apple-watch-bands-wont-break-bank' title="5 aftermarket Apple Watch bands that won't break the bank"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/iVAPO-stainless-band-1.jpg?itok=WGAbFbaK' />[/url]</p> <p>An excellent substitute to Apple's $449 Link Bracelet is the iVAPO Stainless Steel Metal Band. Made of a premium stainless steel, this band feels smooth and uses a dual folding clasp in the middle for easy installation and removal. Whether you get it in space gray (as pictured) or silver, it's a great match with the Apple Watch.</p> <div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/iVAPO-stainless-band-2.jpg?itok=wUbLd2r3" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/iVAPO-stainless-band-2.jpg?itok=wUbLd2r3);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/iVAPO-stainless-band-3.jpg?itok=RjL1skd5" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/iVAPO-stainless-band-3.jpg?itok=RjL1skd5);"></div></div>  <p>Included with the band is a link removal tool that allows you to remove up to 8 links for that perfect fit. The lock adapters that slide into the Apple Watch come separated from the band, so there is a some assembly required at first, but it's an easy process with the tools at hand.

It's wrapped in a textured leather and doesn't use a metal clasp, but rather a magnetic lock strap to secure to your wrist.</p> <div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-2.jpg?itok=SkiMaqtP" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-2.jpg?itok=SkiMaqtP);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-5.jpg?itok=kpsqNQ01" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-5.jpg?itok=kpsqNQ01);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-3.jpg?itok=i6rRx9JT" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/11/JETech-leather-band-3.jpg?itok=i6rRx9JT);"></div></div>  <p>Simply feed the band through the opening on the opposite site and seat the magnet where it suits you best. The larger 7-inch band slides into the Apple Watch nicely while the shorter 2-inch side provides you with the metal-lined opening. You can pick this band up in black, blue, or red for just $39.99.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/JETech%C2%AE-Genuine-Leather-Magnet-Replacement/dp/B016GQO1DI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446386755&sr=8-1&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">38mm at Amazon[/url] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/JETech%C2%AE-Genuine-Leather-Magnet-Replacement/dp/B014T0UQNC/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1446817102&sr=1-1&tag=creativelabsim-20&t=cl_applewatch&m1k=cl_applewatch&mnsid=cl_applewatch" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">42mm at Amazon[/url]</p> <h3>What's your favorite Apple Watch band?</h3> <p>Those are 5 of our favorite aftermarket Apple Watch bands that will save you some cash over the pricier OEM options.
