(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best smartwatch accessories

So before this, I decided to hop into the "fitness/smart" watch scene... But since I didn't want to spend a ton, I waited until I could get a Versa for less than Retail, and actually ended up getting it for $130 Iirc at Kohl's maybe 10 Days after they first got them in.

The Versa was a GREAT intro into this world (in my opinion at least), but I knew I wanted to upgrade to something better. I'd been checking out stuff from Garmin for a while (after someone I know was talking about how much they love their new Fenix (5 Sapphire? I think. Something similar)), but the prices for the nicer options just weren't going to work out with all of the current and future medical co-pays and other bills that'll be coming in.

Ah, and I'm an Android user... So no Apple Watch... 🤷‍♂️

ANYWAYS - I saw an Ad for the Active2, and after a lot of research I was all in. Soon after I did pre-order for the 40mm (Non-LTE) Active2, plus that 10,000mAh Wireless Power Bank that came free with all pre-orders.

I fucking LOVE this thing.
I got a Rose Gold Magnetic Stainless Band for the Versa, and Gifted it to my Mother who I've been meeting up with to exercise 1-2x a week... And she loves it. She just wanted something easy, straight forward etc etc.

I bought a bunch of Bands on Amazon, knowing I'd return most... And chose one Leather Band (pictured) and one Black Magnetic Stainless Band that I really like. The rest will be taken to Kohl's next week.

I do have TWO QUESTIONS I'm hoping someone can help me out with...

1. One major reason I got this watch was to Monitor my HR... I have AFIB and really liked the idea of setting limits. I have them set, but all that's happened is that the heart on my watch-face turns red. No Vibration at all. I feel like I'm missing something right in front of my face... But can't find it. Is there even an option TO do this? They sure made it sound like it 🤷‍♂️
   
   
2. Does anybody have a suggestion for a BLACK ANALOG Watch Face that's Minimalistic, but actually shows my live HR reading. Shit, maybe even one you can change the color of the hands on or whatever...? I'm more than happy to pay for it if it's worth it.
   
   Thank you in advance for anybody who has recommendations! I really do appreciate any and all advice!
   
   SO happy to be part of this Samsung Watch family 👌😎
   
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Oh, almost forgot... For anybody that wants to know which bands I decided on...
   
   [LEATHER] - V-MORO (Black) Leather Band:
   https://www.amazon.com/V-MORO-Leather-Compatible-Stainless-Samsung/dp/B07MZJ56QS
   
   [MAGNETIC SS] - KOREDA (Black) SS Mesh Band:
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SDFLS6V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_p8sODbPSY0FQB
   
   Absolutely recommended both of them for the price...!
   I recommend the Koreda Band all day long at any price! The V-MORO Band's clasp does feel a bit cheap, but it looks quite nice on wrist.

I bought the Spigen Liquid Air, which protects the whole watch body. I really like it because the watch body is protected without appearing bulky. I didn't buy a screen protector, but the IQ Shield is very popular. Note: The Spigen doesn't have edges raised high enough. So if on a rare occasion, I were to lie my watch face down, then my screen would definitely touch the surface.

Download the Galaxy Wearable app as well as the Watch Active2 Plugin from the Play Store. You'll need these, at the very least, when pairing your phone and your smartwatch. When setting up your watch, go through each and every possible setting through both, the app and the watch itself. On the app, I haven't found a way to enable the PIN security, but I was able to through the phone with some exploration. I adjusted the settings to help preserve battery life, like turning off the Always-On Display (AOD), being picky about which phone apps I wanted to receive notifications on my watch, adjusting the heart rate monitor to only check manually, adjusting brightness, etc. Flossy Carter on YouTube posted a nice review and setup process of the watch.

As ThatFoxyThing said, the watch's keyboard is a T9. I like it because it felt nostalgic, but I can understand why others wouldn't. I don't know if there's a keyboard watch app to download as a remedy if you don't like the T9 setup.

I've experienced a few connection issues with Spotify before, but it has since been resolved so far. The app is great now for me.

