The best (and affordable) Apple Watch accessories available on Amazon
Having an Apple Watch is the height of convenience nowadays. With our debit cards, texts, emails, calls, and music all available on our wrist, we might as well be living in Get Smart.
However, getting your hands on an Apple Watch is only half the fun it seems, with so many bits and bobs needed to keep your new device functional. The versatile design of the watch means it can slip easily in and out of various bands, and its fine glass screen means you should also be keeping it protected as best you can.
Below we've rounded up all the accessories you might need to go with your new Apple Watch. And, if you're still on the fence, we've picked out two watches you might want to buy for yourself.
NOTE: Prices are accurate at time of publishing.
Apple Watch Series 8
The latest Apple Watch model is available now, serving as an upgrade on all prior models. While it does all the same things as those that came before it, Apple has introduced a few new features that set it apart. It has temperature sensing to give greater insight into women's health, crash detection to aid with getting help in an emergency, sleep stages to better understand your sleep cycles, and new ways to train using the enhanced Workout app. If you love your Apple Watch and all the ways it's changed your life, this is the upgrade for you.
Apple Watch Series 7
Able to help you with calls, texts, and emails while you're on the go, the Apple Watch 7 is a great option for those searching for a Smart Watch. It can stream music as well, keeping you both entertained and connected as you head out of the house to exercise or run errands. Now on sale for an 11 per cent discount, you can grab it for $329.
Chargers
iXTRA Apple Watch Charger Stand
While this isn't a charger itself, the stand will help keep your bedside table or desk neat and tidy by tucking the cord away, leaving you to drape your watch on its arm to charge. With a cutout hole for the charging cable that will come with your watch, you can fit the charger to the stand with ease, making it a tidy spot for charging.
Satechi 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand
If you're someone who loves Apple products, a charging stand like this Satechi one will be ideal for you. Featuring a sleek design, and compatibility for iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, you'll be able to keep everything powered in one convenient spot.
3 in 1 Wireless Charger
If you're overrun with cords, this wireless charger might be the answer. Using a magnetic charging mechanism, this foldable pad can charge multiple devices. Compatible with iPhones 10 and up, Galaxy S7 and up, as well as AirPods and the Apple Watch. Best of all, it can charge your phone and watch through its case, saving you from dropping your bare phone while trying to charge it.
Portable 2 in 1 Wireless Smart Watch Charger
If you often find your watch running out of battery while you're out and about, a portable charger might be the answer. While this one isn't a wireless power bank, it can connect to both USB type A and type C ports for convenient charging. In this day and age, most places will have a matching outlet, or if you have a laptop with you, you'll easily have somewhere to plug your watch in.
Portable Wireless Charger for Apple Watch
This one is ideal while you're on the go. If the powerbank is fully charged, you can easily connect your watch via its magnetised charging mechanism, and use the four little lights as indicators of your battery level. Charging your watch fully will take two or three hours, but you can recharge the power bank too with an included cable.
Watch Bands
Calf Leather Apple Watch Band
If you want to elevate the look of your watch, you can easily swap out a basic band for something a little nicer. This calf leather band from Fullmosa comes predominantly in white, with rose gold accents for something extra. If you like the style, but find that white might get dirty, you can also grab it in various pinks, blacks, reds, and even turquoise blue.
Metal Stainless Steel Bands for Apple Watch
Functional and sporty, this stainless steel band will help express your personality. While this pink rose colour is definitely our favourite, it also comes in black, copper, and silver tones.
MiranaTech Trail Loop Band Compatible for Apple Watch
While there's always the option for a fashionable band, many people buy Apple Watches for their fitness tracking abilities. This Trail Loop Band is ideal for the dedicated adventurer, someone who likes to run long distances or spend their weekends hiking. With a silky silicone moulding, it's a comfortable and breathable wear.
Geageaus Sport Bands Compatible with Apple Watch Band
Designed for sport-lovers who want to use their Apple Watch for keeping active, this breathable silicone watch band is a great and stable wear. Its punctured design removes some of its weight, leaving it feeling light on the wrist. They also create better ventilation, so you're less likely to feel your watch as you work up a sweat. It also comes in plenty of other colours: try white, orange, green, blue, and yellow.
LODKA Silicone Watch Band for Apple Watch
With the same silicone design, this watch band is also lightweight for the sporty watch-wearers among us. While it lacks the hole-y design, it's still breathable, making it ideal for workouts, walks, and running. We love this light blue colour as well – it makes the watch both fashionable and functional.
Cases and screen protectors
4 Pack Compatible for Apple Watch Case
It's not just your phone that needs protecting. These four cases come in either 40mm or 44mm, so you can match them best to the watch model you own. The various colours allow you to mix and match your watch look as well, and vary it as often as you like.
Misxi 2 Pack Hard PC Case with Tempered Glass
We all know how important it is to have a glass screen protector on our Apple devices, and this one from Misxi promises to keep your watch protected. With tempered glass to cover the watch face, and a waterproof design to stop any leaking into your watch, you can rest assured knowing your expensive device will be safe with this on top of it.
T Tersely Case and Tempered Glass Screen Protector
This case and screen protector combo are suitable for 49mm faces, with a lightweight but heavy-duty glass exterior designed to protect. It also comes as a two pack, so you can easily replace any breaks in moments.
T Tersely Case Compatible with Apple Watch Series 8
If you're lucky enough to have the latest model, this protective case comes highly recommended. Designed to suit Series 7 and 8, it has a tempered glass screen protector and a cover replacement attached. Designed with precise cutting, it will give you full access to the watch while also protecting it from damage. You can also grab yours in a range of other colours: black, blue, green, silver, and red.
Bonus accessories
Apple AirPods (3rd Generation)
One of the most beloved Apple products, these tiny headphones are designed to sit in your ear and connect to both your phone and watch. You'll barely even know they're there. They're very easy to transport and keep on your person, given just how small they are.
Apple AirPods Max
One of Apple's newer products, they've expanded their AirPods into a headphone set, which is the preference of many over the small earbuds. Compatible with all Apple devices – Watches, iPhones and iPads – they also have active noise cancellation, so you can block everything out. Currently, these are 11 per cent off, and available for $798.50.
