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 even want to bother working 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 great Apple Watch straps.

Nomad has really nailed it when it comes to designing beautiful watch straps for every occasion. Whether you look to dress up or dress down your watch they have something that works.

Everyday Use
Sports & Athletics
Dressing Up

I know the watch purists will argue that it doesn't matter what you do you can't dress up the Apple Watch.

Well to them I say…

What I Love About Nomad Watch Bands

Aesthetic & Design Nomad's products feel on par with Apple. From Product to packaging to branding… everything is spot on.
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 Apple Watch Strap

If you forced me to pick 1 strap for the rest of my life it would have to be the Sport Band. It checks all the boxes for me:

Extremely Comfortable
Easy to Put on
100% Waterproof
Tons of color options

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the almost military-inspired earth-tone colors. But for the people who love a pop of color, Nomad is currently doing limited-release drops of eye-catching neon colors.

The limited edition colors sell out fast, so if you are looking for that pop of color make sure you grab it now.

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 Clark Kent of Watch Straps

I know I said that the Sport Band is my favorite and I'm not going to go back on my word here… but the Active Band Pro is a real contender.

When you take a quick look it looks like your typical leather watch strap, but when you pause for a second you will notice that it's anything but.

The watch is made using Waterproof Heinen Leather sourced from Germany and then lined with FKM rubber on the inside (the same material used in the sport bands). It can go straight from a morning swim to a night out on the town.

Waterproof Leather

A high-tech tanning process developed in Germany infuses this leather with natural lipids, making the band waterproof without using any artificial surface coatings.

Salt water, sweat, dirt, and sand are all easily wiped off without damaging the band's waterproof nature.

3. This one is for the Apple Watch Haters

I don't really know what else to say about this watch strap… it's just beautiful.

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.

Its made using:

Grade 2 Titanium
Custom Magnetic Clasp &
Scratch Resistant Carbon Coating (hard as diamond)

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.

Nomads Apple Watch Straps are the only 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.
