It's the dilemma every Apple Watch owner faces – which band or strap to pick when you buy your watch. After all, almost all of the official Apple straps you can pick up as replacements or new options are pricy enough to make that first choice feel consequential.
When I bought my Apple Watch Series 10 last year, I went for a dark green Sport Loop, the woven fabric strap that you can get at no extra cost while buying your watch. It's worked great, an all-weather option that dries out quickly after a run or being caught in the rain, and it goes with most of my outfits nicely enough that I can forget about it.
