Nomad Launches New Sport Band Slim for Apple Watch

by

Nomad, known for its lineup of accessories created for Apple devices, today debuted a new Apple Watch band called the Sport Band Slim. It is an iteration on the Sport Band that Nomad also sells, but as the name suggests, it has an updated aesthetic.

Priced at $60, the Sport Band Slim is made from an FKM fluoroelastomer rubber that is 100 percent waterproof. It includes interior ventilation channels to keep it dry and cool when worn, and it features a custom stainless steel closure pin with a pin-and-tuck mechanism.

The Sport Band Slim comes in four colors that include Glacier Blue, Sage, Bone, and Black, and it is designed to for the Apple Watch series 7, Apple Watch SE, and all other older Apple Watch models.

The new Apple Watch band is available today from the Nomad website, and there is a promotion right now that drops the price to $50.95.

The amount of hate on here for Nomad products is pretty astounding...
That's because this is treated like a news story... It's an ad – hence the hate (I actually like the look of the band though). If Nomad + Macrumors just had an annoying little picture or ad placed outside of the news line, then I guarantee you there'd be far less vitriol. But if you're going to charge 5x what other similar products go for on Amazon, then you need to be able to withstand the heat.

Nice band but there are soooo many bands available on amazon or even alibaba that are as nice at more than half the price.

What does this brand bring to the table?
Those cheap bands are, without exception, made of silicone. This band is made of flouroelastomer, like Apple's own sport bands and Nike sport bands. That alone justifies the price (sort of. Apparently flouroelastomer is significantly more expensive than silicone and is harder to work with, which is why no one uses it. But it feels much better than silicone, and wears slightly better, which is why Apple uses it).
