An Apple Watch is a convenient and innovative tool to stay organized, fit and stylish. At this point, you either have an Apple Watch or know someone who does! An Apple Watch can sync your calendar, text messages and emails, plus provide you with health and fitness stats, internet access and even let you make phone calls. With so many features, it’s important you have the right Apple Watch band to suit your lifestyle. With our customized silicone Apple Watch bands, you can do just that! Why Have More Than One Apple Watch Band? Your Apple Watch comes standard with one band of two different lengths. If you like the standard band you receive — that’s great! But having multiple watch bands to wear is a good idea. Why? Think cleanliness! Depending on the type of lifestyle you live, your watch band will come in contact with sweaty skin. The more active you are, the more likely you are to have a watch band rubbing against your skin. Silicone is a great material for working out — that’s why we always recommend silicone rings to active couples! However, as with all things, the material can get dirty from rubbing against your skin frequently. While our rings — and watch bands — are made with material that minimizes odors and discoloration, harmful bacteria you can’t see with your naked eye can still build up. Plus, germs can make their home on your watch band, too. Having more than one Apple Watch band means you can wash one without having to leave your watch off. You can also give your band a breather while you continue through your day. Removing a watch, especially during activities you would normally wear it for, can give you a weird feeling. Avoid that by having extra Apple Watch bands around. Even if you wipe your watch down with a disinfectant wipe, you should still let it dry to ensure it gets as clean as possible. While your watch band dries out, you can simply wear another watch band. Make sure you brush up on how to clean watch bands before trying this at home, though. You should also consider your profession. If you work in an office setting, a silicone watch band might not look the most professional in head shots or during important client meetings. Having an extra set of watch bands made from leather or cloth can make your watch appear more professional. However, you shouldn’t wear those materials while working out! If you’re in the office during the day but go to the gym at night, on weekends or early in the morning, you should still have a silicone watch band on hand to wear. Why You Should Personalize Your Watch Band A personalized watch band is the best! Not only does it provide an interesting look, but it can also help you find your watch if you lose it. If you wear a band that’s a common color, such as white, black or even a gray Apple Watch band, then having it personalized can make it stand out from the crowd. Personalized items provide a unique look. Our personalization process is easy! Here’s how you do it: Select the watch band you want We have a variety of patterns, designs and colors to choose from.