I bought my 46mm LTE about 2 months ago ($380 brand new from Amazon). Prior to getting it, I purchased the Active 2 44mm to try it out since it was the newer watch. It's a very nice watch, and not to knock it, but I really didn't like the way it looked. It's a bit on the feminine side and just looks odd. I returned it the next day solely based off its design.

I have since purchased a Ringke bezel for my 46mm...it looked awesome to begin with, but the silver bezel just puts it over the top.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGVRPP3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Jc01DbQDW6JXV

I run 5 miles a day with it, and workout at the gym. It records (almost) everything perfectly. Plus, even with LTE on I get outstanding battery life. So not only is it a great looking watch, it is equally a great fitness tracker.

Honestly, this little piece of tech is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

Got this leather band from Amazon for around $10. Looks great on my Apple Watch, also Space Grey Aluminum.

Been wearing it almost every day for a little over 2 weeks. Fits nice and snug into the watch -- I have no anxiety in the band failing and the watch falling off.

Leather seemed and smelled genuine, and has broken in very well. No tears or malformations in the band. Excellent quality.

I also just got this watch, my first Apple Watch, about a month ago. If you're in the market for Apple Watch accessories, do pick up the Skinomi screen protector pack. This specific brand and screen protector is widely praised throughout this subreddit for its value, quality, ease of installation, and next-to-invisible look. I was skeptical at first because I did not want to ruin the look of my beautiful watch with its classy leather band, but trust me when I say this: you cannot tell there is a screen protector on with that product. If installed correctly, which is easy and foolproof due to its wet install procedure, the protector will shape and smooth itself out and become practically invisible. Feels fine on the finger too. And $7 for a 6-pack? Tremendous value. I don't foresee myself needing to change out the protector for a long time. The Apple Watch is a pricey fashion accessory and utility that is strapped to your wrist and is prone to bump into stuff, even with utmost care. Protect its integrity and resale value with a cheap screen protector.

I would definitely use a screen protector. Not everyone likes cases, but I do and here's my favorites. I think the S3 is the same size as the S2, so they should fit the S3 I hope.

Skinomi screen protector from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H7WV1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bScCzb9QMKFDX

Great case, but it's bulky. It has a raised edge that MIGHT protect the screen a little, but I don't trust it so I still use a screen protector.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0QYUR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_USlEzbKN82J81

Had this one for a few months and they're great. They snap on easily and are tight and secure. Made of hard plastic type material.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014HA8RG2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501106014&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=fintie+apple+watch+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51S3Iq%2BGZIL&ref=plSrch

I wanted one that was gray to match my space gray watch better. They are really form fitting and thin and barely stick out from the watch at all. Made of rubbery TPU material.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MTUTMMG/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1501106149&sr=8-8&refinements=p_89%3AMonoy%C2%AE&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Monoy&dpPl=1&dpID=511seG1-pPL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

I grabbed one for 20 bucks off Amazon. We'll see what happens when it gets here, but from what I could research it is among the best of the near-clones.

Link I think we can safely assume the scratch resistance won't be anywhere near the same league, but I'll be happy with "somewhat decent" for the price.

Edit: I didn't get this one, but it looks like it might be as good or better from a "lookalike" perspective. I just liked the black of the other band.

Edit 2: Lol downvotes for helping people out. Never change r/Apple. XD

So I know this won't be for everyone but browsing amazon I came across this and figured it'd work great for me. I love the look of leather bands but wearing them gives me some skin irritation problems. The material is super soft and flexible. Fits great and really comfortable. Thought I'd share for anyone else interested.

I have a similar one to your 2nd example. The Spigen Tough Armor. It includes a built-in screen protector. It's working well so far.

I also considered your first example, but was concerned that it might scratch the watch after sliding it on/off repeatedly.

I don't really like the look of screen protectors as I can usually see the edges and, IMO, they take away from the look of the device and screen quality. I also don't want to have my watch in a case full time. However, I wanted something to protect my watch when working in the yard, on the car, etc. This case was the best I could find to protect both the screen and the watch. It's fairly easy to put on/take off. It looks good enough that I could leave it on for a quick trip in to town if I didn't want to bother taking it off right away.

