10 Best Apple Watch Straps UK 2024 | Apple, Lacoste, and More

Steel mesh straps are trendy. They're comfortable to wear, robust without being bulky, and eye-catching without being 'too much'. One of the best things about them, though, is that they're breathable, meaning they remain comfortable all day. 

The strap uses military-grade magnets to stay fastened to your wrist, making it nice and easy to put on and remove. It also comes in a lovely shade of rose gold - one of the world's most popular colours for jewellery and accessories!

This Nike Sport strap is inspired by the rainbow flag of Pride, the annual worldwide celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights and self-acceptance. A series of rainbow colours decorate its exquisite nylon weave.

It's a sports strap, so as well as looking good, it's also incredibly comfortable, and its nylon material remains cool at all times. All of this makes for a great watch strap, but throw in the fact that it celebrates a noble cause, and it's pretty much an essential purchase.

Its cutting edge technology makes the Apple Watch seem futuristic, but despite this, many people wish to maintain the appearance of a traditional watch. Allow us to introduce this metal watch strap, the best we've found to make your smartwatch look like a classic wristwatch.

It's made from a series of wide stainless steel links, and it's got a classy silver and black colour scheme that'd look at home in the window of your local jewellers. It has a high-class look without the upmarket price, and we highly recommend it.

This unique watch strap is inspired by the colours of the Pan-African flag, which represents unity among the African Diaspora and acknowledges the enduring sacrifices made by generations of black men and women.

Like all official Apple Watch straps, it's significantly more expensive than the unofficial alternatives you'll find on Amazon. Still, we think it's worth it for a strap that promotes such a positive message.

As ergonomic as many watch straps are, they're all prone to becoming uncomfortable at times, particularly in warmer weather. This strap solves that problem by incorporating a series of holes into the design to make it breathable and keep your wrist cool.

This breathability makes it perfect for exercise, particularly as it's made from flexible and robust silicone. Better still, each hole is decorated in different colours, giving this strap a unique rainbow effect. If the vivid rainbow scheme isn't for you, plenty of less colourful options are also available.

This robust stainless steel strap mimics the appearance of a traditional watch strap with one major exception: it's decorated with an iridescent colour scheme. That means its colours change as you turn your wrist, and the light catches it from different angles.

Its designer brand means it's slightly expensive, especially considering how simple the design is, but it's a sturdy strap that'll last for years. That hypnotic colour scheme is also incredibly unique and worth paying for if you ask us!

If bling is your thing and you're looking for a watch strap that'll catch the eyes of everyone you meet, this is the one for you. It's made of durable stainless steel and embossed with a series of patterns and faux diamonds.

In addition to silver, this strap is also available in black and rose gold. Its spangled look won't appeal to everyone, but let's be honest - if sparkles aren't your thing, there are plenty of non-glittery straps out there.

While fashion and elegance is the name of the game for many people, other folks want a functional strap that'll protect their Apple Watch from damage. If this is you, this robust watch strap will be perfect as it's made from hard plastic to protect it from any knocks and scrapes, plus it's even waterproof!

Simply put, it's pretty much invulnerable, making it perfect for active pursuits such as hiking or mountaineering. The only downside is that its bulk makes it somewhat unsuited for everyday wear—unless you want to show off your wild side, that is!

Chain bracelets are a trendy fashion accessory, so it makes sense that someone would convert one into a watch strap. This unique fashion piece is half chain and half traditional watch strap.

It comes in a lovely shade of gold, but it's also available in silver if you'd prefer. Unfortunately, chain bracelets don't make for the most robust watch straps, so you may wish to seek a backup for days when looking stylish isn't a high priority!

Your wrists are a great place to advertise your fashion sensibilities, and Apple Watch straps are no exception. This one is by French fashion retailer Lacoste. It features prominent Lacoste branding and a beautiful deep green colour scheme.

It's made of nice, flexible silicone and has a secure pin-buckle fastening. The blatant branding isn't for everyone, but if you're somebody that likes everyone to know who you're wearing, this is the watch strap for you.
