An Apple Watch can help you track steps, heart rate, speed, and other key factors of an effective workout routine. However, the average Apple Watch strap may feel uncomfortable around your wrist once you get into a good sweat. Issues like chaffing, pooling sweat, and other irritation can occur with the wrong strap.
One of the best things about Apple Watches? Their straps are interchangeable! Below, we’ll discuss what to look out for when selecting a workout-ready band, and why the new Active Link Apple Watch Band from LOGiiX is your go-to choice!
What “Workout Ready” Really Means
Choosing a watch for your workouts is about more than how it fits with your active wear aesthetic; it’s also about how comfortable it feels when you’re in the middle of a HIIT session or benching 150 lbs. It needs to be suitable for your exercise while maintaining a firm grip on your wrist.
The key features you want in a quality workout watch band include:
- Breathability: There’s nothing worse than when workout material sticks to your skin. This can make you feel uncomfortable and make it hard to focus on your movement.
- Water resistance: You also don’t want your watch band to get a bad smell, which you can prevent with water-resistant materials that are easy to clean and de-sweat.
- Lightweight and secure fit: A heavy watch can make completing workouts difficult. Choose a band that won’t make you feel like you’re lifting three free weights instead of two.
Let’s break down how you can access these benefits when looking for a new watch band.
The Best Material Options for a Workout Watch Band
Pay attention to the features listed on the product page or packaging when sorting through your options for an Apple Watch band. The material is one of the most critical features, as it will impact your comfort level the most.
The best materials for an active watch band include:
- Polyester: This material is soft, breathable, and lightweight, and is very comfortable on the skin. However, polyester is not water-resistant and takes longer to dry after getting wet than other materials.
- Silicone: This material is a good option for a lightweight, comfortable, sweat- and water-resistant fit. If you want an anti-absorbent watch that’s also stylish, the VIBRANCE™ Link strap from LOGiiX is made from durable and comfortable soft-touch silicone and is available in 8 colour combinations.
- Fluoroelastomer/FKM: This material is one of the best choices on the market for workout wear! Fluoroelastomer is a durable and flexible material resistant to sweat and water. FKM bands like the Active Link Strap from LOGiiXare designed with perforated mouldings that enhance ventilation and breathability.
