16 Best Apple Watch Accessories (2025): Bands, Chargers, Cases, and Screen Protectors

When you buy your Apple Watch, you can choose the group you get. Avoid the elastic bands, which are made from fluoroelastomer. While the company has committed to withdraw the PFAS from its products in 2022, we have not confirmed that Apple products are without PFAS.

I find that the textile and metallic bands are much more attractive and comfortable than the strips of fluoroelastomer, which tend to trap sweat and irritate my skin. My favorite from Apple groups that you can choose at the cash desk this year is the Nike Nylon Woven sports loop. It is soft, breathable, soaks up sweating and is infinitely adjustable if your wrists swell when you run. It is made from recycled polyester, spandex and nylon, and the wire reflects if you run at night. It is available in five colors and three sizes, so it is compatible with the 40, 44 and 46 mm watch sizes.
