I’ve been using Nomad bands for years now, and they’ve become my go to recommendation for anyone looking for a non-Apple, Apple Watch band. Nomad’s lineup has something for every situation, from sporty FKM bands to premium titanium and leather options. Personally, I always gravitate toward two styles: their Sport Band for everyday use and their Titanium Band when I want something more elevated and classy. But Nomad just blew my mind with their newest release, the Stratos Band. This band somehow combines both styles and materials into one hybrid design. Something I did not know I wanted, but now I need! Here’s what you should know.
Stratos Band
Each outer link in Stratos is metal injection molded from Grade 4 titanium, the same lightweight and strong metal Nomad uses in its other high-end accessories. Between each titanium piece, you’ll find flexible FKM inserts that deliver the perfect amount of give and movement. They were able to construct this band well. It combines the rigidity and confidence of a titanium band with the flexibility and durability of a sport band.
Some other premium touches they decided to go with were the magnetic claps for secure closure, and they provided a length adjustment tool because it’s fitted like a metal cable link. The fact that it’s dual materials means they can also play with color combos, so it comes in such great variations.
Details:
- Titanium finishes: Silver or Carbide
- FKM colors: Black, Volt, or Ultra Orange
- Compatibility: Apple Watch Ultra (1–3), and all Apple Watch models (1–11 and SE)
Whether you prefer a sleek monochrome look or a more two-tone combination, Nomad’s color options let you go all out. Of course, I went with the Black and ultra-orange.
Pricing & availability
The new Stratos bands will be available on October 21 at 12 PM EST. With all the combinations offered, there are six total options to choose from. All of the variations will be $179.
What do you think? Have you seen a material combo like this one before? Are you picking one up? I think this is a genius idea, and I like how unique it is. Especially in a product category that has remained the same for a while now.
