Stainless steel
Finally we come to the belts made of stainless steel to talk about two models that are already traditional within the entire catalog of belts of the Cupertino company. First of all, we present you the Milanese Loop strap. This is an updated version of a Milanese design from the late 19th century.

If we talk about stainless steel straps, one of the protagonists is undoubtedly the link bracelet.

Its manufacturing process is so thorough that it takes almost nine hours to cut the different links that make up a single strap. It has a price of 349 eurosand is available in the following colors.
Differences with straps from other brands
As is often the case with many accessories that are available within the App Store, there are imitations of these products made by other brands. Aesthetically Some of these imitations are really well done, however, there are certain points that you have to take into account and assess before acquiring them.
Something that can never match an imitation is the quality of the official strap materials. Whether they are sports, braided loops, stainless steel or leather, the quality of the manufacturing materials of the straps available in the Apple Store is not achievable, and that when it comes to having a good user experience shows, especially with the passage of time. In addition, you also have to take into account the warranty that Apple offers on all its products.
Another very important point is the safety of these imitations. Official straps are millimetrically designed to fit 100% Apple Watch. However, imitations are usually not perfectly adapted and that can sometimes lead to a risk for the device itself.
