WRBLS Apple Watch Bands Express Your Unique Style
We first mentioned WRBLS International Apple Watch bands when they were in the Kickstarter phase. Now WRBLS International is up and running, selling their wares from their own site. Their bands are modeled after Apple’s Sport Bands, but they display fun and exclusive designs, ten in all. The bands are divided into three sections: Business Casual, Sporty, and Urban Stylers.
WRBLS sent me the band called Sweet Kay, which is a two-tone peach herringbone pattern from the Sporty line. It’s a beautiful band. The quality is certainly on par with Apple’s bands. The WRBLS logo is on the end of the long part of the band, so it’s tucked under the other side and thus not visible when wearing the band.
The material is firm, thick, and solid, not floppy or sticky like some third-party bands can be. The fit and finish is marvelous, the band fits into the watch properly. The WRBLS band is comfortable and a pleasure to wear. Like Apple’s Sport Bands, each band can be ordered in the 38mm or 42mm width, and there is a S/M or M/L length band option. Unlike Apple, WRBLS does not send you both the S/M and M/L lengths; you choose one or the other when you order. The sizing and fit of the bands is the same as Apple’s Sport Bands. I place the pin in the same hole on this band as I do on my original Sport Band.
Apple will surely be announcing new bands along with the ‘Apple Watch 2’ next week. But for about the same price as Apple’s offerings, consider checking out WRBLS for something more unusual.
Prices range from €39.00 to €46.00, or roughly $43.40 to $51.19 at this writing. You can purchase them on the WRBLS International website.
