Anyone who owns an Apple Watch will have already realized that a fantastic and addictive world opens up: the straps for your watch. The enormous variety of materials, colors, designs and prices that we have available in the Apple Store is only surpassed by the variety that we have in other stores such as Amazon, where we can sometimes find excellent alternatives to the original straps that keep a quality-ratio. tighter price than Apple. After much searching I have found some straps that look almost identical to the original Apple Braided Nylon straps and have a much more attractive price: € 19,99. In case you are interested, here are the Amazon Spain links with free shipping costs.
The straps are of the MIMO brand, and although they do not have Amazon Premium, their shipping is free. Of course, they come from China so it can take two weeks to arrive after you place your order. Contrary to what other brands offer, these straps perfectly imitate those of Apple, being the attachment to the watch the same as in the originals, not like others that have the typical metal hitch of other models. Available in both Apple Watch sizes and all original band colors, you can choose a pair of bands for your collection and you will still be saving money over the original.
At the moment I have already ordered the one you see in the image for my collection, in navy blue. I will tell you my impressions when I get home, and I will update the article with real photographs of the strap, and I will tell you if they meet the delivery deadlines. For € 19,99 including shipping, it is difficult to resist trying a strap that I had wanted to buy from Apple for a long time, and now it will cost me a third of the price.

Well, what was promised is a debt, and I just received my strap. The feeling is good, very comfortable although the first time you put it on it is very rigid. The touch is good, the color is as I expected it in the absence of being able to check it with the original strap, and I am quite happy with the purchase. Of course, the nylon braiding has some small flaw that I highly doubt that it occurs in the original Apple. But what I said, happy with the purchase. I leave you with a gallery with images.
I don't see the links, where are they?
