There’s really no competition to the Apple Watch when it comes to a gadget dictating wardrobe choices. Splurging on the world’s most popular smartwatch is one part of the deal. And then comes choosing a band, which has plenty of options that often get added to the Apple Store Online. The ones we are admiring at the moment are Baltic Blue Leather Link, Charcoal Braided Solo Loop, Inverness Green Braided Solo Loop and Northern Blue Solo Loop.

Before buying, consider the case size of the Apple Watch and then look into the different colours and forms. There are a number of choices — stainless steel, leather, silicone rubber and braided.

The Solo Loop bands from Apple have been a runaway hit. It’s a single piece of stretchable liquid silicone rubber that slips on and off the wrist. Even after using for months, it doesn’t become loose or cracks.

Since you will buy it online, you can simply print Apple’s “sizer” and wrap it around your wrist to get the perfect measurement. Solo Loop bands also come braided and it’s something you will see your favourite celebrities sport in their Instagram posts. The Braided Solo Loop is made from recycled materials and the yarn filaments are woven together with thin silicone threads to create a braided band. It’s not only soft but also sweat- and water-resistant.

The bands are spread across a wide price range and match the square smartwatch perfectly. Not just bands, Apple has a zillion watch faces to make the Watch shine and they complement the bands. Well, it seems that it’s hip to be square.
