How to use any 22mm strap with Apple Watch

In the last keynote, Apple detailed the price of all Apple Watch models and bands. Many people, well many people put their hands to their heads when checking the price of some belts, such as the steel one that reaches up to 500 euros, more than the most basic and smallest model of Apple Watch, a real nonsense. Within days Kickstarter was full of projects offering steel and leather straps for a much more affordable price.

Currently and as long as the kickstarter projects do not end and production begins to later send it to the users, we can buy any type of strap, or use the ones we have from our Pebble (if that is the case) to be able to use them with the Apple Watch without having to shell out a large amount of money, as Apple wants. We only have to meet one requirement and that is that the width of it is 22 mm.
Lewis Hilsenterger of Unbox Therapy, widely known for the video in which he showed how the iPhone 6 Plus was folded (which was already widely discussed), shows us how can we change the strap that comes standard with our Apple Watch to be able to use another 22 mm strap that we can buy without going any further on Amazon for a small price.
To remove the buckles that are attached to the strap we just have to unscrew the two screws that are attached to the pin, remove them and slide the pin to remove it, taking care not to lose any part. As you can see in the video, the process is very simple and does not have any complexity.
At the moment only the classic and modern buckle straps with the only ones that have this system and that allows us to change the pin to be able to use other compatible straps. At the moment, the rest of the strap options available in the App Store, continue to offer a "Currently not available". This seems to indicate that those who were thinking of launching new projects on the Kickstarter financing platform, they will have to weigh it twice, because future they will have rather little.
