Men's link and metal bands Casetify Stainless Steel Watch BandĪ stainless steel strap is perfect for everyday wear when you want your Apple Watch to look the part at work, for drinks after work, and even at the gym. The straps are made out of Horween leather and are designed to patina over time, giving you a rugged long-term look to complement its modern design. The Modern Strap has got a bold, minimalistic style that's reminiscent of a sports band in the right lighting - but it's not, with slim-to-nil stitching and a refreshing slate grey color. Nomad's leather straps are unlike others. Casetify claims this strap is scratch, water, and sweat resistant, so it’s built for all-day wear, whether you’re at work or the gym. This Grid Wave is one of our current favorites, with a blue-to-green ombre design crafted from cruelty-free vegan leather that’s made from 90% recycled materials. We love recommending Casetify straps, as they’re always such good quality and have patterns and colors you won’t find anywhere else. Enough? Oh wait, there are also a few made from cat-sharks. If that's not enough for you, and you're okay with paying a little more, the Italian band-maker also fashions straps from pythons, crocodiles, and even ostriches. They're durable, have the same thin-leather style as Apple's collections and you even have the option to engrave your initials on them. We've tested out the company's standard leather options from its Nappa collection, as well as its more vintage bands. Meridio comes about as close as any third-party watch strap brand to replicating Apple's premium feel. Price when reviewed: $89.99/£74.99 | Merido Band In terms of leather options, there are dark, light, and black leather, and you can choose stitching options too.

You’re free to color-code all of the metal elements to the color of your Apple Watch’s body, so you can accent rose gold, stainless steel, or space gray with your choice of leather. The Watch Strap Co’s leather options again undercut official prices, while still adding quality – but customization is our favorite part of the offering.

It covers all the basics well and is an excellent introduction to the smartwatch world. The Apple Watch SE is still a good alternative if you’re on a tight budget. The Always-On Retina display is perfect for glancing at while you run too without the irritation of lifting your wrist in a certain way. It will only be essential for some, but it’s undoubtedly worthwhile if you’re keen to have as big a picture of your health as possible.

However, if you want a watch that tracks your heart rate and blood oxygen levels at any time, the Apple Watch Series 8 is the better option. They’ll both track all your workouts and exercise throughout the day. The Apple Watch Series 8 and SE are both great smartwatches for iPhone owners. For $150 less, the Apple Watch SE may look more appealing if you are okay with missing out on some sensors such as the ECG app and blood oxygen monitoring.

The more significant difference is in the type of screen used with the Apple Watch Series 8 having an always-on Retina display, plus it has a slightly bigger battery. The specifications of both smartwatches include the same processor - the Apple S8 SiP with the same RAM, so performance is nearly identical between the two models. You’ll need a fast charging cable or wireless charger to get those sorts of times, but if you plan on using it while you sleep and throughout the day, it’s an essential addition. The Apple Watch Series 8 has a fast charge function which means it can go from 0 percent to 80 percent in about 45 minutes. Battery life can drop faster if you’re using it a lot, such as going for a long run, hiking, or listening to a lot of music through the watch.

Generally, you’ll need to recharge the watch overnight or when you’re in the shower to keep it running for longer than a full day. While the Apple Watch Series 8 may have slightly more sensors and features, the two smartwatches share the same battery life of up to 18 hours. WatchOS is pretty fast whichever you choose as both the Apple Watch Series 8 and SE have the latest dual-core S8 processor running the show. There’s sleep tracking too, although the battery life may be an issue to use either as a reliable 24/7 device. Both watches provide an emergency SOS feature, fall detection, and crash detection.
