Jiří Filip Although it may seem almost unbelievable, Christmas is just around the corner and with it the classic stress of choosing gifts for our loved ones. If you want to please an avid Apple Watch user with something under the tree this year, in the following lines we will try to give you some tips for gift inspiration just for him. There are a number of really interesting straps available on the domestic market, which will definitely not disappoint under the tree.

Adam Kos Apple's Milan move - indulge in luxury
We will start slowly, specifically with a strap, which is well known among apple growers. We are specifically talking about the Milanese movement, which can be described as the most luxurious that Apple currently offers among straps. And that's exactly why it's a really good gift, because it leaves your "Christmas target" in no doubt as to whether you care about them. And what is so special about this strap? For example, the fact that it is made of high-quality steel fabric, which is extremely durable and at the same time very beautiful in design, and therefore gives the watch an imaginary touch of luxury. In addition, the strap is fastened using a magnetic end, which makes it extremely comfortable, as it fits absolutely any hand or wrist. So, if you want to impress with something really valuable, albeit classic in its own way for the Apple Watch, you simply can't go wrong here.
Njord byELEMENTS – salmon skin on your wrist
If you are looking for something unusual, the Njord by ELEMENTS strap made of genuine salmon leather is here for you. However, this strap, which is made in Iceland, by the way, is able to impress not only with the material it is made of, but also with its design, which is really cool. In addition, the manufacturer did not experiment with fastening and opted for classic steel buckles for threading through the eyelet, which makes the strap look like a very elegant classic. But it is also pleasing that it is available in four color variants, thanks to which it can beautify virtually any color of Apple Watch. In short, a super unusual piece that will definitely catch your eye under the tree.
Nomad Horween Leather Strap - good old leather
And we will stay with the skin for a while, because the salmon skin may not be the right nut for everyone, for example because of its coarser structure. Fortunately, however, there are a number of classic leather straps with a smooth surface available on the market, which are also very elegant and will satisfy any lover of minimalist design. From my own experience I can say that some of the best are produced by Nomad, specifically in the Horween Leather Starp collection. These are high-quality leather straps, which are quite stiff at first, but soften pleasantly after wearing them for a while and adapt to your wrist. They also have a nice fastening system with a buckle, which, just like in the previous case, can be described as a pleasant and, above all, functional classic, which adds elegance to the entire strap. When I add to that high-quality processing and hand sewing, I get a piece that is damn nice on the hand and I believe that it can also conjure up a lot of joy under the tree. At least I personally had a lot of fun testing it.
Eternico – elegance especially for ladies
We will stay with elegance for a while, although this time with a focus on ladies. They are the ones who sometimes dislike the "thick" Apple Watch straps and are looking for alternatives that would give a softer impression, which is often priceless on a narrow wrist. If you want to gift just such a woman, she could be delighted with a beaded strap from Eternico creating a strip of ceramic beads forming a classic strap. This is both a very airy solution and, on the other hand, an opportunity to turn the classic Apple Watch into a great fashion accessory. The great thing is that the strap is elastic, so it should fit most wrists - their maximum circumference can be 20,5 cm.
Spigen Rugged Armor Pro - durability above all else
The last tip for an interesting strap takes us literally miles away from elegance. The Spigen Rugged Armor Pro certainly does not play an elegant piece, but it still manages to impress. This is because it is not only a strap, but also a case for the watch, and one that will provide them with the maximum possible protection. In terms of design, this is a relatively successful solution, so you won't be ashamed of it, for example, in the mountains, where it will certainly find its application. And precisely thanks to its design in combination with complexity, thanks to which it is no longer necessary to purchase additional protection (apart from the tempered glass, so if the "Christmas goal" is also looking for the protection of the predecessor, it makes it another really interesting piece that will not be overlooked .
No, the Milanese move is certainly not the most luxurious that Apple currently offers among straps. You should probably take a closer look at Apple's offers.
And a tip for me? Titanium bracelet from Nomad. Strong and durable like steel, yet light like aluminum.