I could not find many options that included the built in screen protection. I wish I could find something comparable that would not require me to remove the band to install/uninstall .
I would also like to have one that was easy to install/uninstall and covered the digital crown to keep out dust when mowing, etc.

That's my experience, as well. Its integration is much cleaner than the Pebble's integration, and since I'm getting ~34 hours out of the battery on the Apple Watch, it's good enough.

I'm currently using this case with it; I've ordered this waterpoof case and will switch to it when it arrives. One of my few gripes about the Apple Watch is the fact that it isn't waterproof; I've forgotten that it was on my wrist and showered with it a couple of times, and then obsessively toweled it off, praying that I didn't get water inside it (so far, it's OK).

The notification integration is really slick. When I'm wearing the watch, it's smart enough to automagically limit most notifications (except an incoming call) to the watch in vibrate mode, and to not make any audible alerts on the phone, even though the ringer switch is enabled. One can alter this, if one likes, but it suits me perfectly.

The volume on the 'Dick Tracy mode' phone audio speaker should be louder, IMHO. And I'm hoping for longer battery life, inherent waterproofing, and wireless charging (so I can leave it on my wrist when I'm sleeping; silent vibrating alarms/alerts are very nice, so that I don't wake my girlfriend up when I get a late-night call, or when I must wake up early) in the next version.

Quick SMS and IM replies from my wrist are very helpful, when I'm out and about. I haven't yet used the Siri dictation, but have defined a number of canned replies, and so far, those have sufficed.

Overall, it's quite useful even as a first-gen Apple product, and I'm glad I have it.

I haven't tried this one in particular but I just bought a similar style band (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D76KDSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I've been pleasantly surprised. It has a silicon interior to help keep sweat away from the leather and it's pretty comfortable - not overly bulky and rigid like another one I tried. I've only been wearing it for a couple of weeks but it still looks great.

I bought a Truffol one on Amazon for like $29, they make a big deal out of having solid metal links rather than stamped & folded ones... That might just make it needlessly heavy but hey, I liked the simpler parallel link aesthetic of it (been wanting one like this ever since that first Moto 360 teaser years ago).

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GRIHGBY/

No pics cause neither the band nor my SteelConnect adapters have arrived, but someone actually modified that band and posted pics of it on the ZW3 sans adapter a few months ago (how I found it), used to be priced higher too.

There's definitely cheaper bands, I actually bought one with stamped links for my 360 with the intention of modifying it but never got around to it, didn't look too cheap but it felt like it on close inspection, YMMV. Truth be told, the quality of the PVD plating on black ones should probably be the biggest concern.

SteelConnect's bands are expensive because of the reversible thing/gimmick... They might be decent, I dunno, with QR pins it's pretty easy to swap bands out to change up your look so I didn't think that was worth the expense either.

For an active setting I like MD 153 or SportMinimalLite, and for a more professional look I like AS_Watch_Mod or X2 Viron.

Barton makes the absolute best silicone strap, it has a curve on each strap that makes it more comfortable for a larger wrist.
https://www.amazon.com/Barton-Elite-Silicone-Watch-Bands/dp/B07B5M91V7/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=barton+galaxy+watch+46mm+bands&qid=1567896574&s=gateway&sprefix=Barton+Galaxy+watch&sr=8-5

I went this route for a more professional look. Also a bezel cover looks great in any setting. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HQ8NSRX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGVRPP3?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I have a Huawei Watch 2 Sport and Classic, they're both great. Awesome battery life (I don't think I've ended a day with less than 50%) and they have all of the extras you might want. If you get the Classic, I highly recommend this band, it looks great and is very comfortable (no pulled hairs.)

My Smiling brand bumper + screen protector has served me very well in the gritty, sand-blast environment of riding a recumbent trike (the watch is 10-12” above the pavement and 2-3” from the right front tire). It lasts 3-6 months before needing replacement but protects my watch very well. It is, however, a “soft” case and might not withstand your work environment. It can be seen here:
https://amazon.com/Smiling-Apple-Watch-Screen-Protector/dp/B07JZ69XJ9/
Good luck in finding something that will work for you.

