UAG is more than known around the world for create some of the toughest cases and covers for our iPhone, iPad and other brands of smartphones. The manufacturer wanted to make its debut in the Apple Watch strap market, and it does so with a sporty model that does not go unnoticed.
With ultra-resistant materials such as nylon and stainless steel, an extremely sporty and aggressive design, and colors ranging from the always discreet black to the striking orange or camouflage. Available for both sizes of Apple Watch, and compatible from Series 1 to 4, we have tested them and we tell you our impressions.
Maximum resistance
UAG has been clear from the start, it wanted to get one of the strongest Apple Watch bands on the market, and there is little doubt that it has succeeded. Combining ultra-resistant nylon and stainless steel for the hooks, he has achieved a product that appears to withstand whatever they throw at it. It has also done so with such a bold and aggressive design that it manages to completely change the appearance of the Apple Watch, which abandons that delicate aspect of Apple products.
Velcro closure and stainless steel ring inevitably reminiscent of the clocks worn by the first astronauts to the moon. That Omega Speedmaster with a strap of this same type is an object of desire for any collector, and UAG has been inspired by it to get a strap that can take it all. Really, the feeling when wearing it is that your arm is torn off before the watch falls off. It also adapts to any wrist thickness, from 152 to 210mm in the case of the 42 / 44mm model, or from 133 to 191mm in the case of the 38 / 40mm model.
Extreme athletes or just for fun
Not everyone who wears diving watches plays this sport, and not everyone who wears watches for triathletes is a superman. These UAG Active straps are specifically designed for those who need a secure hold on their Apple Watch, resistance to water and the most extreme conditions, but also for those who simply like to wear a sports watch on their wrist.
They are very comfortable to use thanks to the velcro that occupies the entire length of the strap and therefore allows a large number of closure positions, as well as very easy to put on and take off thanks to the simple closure system. What is important for us to keep in mind is that the strap itself resists just about anything, but does not provide any additional protection to the watch, more than not falling off your wrist. Both the glass and the frame are fully exposed so if you need to protect them you will need some additional protection.
Editor's opinion
