Having an Apple Watch is awesome. It is waterproof, dust resistant and fashionable, but most of all, it emulates the essence of a phone in a miniature display. Apple’s innovative collaborations with Hermès and Nike have only added to the vast collection of straps offered, from silicone to leather and even stainless steel. However, through endless modifications and additions, there is an unwavering issue — they just don’t look good.
Let’s take the sport bands for example. While the fluoroelastomer is compatible with sweat-inducing exercises, the dull colour scheme coupled with the pin-and-tuck closures look cheap and plain. The alpine loops, while designed for outdoor adventures, mimic backpack straps and lack originality. Their collection with Nike decidedly disagrees with trypophobia plagued folks while the sport loop commercialises the watch with its ‘Just Do It’ logo, shattering the sleek, minimalistic and elegant image Apple has cultivated for decades.
Although the Hermès Leather stimulated the redemption arc for straps, at a price point starting from £339.00 and hiking to £849.00, it is unaffordable to most. Very few would buy an Apple Watch strap at the price of a new iPhone or iPad. This is where Mayfair Straps enters. This post is not sponsored, rather Mayfair Straps is a small business I stumbled upon which provides sophistication and chicness to my Apple Watch while maintaining affordability.
Mayfair Straps has priced its leather straps at £59.99 and crocodile leather straps at £67.99, almost half the price of Apple’s cheapest leather strap. What’s more, they are currently offering a 50% discount on the entire collection. What Apple lacks, Mayfair Straps provides — an extensive and contemporary colour choice. Although my personal favourites are the leather pink and crocodile leather blue, there are both conservative and eccentric colours to choose from. Nowhere else will you find a hot pink strap. The design of Mayfair Straps is tailored to look timeless and the reasonable price point gives you the option to buy multiple straps so you can adapt your watch to your outfits.
My experience shopping at Mayfair Straps has been phenomenal. As a small business, the response to queries was prompt, frequent emails were sent throughout the delivery process and the Apple Watch arrived in premium packaging. They also provide free shipping and returns. I would highly recommend browsing the website and buying an Apple Watch strap! For £30.00, these straps are an excellent way to upgrade your Apple Watch at the best price on the market.
