The hardware is available in natural and black finishes, making it easy to coordinate with your Apple Watch and personal style. FKM rubber is offered in four colors, including a limited-edition ice blue option that glows in the dark. The glow lasts approximately 10 to 20 minutes, so it is best viewed as a fun novelty rather than a major feature.
Best Silicone Apple Watch Band
The Moft Snap Duo Apple Watch band is made from non-toxic, food-grade silicone, although its pebble-textured surface gives it the look of leather. This finish creates a more premium appearance while maintaining the softness, flexibility, and easy care of silicone. The band is waterproof and resistant to everyday dirt, making it suitable for work, workouts, swimming, and other water-based activities.
Its reversible two-tone design gives the band extra versatility. Each strap features two colors, and the two-way connectors let you flip or switch the sides to create up to four different looks. The band is simple to adjust, while the magnetic links snap together quickly for convenient everyday wear. However, it does not include a manual release mechanism, which may make it feel less secure than some traditional Apple Watch straps. Moft includes a removable buckle for added security. It can be slightly fiddly to install, but it is worth using if you want a more dependable fit.

Konsu NYC
Leather Watch Band
Available from Konsu NYC for approximately $165.
WIRED editor Adrian Thaw describes Konsu NYC’s Moher Green Apple Watch band, inspired by Ireland’s Cliffs of Moher, as one of the most attractive watch straps he has worn. The band is available in several colors, including seven additional vibrant options.
The strap uses 100% top-grain calfskin leather for its outer layers, with a proprietary fine-fiber core that Konsu NYC says is 15 times stronger than steel. Its hardware is made from 316-grade stainless steel and is laser-etched, machine-polished, and PVD-coated to help resist scratches and corrosion. Buyers can also choose silver, gold, or black finishes for the adapter and buckle, making this premium leather Apple Watch band easier to customize.