Current favorites are:

• Nomad Modern Strap (I already own it in brown and the slate gray version just shipped today)
  
• If you want a cheaper leather band (not as wide as those above), you can search for "Mifa" on Amazon. They come in black , brown, and gray and are good for the money. Just got one in black silicone with a layer of brown leather on top that looks nice with the black outlining the brown.
  
• Juuk Ligero is my go-to metal band (Cosmic Gray matches the watch almost perfectly)
  
• Carterjett's NATO bands (you'll find these on Amazon, and they come in various colors in nylon as well as black and brown leather)
  
• Apple's sport bands (I've got three: black, gray, and white)
  
• A few knockoff sport bands (silicone) in colors that I like but only work out in, so I'm not willing to spend the cash for the genuine sport bands. You can get these on Amazon or AliExpress.
  
  I own a lot of bands. It's become an addiction. Please send help.

Unsure if it was suggested but take the strap off and put it down your bra. Probably the outside of the cup, would work best. Try it around where you live doing little tasks to see if it stays in place, and tracks steps. I guess putting it in the middle would make it more likely to move and/or fall out.

A man giving a woman advice on the best place to put an Apple Watch in her bra. This is the weirdest thing.

I'm interested in the same, and have been looking at many options for the past weeks. I finally just ordered the Luvvitt adapters that are pretty well recommended (http://amzn.com/B015GMZG82), and a Hadley-Roma 24mm leather strap that I like the looks of and has good feedback: http://amzn.com/B002EEP5WS.

The clip gives you a host of options. https://www.amazon.com/Clipi-Spring-Accessory-Apple-Watch/dp/B077ZGWDQ7

You could clip it to a bra strap, you could clip to the inside or outside of the waist band of your skirt or pants. You could clip it inside your shirt, attache to the back side of a belt or attach to an undergarment, like tights. If you’re willing to do a little sewing you could attach a small pouch, just big enough for the watch without the band, that can be sewn just about anywhere inside a garment. Velcro attachment points would facilitate moving the pouch to different garments. Just a few ideas, after brain storming with friends. Hope you get it sorted to your benefit.

Backstory: I have been a watch guy but had no interest in a smartwatch, and actually disliked the idea of them up until fairly recently. Unfortunately, I broke my daily wear (A Nite Marquess) fairly badly, and was crushed by the wait time to get it fixed. So, I decided to give a smartwatch a try for a few months and given I'm a big Samsung guy, the Active 2 was a no brianer to match my S10. I immediately liked it and after picking up a leather band and the silver ring bezel for some accent flair, I am absolutely in love with it. I don't think I could go back to my "dumb" watches for daily use anymore.

Bonus shot with a 3D printed case meant to help charging (NOT my design, credit to u/often_wears_pants):

http://imgur.com/gallery/nTXH2xH

These are the ones I use and they're amazingly good. Can barely tell there's something there. Requires a wet install and a few hours to settle, but it's totally worth it.

PS: Can confirm the Series 1 screen scratch pretty easily. Have a Series 2 with one of these installed since day one, so wouldn't know if there's a difference.

I have two. The Luvvitt adapter that everyone here loves, and this Wearlizer adapter. I definitely prefer the Wearlizer, but I wish it were a better match for the SGS.

If you have a Pebble Time or Time Steel, then I recommend the Truffol steel band: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111I89LQ/

I bought the "gunmetal gray" version for my black Pebble Time Steel. It looks great, and it's very comfortable.

