The Apple watch is now a common site amongst the style crowd. While the limited edition watch is nowhere to be seen the sport and watch are visible accessories. The best thing about the apple watch is the ability to customize it – straps, screens, outer shells and chargers. Elysium Magazine picks the top accessories for your favourite smart watch.

 

Gold Upgrade

 

 

So you have a Apple Watch sport but want some of that Rose Gold casing? Not a problem thanks to Griffin. The ultra thin cases for the 38mm and 42mm watch are perfect to ensure your Watch continues to be compatible with all types of bands – no matter what the colour. The cases are easy to put on and take off and 1 set contains 3 types of covers. It remains discrete and you can leave on while charging overnight.

The Stand

 

 

Sena makes brilliant leather sleeves for iPhones and iPads. This is a neat travel case that protects the Watch when it’s in your luggage. It also works as a charging stand. It’s compact and light, though there’s a useful compartment in the base for the charging cord. This is handy when you’re travelling in case there’s no convenient surface to rest the Watch on in your hotel room, say. It also means that you can leave the charging cable permanently connected. The lid is magnetic, too, so you can be sure the Watch stays safely inside.

The Beats

 

Bluetooth headphones are the only way to play music from an Apple Watch, and if you’re a fan of colour matching you’ll love these, because Apple has developed them to match the Apple Watch Sport straps.

 

So these Bluetooth headphones come in blue, pink, green, white and black. They’re sweat-resistant and have a microphone for hands-free calls. There are onboard controls to change volume or tracks. A brilliant addition to the Apple Watch in the gym – an essential.

Survival Case

 

 

Co-molded dual-material shell from Griffin protects your Apple Watch from impacts, screen and body damage, and more. The touch-through screen guard protects your Apple Watch’s Retina display without impacting its sensitivity or Force Touch capabilities. A great addition for heavy gym workouts when using weights or outdoor pursuits.

Security

 

 

There’s a Watch app for the Withings security camera so you can live-stream video straight to your wrist, and receive alerts when there’s noise or movement near the camera.

 

Since the camera has night vision capabilities and a wide-angle lens, you get to see quite a bit even on the Watch face. There are more features on the iPhone app, including time-lapse video and air quality monitoring. It’s easy to set up and use. A nice nifty gadget for the home, with the ease of use on your wrist.

Strap Up

 

 

Pad & Quill is well known for its high-quality Apple accessories, and this Classic Apple Watch Band is one of its newest efforts (so new it doesn’t ship until the end of August). You can choose from British tan, whiskey, chocolate and galloper black for your colour, and there’s a selection of metal buckle types to pick from as well. Each band is signed by the maker, a “fourth generation Italian leather tannery artisan” according to Pad & Quill.
