I have only ever worn my Apple Watch with classic Sport Bands all officially made by Apple. Having\u00a0finally deciding\u00a0to diversify my selection over the weekend, I turned to the internet in search of alternatives. Through my research, I found\u00a0a great company called Clockwork Synergy<\/strong> that offers\u00a0a huge selection of third party watchbands at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With a $5.00 off coupon on hand, I scrolled through the website\u00a0looking for what soon become the newest addition to my watchband collection. My final decision was to purchase the Red, White, and Blue 2-piece Classic Nato band.<\/strong> It was shipped the same day and arrived at Rutgers two days later. I couldn’t have asked for a better turnaround considering my order was\u00a0somewhat customized.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0Apple Watch\u00a0Band\u00a0arrived in a small black box with Clockwork Synergy’s logo on the front. The packaging was quite nice for a product\u00a0small enough to be delivered\u00a0in a simple envelope or bubble mailer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After using the Classic Nato Band for a full day, I can report back that I am satisfied with the purchase so far. The strap itself features sharp navy blue stitching, 11 adjustability holes for various wrist sizes, 2 security buckles,\u00a0and customizable colors for the metal used in the buckles and on the Apple Watch adapters. The clip and adapters are secure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bands are comfortable and lightweight. They are somewhat more scratchy than the fluoroelastomer I am used to from Apple’s\u00a0Sport Bands but that is the nature of Nylon. The material on these is also somewhat less breathable but alas, the nylon bands offer a different style and “look” so you have to take them for what they are.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am really satisfied\u00a0with\u00a0the look of the red, white, and blue classic nato band and I look\u00a0forward to wearing this band in the future. Considering Clockwork Synergy’s inventory contains a huge selection of decent\u00a0quality bands that are\u00a0half the price of Apple’s cheapest options, I will most likely order more products from them in the future.<\/p>\n For more information on Clockwork Synergy, check out their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
