Apple Watch bands, this is what you need to know!

Are you planning to purchase an Apple Watch soon or do you already have one and are you looking to upgrade your watch? I would read this blog if I were you! I'm going to tell you about the materials, sizes, whether you can exercise or work with it and how to remove and put in a new band on your Apple Watch.

The different materials

Everyone has different taste when it comes to colours and materials. That's why Apple offers a wide range of different styles of Apple Watch strap to accomodate everyone's needs. The internet is full of different colours and materials, but how many are there really? At SB Supply we sell a total of 5 different materials: Rubber, Silicone, Genuine Leather, Nylon and Stainless Steel, most of which are officially made by Apple! Are you curious about which straps we sell? Check them out here!

Rubber

These Apple Watch bands are made of fluorocarbon rubber (FKM). This makes the straps very flexible, wear-resistant and also resistant. Better yet, these are also water resistant, perfect for wearing during an intense workout. Find all Rubber straps here!

Silicone

These sports bands are made of high quality fluoroelastomer. This makes them not only strong but also surprisingly light and soft. The supple material fits nicely around the wrist and feels pleasant on the skin. The innovative pin closure ensures a secure fit. Find all Silicone Straps here!

Genuine leather

There are many different types of leather straps in SB Supply's range, all made from a different type of leather (full grain leather, Italian leather, calf leather, Venezia leather , Granada leather, Saffiano leather) but very nice to wear. The leather straps differ in closure, most have a closure with traditional metal buckle and lugs but others also have a magnetic closure. Find all Leather straps here!

Nylon

This woven sports band is made of soft, breathable & light material and has an easily adjustable Velcro closure. The inside of this two-layer woven nylon sport band contains a large number of small loops that form a soft layer while providing ventilation. The other side is provided with robust mounting strips. Discover here all Nylon straps!

Stainless Steel

SB Supply has a number of different steel belts from the Apple and Laut brand. These are straps that are made of high quality and rustproof woven mesh. Due to the beautiful finish, these straps fit like a glove on your wrist. They are also adjustable in size and therefore suitable for everyone. In addition to the Laut straps, SB Supply has a brand that they have launched themselves,  Casecentive. The Casecentive Stainless Stainless Steel Strap is made of all-stainless steel and provides a luxurious look that cannot be missed. is inferior to the Apple look. The attachment is also of high quality, so that the Watch will not fall quickly. Find all stainless steel straps here!

Different sizes 

Apple has 2 different sizes with every Apple Watch. This is about the screen size of the Apple Watch. In the somewhat earlier generations (1 to 3), this differs in 38mm and 42mm. With generations 4 to 6 and the Apple Wacht SE, this differs between 40mm and 44mm. With the Apple Watch series 7  this differs between 41mm and 45mm. So pay close attention to which Apple Watch band you order for your Apple Watch, because not every band fits every Apple Watch! 

The first group of bands will fit a 38, 40 and 41mm Apple Watch. The second group of bands will fit a 42, 44 and 45mm Apple Watch.

There are also bands with different wrist sizes. For example, the Apple Modern buckle and Classic buckle have sizes S, M and L. Other straps have wrist sizes listed in  millimeters. It is therefore useful to measure your wrist size beforehand (in mm).

Exercise and work with your Apple Watch?

Exercise with your Apple Watch is of course ideal! You have a lot of specifications on your Apple Watch that ensure that you can keep track of your workout! Apple has even set up a partnership with Nike. Nike has launched a special sports app that ensures that you can keep track of every movement you take, this app also reminds you that you will not forget your workout. Of course this is not the only thing, Apple has also taken the straps into account, they have made straps that are especially useful for sports. Check out the Apple Sport band, Apple Sport loop, Nike Sport band and Nike Sport loop. These are all specially made to wear during sports.

Can you also work with it?

Working with an Apple Watch is of course also possible. Pay attention to what profession you do because they are fragile. If you work at the computer all day, an Apple Watch is recommended. For example, if you work in the hospitality industry, it is useful to have a screen protector or case to wear around it, this will ensure that you don't unwittingly tap something and that your screen will break goes. Don't worry, the Apple Watch is waterproof so you can wash all your glasses neatly without worry! 

How do you place an Apple Watch band on your Apple Watch? 

It is quite simple to arrange! Do you have your Apple Watch in front of you? Okay good job. When you turn it around, you will see two oval buttons at the top and bottom of your Apple Watch. These are in contact with your band, if you click them in and slide the band to the left or right, the band will be released. Please note, if you take the strap off, it has to be put back in the same way. There is a small magnet that should come into contact with the oval button that you clicked in, if this is not the case, your band is not properly secured. Always check this carefully!