I have the Supcase and it is similar. It is my daily wearer and the favorite of 5 inexpensive bands I bought along with the watch when I got it in January. It is nice, comfortable and reminds me of all my G-Shocks. Highly recommended.

https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Protective-Compatible-mm-First-Generation/dp/B013H1EP3G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487769109&sr=8-1&keywords=supcase+apple+watch+42mm

This is my favorite case because it's not too big but it offers pretty good protection.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTL6BRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_H1ojzbT7YZWDN

I have this for daily carry and totally love it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4KTZPP/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

And this higher capacity pod for longer trips and as a backup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Inac54zS8g

​

both are fantastic

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EY9TY5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_Br3Cz62Lz1x3H

I found this one and although I haven’t had it but a few days, it’s already my favorite band. And for the price, you can’t go wrong. Stitching is nice, and it seems like it will wear with time really well.

I bought this off amazon. It hooks nicely to my keychain and can charge my watch 1 and a half to 2 times on a full charge. It comes with its own charging cable that doubles as a lanyard if you like. I’m very happy with it

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4KTZPP?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Ooh really that’s funny. I do the same. I don’t mix concrete much but I wouldn’t want it in my watch. If I were you I’d maybe get a small case. I don’t like them but it helps.

My case got all jacked up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZ69XJ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i2rVCbNA3BF5F

I have this one, it's definitely a good price and is decent quality....but it scuffs a little where you rest your hand down on a hard surface. For the price you can't go wrong, though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01933657G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The helpful suggestion above looks very special ed. I guess its one of those "eye of the beholder" things. Thanks for your feedback.

I have seen enough Apple watches in subpar condition. Just because its an Apple product, doesnt mean its indestructible.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZ69XJ9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Had a similar scratch on mine. I put a skin screen protector on it. Definitely made it less noticeable. The skin is nearly invisible if applied properly, and is actually pretty easy to put on.

Edit: link for the skin I used.

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Skinomi-TechSkin-Coverage-Anti-Bubble/dp/B01H7WV1QU

Thank you! Yes it is, I got this one from Amazon


They come in a whole set, but I just use the black one. I'm constantly bumping my hands into things and wanted to protect my watch. It's done a great job, I have broken one and reordered to get another black one.

I have this on my Apple watch and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not your typical screen protector but it does the job and I don't have to worry about it cracking as easily or coming off.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTL6BRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_3yFQtY7onvlmp

this looks like the band from V-MORO Leather Strap Compatible with Galaxy Watch Active 40mm Band/Galaxy Watch 42mm Bands Women Men with Black Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 40mm R500/Galaxy Watch 42mm R810 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZJ56QS

i have the black one myself. good.

It's one I designed with Watchmaker, Tasker, SharpTools (SmartThings integration with Tasker), and a few other Tasker Addons. It also pulls information via the DarkSky dev API (weather) and Google API (location) via Tasker, takes it all in, turns them into Watchmaker variables, sends them to Watchmaker and then the watch.

It is definitely not a upload and go watchface.

Here is the band: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074MDSGXL I love NATO bands, even though this one is only "Nato Style". I have thought about getting a real NATO band, and cutting a hole in it but I doubt it will allow the HR sensor to function.

I bought these 2 as well:

I like this one better, due to color: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QZBFGFT

This one is just a tiny bit lighter than the first one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D76KDSM

What kind of metal straps do you generally like? I recently posted about a milanese mesh metal band I've been wearing with my P2, which was pretty cheap, and wears well. I also generally like Truffol's 2-tone bands (see their Amazon page too). I have a Truffol band in silver (bought in advance for the PT2 that never was), but I don't use it much since it doesn't match the P2 well.

I've seen the LUVVITT ones, but many reviews note these as slightly darker than AWS. Know of any options that are a (near-) perfect match?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013H1EP3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_XHMMybSK2T7S7

Its this SupCase band. Super durable and relatively cheap. I work outdoors a lot and it's kept my watch looking like new for about a year now.

I got it for $18.99 from Amazon. It comes with the tool as well. Great deal.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EY9TY5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YRgXzbBSN9CP9

Yes, that's the one I have. Like it so much that I kept in on instead of replacing it with my Ringke Bezel.

Edit: I got mine from Amazon. Just checked they still have them.

