I have a confession to make: I love my Apple Watch, and it might be a problem.
I'm one of those people who, if my Apple Watch is dead, I almost don't want to work out. If it's not tracked, does it even count?
Gotta close those circles.
But there is one thing I've never liked about the Apple Watch. It always looks like… well… an Apple Watch.
That was until I came across Nomad Goods and their seriously good-looking Apple Watch straps.

I know the watch purists will argue that the Apple Watch can never be truly "dressed up."
Well to them I say…
Take a look at the Nomad Black Titanium Band on a black-faced Apple Watch:

What I Love About Nomad Watch Bands
- Aesthetic & Design The product, the packaging, the branding... Nomad products just feel like it belongs in the Apple ecosystem.
- Functionality You can tell Nomad thinks through everything for every product they make. Those are meetings I wish I could listen in on.
- Build Quality The build quality and material selection are head and shoulders above anything else you might compare it to.
- Selection The team at Nomad pushes out products fast and the selection available leaves you wanting everything on their website
Ok, let's get into why Nomad's watch straps are in a league of their own and which straps I think you should be taking a look at.
1. The Jack-of-All-Trades Strap: Sport Band
If I had to pick just one band for everything from workouts to everyday wear, it would be the Sport Band.
It checks all the boxes for me:
- Best for daily fitness & casual wear
- 100% Waterproof
- FKM Rubber
- Pin-and-tuck closure
- Sleep & minamlist look and feel
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the almost military-inspired earth-tone colors. But for the people who love a pop of color, Nomads got you covered.
The limited edition colors sell out fast, so if you are looking for that pop of color make sure you grab it quick.
High Performance
Nomad made the Sport Band out of FKM rubber for its excellent balance of comfort and durability.
FKM's natural flexibility allows the band to easily contour around your wrist and its resistance to water and oils allows it to quickly wipe clean after a workout.
2. The Rugged One: Rocky Point Band
For those who live life outdoors, or just like their gear to look like it's built for adventure, Nomad's Rocky Point Band is the one to beat.
It's part of Nomad's Rugged Band category, built to withstand whatever the day throws your way — sweat, mud, rain, rocks, you name it.
- Best for rugged, outdoor use
- 100% Waterproof
- FKM Rubber + Titanium hardware
- Traditional buckle closure (titanium)
- Rugged & adventure-ready look and feel
Whether you're trail running, backpacking, or just want a band that can take a beating and still look sharp, Rocky Point delivers.
3. The Power Move: Titanium Band
Think an Apple Watch can't pull off the classic metal look? Think again.
Picture your favorite James Bond actor… (just out of curiosity are you thinking of Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig? Bonus points if it's Sean Connery.)
Now instead of a Rolex or an Omega, picture him wearing an Apple Watch… I can guarantee that he's using the Titanium Band from Nomad as his strap of choice.
- Best for dressing up your Apple Watch
- Grade 5 titanium + Scratch Resistant
- Magnetic clasp with secure snap fit
- Heavier, premium feel
- High-end, professional look and feel
It's like a Nomad designer was at a bar one day and overheard someone saying "Apple Watches aren't real watches.." he stood up immediately, said "hold my beer", and got to work designing this piece of art.
Final Verdict: There's No Wrong Choice
In case it wasn't clear: I'm a massive fan of the Nomad and everything they make, but I especially love their watch straps and how they have the perfect strap for every occasion.
- Daily Driver? Go with the Sport Band.
- Built for the wild? The Rocky Point Band is for you.
- Need something sleek and timeless? You can't beat the Titanium Band.
Whichever way you go, Nomad's bands will transform your Apple Watch from standard-issue to seriously sharp.

I had been thinking about ordering this band from Nomad for a long time and my research on it indicated it was an excellent quality Titanium Band. Now that I have it my only regret is I did not order it sooner. Everyone I show it to thinks it really enhances the watch. I give a 10 for quality and craftsmanship.

The most surprising thing about this bracelet is how much the color matches the natural look of titanium. You cannot tell that this is a 3rd party accessory. I have no complaints with it.
