For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Southern Straps to offer MacRumors readers have a chance to win an Apple Watch Series 12 and a nylon strap from Southern Straps to match.
Southern Straps is a California-based company that has been producing high-quality Apple Watch straps since the device launched in 2015, and the company’s selection of straps offers an alternative to Apple straps in unique styles that Apple doesn’t offer.
Southern Straps decided to make NATO-style nylon straps for the Apple Watch more than a decade ago, and still makes the same handcrafted watch straps today. With years of experience, Southern Straps has had time to perfect the look and construction of the band.
Available for $60 or two for $105, each Southern Straps Apple Watch band is made from a single piece of nylon that is folded, heat-sealed and sewn together for durability. The multi-step process ensures each strap will hold up for years of use and comes with a five-year warranty.
Southern Straps offers over 10 color options, ranging from solid colors in green, black and beige, to striped options in colorful combinations such as blue and green, blue and red, khaki and red, blue and white, blue and orange, black and grey, and the classic red, white and blue.
The bands can be ordered with black, silver, or gold hardware to match different Apple Watch models. There are two sizes: one compatible with Apple Watch models from 42mm to 49mm and one compatible with smaller models from 38mm to 42mm. The bands work with all Apple Watch models, from the original Apple Watch to the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Series 12.
Anchored spring bars are included with each band so you can change the hardware if you get an Apple Watch in a new size or color. Southern Straps are perfect for everyday use and easily transition from work to workout.
