Is this the last Apple watch strap you'll ever buy? Let's give it a look
0:11
Whether you only buy from Apple or whether you buy from third parties
0:15
there are a lot of bands from which to choose for your Apple watch
0:20
I actually haven't had an Apple band on this for a while
0:23
but that's okay because Urban Armored Gear sent me this really cool nylon weave strap to check out
0:30
And you know what? It's very nice. Let's pull it out of the box. So let's see
0:38
As you can see, it is like a nylon webbing. Comes in three colors. This is actually the most
0:44
mellow or chill of the colors. They also have an orange camouflage and they have this dark blue
0:50
camouflage, but this is the one we chose. This is just straight black. And you can see before I put
0:57
the watch on it that it's pretty easy to work with and you just adjust it, use the Velcro and you're
1:02
good to go. So how do you put it on the watch? Well, that's super easy because the Apple watch
1:09
has a little button you push on the back and then the band slips off. So then really all you have to
1:16
do is now we have my 42 millimeter Apple watch. So now all you really have to do is make sure you
1:22
have it on the way that you want it oriented. So do you want the strap to be going like
1:32
like this and in or do you want it the other way? For me this is exactly how I want to do it
1:39
which means when I look at my watch that I want to have this on the bottom half. Now again, super
1:48
easy to work with these. I literally just slip it in, it clicks into place, that one's done. Really
1:54
doesn't get much easier than that. And then the other one, same sort of deal, just got to make
1:59
sure you have it facing the correct direction and that's it. So now it is on the nylon strap. Now
2:06
while I put it on my wrist, let me tell you just a tiny bit about it. So Urban Armor Gear says this
2:13
is the strongest band you can buy. So that's a pretty strong claim. I'm not sure how I can test
2:20
that without risking damaging my watch. So I will just say that it is a pretty snug fit here and
2:28
I definitely feel like it's not going to be coming off my wrist anytime soon. This is just simple
2:33
velcro and the nice thing is it means that you can adjust it to exactly, exactly the tightness
2:38
you like. With a band like this where it has little holes, you're sort of at its mercy and if your
2:44
favorite fit is just between two holes, it's a drag. You know, you're either just a tiny bit too
2:50
tight or it's just a little bit too loose. So it's a nylon weave and the buckle is actually stainless
2:58
steel. I guess it's not really a buckle, it's more the fastener and it uses what they call a hook
3:03
and loop fastener and basically it ends up looking like almost like one of those parachute cord
3:10
bracelets or something. This is definitely a very outdoor looking watch band and I definitely feel
3:16
like this is super secure. I mean, I don't have any sense that this is going anywhere whether I'm
3:22
surfing or mountain climbing or digging through, you know, snow tunnels or whatever the heck you
3:28
do when you go outdoors and you have your Apple watch on, right? So, it comes in two sizes. There's
3:33
one size for the 42 and 44 millimeter watches and then there's a narrower one for the 38 and 40
3:39
millimeter watches. Now, I already told you it comes in three different colors. In black, that's this
3:45
one. Very nice and the black has red accents. It's actually, I mean, I really like this. This is a
3:50
really sweet Apple watch band but it also comes in orange. Here's a little example of what that
3:55
looks like and there's the midnight color because midnight, right? That's cool. So, all right. Only
4:03
thing left to talk about is the price and it's a little spendy but before we get there, do me a
4:07
favor and click on that subscribe button. I really appreciate when you subscribe to my channel and if
4:11
you are using an Apple watch and you have replaced the original band with something else, leave a
4:17
comment and tell me what band you're using because I'm curious what people are buying and what, you
4:21
know, you find your favorite. So, this or this or both is the Urban Armor Gear UAG Active Watch Strap
4:32
for the Apple watch. So, I'll just hold it this way and it is $59.95 and you can check it out at
4:39
urbanarmorgear.com. I am a big fan. This actually is just like the perfect outdoor looking and
4:46
outdoor feeling watch band and, you know, super easy to work with. The velcro means you can get it
4:53
exactly the tightness or looseness that you like and then it's never going to go anywhere. This is
4:59
a really nice band. Definitely worth checking out if you're an adventurer. So, with that, I'll catch
