A wristwatch is not just a timepiece to measure time, it is also a functional piece of jewelry.
Granted, the Apple Watch is first and foremost a piece of high tech gear, where for example a Rolex watch in addition to acting as a timer, is also a piece of jewelry that thus becomes a natural part of the wardrobe.
But Apple Watch is increasingly regarded as a piece of jewelry among users and this is seen in the growing interest in unique watch straps.
When we talk about jewelry, we also talk about appearance, design, processing and materials and that goes for wristwatch bands as well.
This time, we are looking at the possibilities of replacing the included standard rubber band for the Apple Watch and we will especially focus on a single manufacturer that makes high quality watch straps for the Apple Watch.
Nomad Watch Bands for Apple Watch
Nomad not only makes watch straps, but also iPhone cases, cables, wallets, money clips and various leather goods, all in very high quality.
The quality of Nomad products is reflected in the prices that are slightly higher than other popular brands, such as YOSWAN, MeShow, Fullmosa and MARGE PLUS, but quality and price are usually related and this article focuses on high quality at reasonable prices, something that Nomad manages brilliantly.
Why Not Just Settle for a Single Watch Strap?
Not everyone wants to change the watch strap regularly, it probably depends on how you as an owner and user perceive an Apple Watch.
Is it purely a functional device or is it more than that?
For some users, wearing watch straps
This way, you have the opportunity to put together your attire to make the most sense for you.
Similarly, watch straps can be included as an element of one’s attire and this requires having different options.
Owning multiple watch straps for the Apple Watch makes good sense, as it is quite easy to replace.
How to Change the Apple Watch Band
- Press in one of the band release buttons and slide out the Apple Watch band piece.
- Press in the other band release button and slide out the other Apple Watch band piece.
- Slide in the pieces of your new Apple Watch band (you can complete the final step without pressing the release buttons).
There are many different brands of watch straps for the Apple Watch on the market, but here we have chosen to focus on a smaller selection of straps from Nomad, so let’s take a look at them.
