The Apple Watch Series 7 is getting even bigger, and better.
The display on the wearable device is almost 20 percent larger than the previous generation and features a unique wraparound effect.
And that’s far from all of the improvements. Along with the ability to charge up to 33 percent faster, the front crystal of the display is the most crack-resistant ever on the wearable device.
Watch straps are a great way to customize any Apple Watch.
Here are the best Apple Watch Series 7 straps available today.

FAQ
Q: What Are the Apple Watch Strap Sizes?
When looking for a new strap for your Apple Watch Series 7, you might be a little confused. There’s no need to worry, though. The Apple Watch Series 7 is available in two different sizes—45mm and 41mm. But as Apple has increased the screen size over the generations, you’ll find other sizes listed. The good news is that all previous straps are compatible with the Series 7.
The larger model will fit any strap listed for a 45mm, 44mm, or 42mm model. When on the hunt for a band for the smaller model, look for anything listed for a 41mm, 40mm, or 38mm model.
Q: How Do I Change My Apple Watch Strap?
Apple has made it easy to change the band for an Apple Watch. First, place the watch face down on a clean surface like a microfiber cloth. Press the band release button on the top of the case and then slide the band out. Repeat the process for the bottom part of the case.
When you’re ready for the new strap, make sure that it’s aligned correctly and slide it into the top and bottom sections. A clicking sound will tell you that the strap is in place and secure.
Q: What Kind of Strap Comes With the Apple Watch?
Another big plus for Apple Watch buyers is the wide selection of straps available when purchasing the wearable device. Along with the basic Sport Band and Solo Loops, Apple also offers combinations with more expensive options like the Braided Solo Loop and Leather Link. So you’ll definitely be able to find a great combination when you make a purchase.