LEO here. I bought a series 1 about a month ago and haven't had any issues. I sometimes bang my watch going into people's houses or any tight spots and it's still holding strong. A bunch of the guys in my command have Apple watches as well. Some without any protection and I haven't heard any complaints. I decided to use a Spigen case on mine. I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UVSOWBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3iCSyb5ATT7K0

Just be careful with the bands that have metal buckles or clips that connect to the Apple Watch, some are known to break, especially the cheaper ones. I honestly never use the brown leather band because I’m paranoid. Just make sure you read the reviews.

Looks pretty much the same as the one you linked. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTL6BRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B4XgAb4SA9SJD

These are not perfect. They get dirty and scratched easily. And one of my two makes the screen a little less responsive in one corner. But they are easy to remove, affordable, and have a minimal impact on the size/shape of the watch.

Smiling Apple Watch 4 Clear Case... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZ69XJ9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use this. It’s the smallest one I can find. I go to the gym a lot and was always hitting my watch on weights, this works.

I'm a Deputy and own a AW Series 1. I won't wear it to work with the bands it came with. I purchased

It's an awesome case for it. Have wrestled with many people and haven't had a problem. Have had it for about a year.

SUPCASE Cheap and protective, I love it!

Absolutely love the band.

My wife uses the rose gold and it is a PERFECT match. The red one is a bit light, not Product Red red, if you know what I mean.

I have this one on my silver Hwatch 1 and it's been great!

I did that too, although like you the AW has displace it. Did you use Nato bands? I'm thinking of trying something like this to use the old bands with the AW https://www.amazon.com/LUVVITT-Stainless-Adapter-Connector-Buckle/dp/B015GMZG82/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B015GMZG82&pd_rd_r=FTGBC226NXCCZG2AMZXH&pd_rd_w=jN0SP&pd_rd_wg=VxSMo&psc=1&refRID=FTGBC226NXCCZG2AMZXH&dpID=41pT%252BNsnjBL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

Hey bro! I'm also a firefighter, and I use the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. It basically turns the Apple Watch into a G-Shock. I absolutely love it! It's been to hell and back with me, no holds barred, and my Series 2 is still flawless. No concern at all when I use it.
The product page says "compatible with 2015 model Apple Watch", but I spoke to the manufacturer before I tried putting it on my Series 2, and their engineers had just spoken with Apple about the dimensions. It's good to go. I won't use any other case for my watch.

I have the older version of this case. It will withstand whatever you throw at. The old model came with two screen protectors and that's what I put on it. The case is a little bulky but it looks good and it matches the black sports band.

If you have the 42mm watch, this is a good one. It has a built in screen protector. The Spigen website says it's backordered, but it seems to be in stock on Amazon + it's cheaper there too.

You could always look at getting a used one from whatever your Craigslist equivalent is.

Otherwise, there are keychain docks like this that might be harder to lose if attached to something important like keys.

You could also check out a portable power bank to charge your phone and watch, but you'd be looking at a bigger price tag.

I bought a refurbished hwatch from newegg a little over a month ago, but it came with the leather strap which I'm not a huge fan of. I ordered this link band from Amazon and it's been wonderful. I saw a few reviews saying it pulls your arm hair which concerned me initially, but I have fairly hairy arms and it hasn't been a problem at all in the month I've worn it. Of course YMMV but I have absolutely no complaints.

I also bought one of that same seller's silicone bands for use at the gym. Both bands get my seal of approval FWIW.

YES

the KADES Solid Stainless Steel iWatch Band Link Bracelet - does NOT slide in easily to the case. Extremely difficult to remove .

I have this and always have it in my work bag just in case. It holds enough for a charge or two and then just top it off with another cable.

Someone posted this on here not long ago, and I grabbed it. It hold a bunch, and looks nice.

It's a knockoff version of the ridiculously expensive link bracelet Apple sells.

I’ve been using this same Spigen case for three years now. I bought it when I got my Series 1 Watch and it has carried over to my Series 3. I also bought one for my girlfriend when she got hers. No issues whatsoever, and it’s protected my watches from all the bumps and other unfortunate contact they’ve had to deal with. A proverbial knock on wood will follow this, but I’ve never had a screen scratch, crack or any case damage whatsoever.
