The Best Apple Watch Accessories

From fancy bands to fitness upgrades, our expertly curated picks will help you get the most out of your Apple Watch. But hurry—gift-buying time is ticking away!

The Apple Watch has become one of the most ubiquitous Apple products. Each iteration offers new features and recruits new fans. There are probably a few people in your life who own one, which makes finding a gift for them a little easier; you can buy a present that goes along with something that's almost always with them.

We've done the hard part and narrowed down your choices. Here, you'll find things for the sporty ones on your list (a bike helmet that lights the way, a band that has bonus health and wellness tracking, and an app from Apple that maximizes fitness features), storage options, a variety of ways to wear the Watch (as a necklace or clip-on), and more.

If you're in the market for a smartwatch yourself or as a gift, and you have a few dollars to spare, the Series 8 and Ultra are the newest Watch options. And if you're on a strict budget, the lower-cost Apple Watch SE is well worth considering.

Be sure to check out our top gift picks for everyone on your list.
