8 Best Apple Watch Accessories for Band, Charging, and Music

The Apple Watch, by far, is one of the most customizable consumer electronics items straight out of the box. And with almost a third of the smartwatch market in its reign, it is also already the market leader.

Whether you're deciding between the new Apple Watch models or want to make the most of your older Apple Watch, you'll need some accessories, which also happen to make great gifts. 

Our recommendations of the best Apple Watch accessories will help you keep your watch charged, enhance its music controls, and make it look trendy.

Best Apple Watch Accessories: Watch Bands

When we think of Apple Watch accessories, the first thing that comes to our mind is watch bands. Here are the three best options of Apple Watch bands to choose from:

1. Wearlizer Metal Watch Band Clasp
2. Wristcam - Band Only (Original Edition Colors)
3. Wristcam - Band Only (Limited Edition Colors)

Wearlizer Metal Watch Band Clasp

Apple's decision to skip conventional watchbands in favor of something much more exclusive is still a disappointment, especially for those who don't want to spend the money on Apple's stainless steel link wristband merely to add some metal to their watch.

But worry not. Introducing Wearlizer Metal Watch Band Clasp — a pocket-friendly metal band clasp that lets you use regular watch bands on your Apple Watch. 

These Apple Watch accessories are a must-have if you are looking for stainless steel metal watch bands. And to add to the elegancy, some of these are combined with top-quality resin that makes it look even more trendy.

Wristcam - Band Only (Original Edition Colors)

Wristcam (Original Edition Colors), a 23-gram ultra-light Apple Watch band, is one of the best Apple Watch accessories. Why? Because it adds the one key functionality to the Apple Watch that it was lacking — providing not one, but two cameras!

The 8MP rear-facing and 2MP front-facing Sony sensors cameras not only capture high-definition photos and 1080p video but are also said to roll out a live video calling feature to all its users pretty soon. 

Additionally, it supports 8GB of in-built storage and can be connected via Bluetooth 5 or WiFi.

Wristcam - Band Only (Limited Edition Colors)

With almost all the features as the Original Edition, Wristcam Limited Edition band, too sports a dual-camera for capturing pictures on the go.

It also auto-syncs your data to free the in-built 8GB memory. You can easily auto-sync whenever you connect the device via WiFi.

Best Apple Watch Accessories: Charging Accessories

The list of the best Apple Watch accessories will be incomplete without some charging accessories for your Apple Watch:

1. Nomad Pod for Apple Watch
2. Wristcam - Charging Cable & Power Adapter For Apple Watch
3. ZENS Apple Watch Powerbank

Nomad Pod for Apple Watch

For all Apple Watch users, the Apple Watch charging cable is one of the best and most convenient charging accessories for the Apple Watch. However, if you frequently go hiking or on short treks in places without access to electricity, the Nomad Pod's built-in charger will keep your Apple Watch charged.

The Nomad Pod is a tiny Apple Watch stand with a built-in battery that can do more than just keep the Apple Watch charger in a more accessible position. The Pod, which costs $60, is a tiny, modern-looking Apple Watch stand that fits in a backpack or bag and can keep the Apple Watch's battery charged when going off the grid for a few days.

Wristcam - Charging Cable & Power Adapter For Apple Watch

A unique charging cable with a cylindrical end that holds the contact points is used to charge the Wristcam. The charging wire for Wristcam is simple to use. Simply connect the cord to the Wristcam's rear side, and the magnets will take care of the rest. 

Having said this, there is enough room to charge your Apple Watch and the Wristcam unit simultaneously using a wireless charger. The wire going over your Apple Watch to charge the Wristcam while powering your Apple Watch isn't the prettiest setup. 

But the best part is seeing the Wristcam has its own inbuilt batteries so that the Wristcam doesn't drain your Apple Watch power.

ZENS Apple Watch Powerbank

The ZENS Apple Watch Powerbank is the simplest and smallest charging option available. The tiny Apple Watch charging dock lacks a Lightning cable connector. However, it uses an internal 1300mAh battery connected to an inductive charger to charge the battery.

The battery's power level is indicated by four LEDs on the side, and the cube can hold three full charges before needing to be recharged through its micro USB interface. But the bummer is that an adapter is not included.

This power bank also has a nightstand function, making it an excellent all-around travel mate.

Best Apple Watch Accessories: Music

If you want to use your Apple Watch to track your fitness activities but also want some musical incentive on those long runs, Bluetooth earbuds are the way to go:

1. Apple AirPods (3rd generation)
2. B&O Beoplay H5 Wireless Earphones

Apple AirPods (3rd generation)

The earbuds are remarkably similar to the AirPods Pro, with smaller stems that are less prone to snag on masks, although they maintain the tip-less design. It is available in the famous glossy white design.

A skin-detect sensor, which replaces the optical sensor in prior AirPods models, is a minor but pleasant improvement to the new AirPods. It still handles auto-pause and plays.

B&O Beoplay H5 Wireless Earphones

Bang & Olufsen is a major player in the world of headphones and with good reason. They provide headphones that not only look amazing but also sound terrific. 

The H5s are quite well-designed. The magnetic buds lock together around your neck and turn off automatically when not in use; they sound great, and the built-in microphone lets you take calls. The headphones have a nice soundstage and don't get distorted easily until played at excessively high levels.

They also come with a handy magnetic charging cube and a variety of ear tips to suit your comfort and size requirements.

On a Final Note

Choosing the best accessories for Apple Watch, either for yourself or for gifting it to someone else, can be a tough decision.
