My Apple Watch band collection part 1

I have something of an obsession with Apple Watch bands. Easily spending more on the accessory than the Apple Watches themselves. My collection currently stands at 51 although with new additions recently announced that number is only likely to grow, I particularly like the orange ocean band and the new pacific blue magnetic link. I occasionally buy a band I like for a future occasion such as a holiday. The official bands are expensive not doubt, likely not worth the £49/£99 and more Apple charges. I would say though in my opinion that some third party offerings aren’t as good. I hear a lot that you can get the same thing for a fraction of the cost on Amazon. There are indeed plenty of alternatives some very cheap, others not so much. Names like Spigen and Nomad do some nice bands for far lass. That being said I have tried many of the sport bands on offer for under £10 and for me they are not the same quality. The ocean band from Apple is a premium band with a price to match at £99 and although that is a high price, the band does have a far higher quality. In summary I’d say the official accessories from Apple are not quite worth what you pay, but you cannot get the same quality for under £10, in my opinion.
