If you're looking for your next Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 band, here are the best options to spruce up your wrist

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 might be one of the best Android smartwatches on the market right now, but that doesn't mean you can't add your own flair to it by replacing the band that it comes with. And, because the watch supports standard watch bands, there are plenty of great options to help you show off your shiny smartwatch while also adding a little of your own style to it.

This hybrid of fabric and silicone from Samsung itself is a great band option for those who want the style of a fabric watch band without all the irritation. It's also made from fully recycled ocean plastics, so you can feel good about helping the environment while you show off your stylish new band. And, because it features silicone on the inside, the band is both sweat-proof and allergen-free.

If you’re looking for a band that can deliver stylish looks while also offering an absolutely immense amount of customization options, the Casetify Flexi Band is one of the best choices out there. Thanks to the company's partnerships with several licensed brands, you can pick up great bands with designs from huge franchises and artists alike. These beautiful designs come at a price, but if you like a lot of customization options, it can be worth it.

The EverAct 12-Pack has a color for every day of the week and beyond. After all, we all wear different clothes each day, so why not enjoy a variety of watch bands too? Each strap is made from soft and flexible silicone, so they're waterproof, durable, and simple to install, thanks to their quick-release spring bars. You can easily wear one color band for work before switching to another when heading out for the evening.

In partnership with Supcase

The Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro is an essential addition if you lead a rugged life. Part case and part super-tough watch band, the Unicorn Beetle Pro has a bumper that creates rugged shock absorption along with a raised bezel to protect the screen. Its band is scratch-resistant, too, with the watch simply snapping into place. Note: the Supcase UB Pro is only available for the 44mm Galaxy Watch 4.

Going the official route often costs more than buying a third-party band, but you get what you pay for. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Fabric Band offers a smart, breathable, and appealing design. The band is made with a nylon weave, making it secure but comfortable. And a simple hook-and-loop fastener means it takes seconds to attach, so you can easily swap watch bands as needed. Aside from the price, the only downside is that the color options are a little muted.

For active users, it's easy to like the options with the Lerobo Sport Watch Band. These silicone bands are waterproof and made to handle sweaty workouts session or a run in the rain. It doesn't hurt that they feel soft and lightweight at all times, and the breathable material helps prevent chafing no matter how hard you lift, sprint, or perspire. They may not stand out without any special designs or patterns, but they'll work just fine if you need a cheap solution while exercising.

The Olytop Elastic Bands come in a standard four-pack, but it's possible to buy two for slightly less. These are soft loop straps made from breathable nylon, which makes them easy to wash. If you have your watch on from morning through night, this is a good pick. A spring bar helps hook the strap to your watch, making it simple enough to swap over. Color schemes aren't the most exciting, but they are reliable and long-lasting.

The Vcegari Slim Band is ideal for slender wrists that don't want the bulk or weight of a traditionally sized watch band. Made from silicone, the band gives you all the benefits of sweat resistance and waterproofing alongside a thinner design than other competitors. In addition, quick-release spring bars make it simple to switch between bands. Each three-pack offers various colors, so there should be something for every mood here.

Sometimes you want something more elegant than a silicone or nylon watch band. A leather option is excellent for the workplace or an evening out; the Barton Quick Release Top Grain Leather looks highly professional, with a stainless steel buckle complementing the top-grain leather. The treated underside feels good on your skin, while the outer side looks classy at work. It uses a quick-release knob to attach. Just bear in mind that it's best suited for smaller wrists.

Nahai presents a lot of options for you to choose from when it comes to its Silicone Band. You get a trio of bands, with nine different sets to pick what works for your tastes. And it's safe to wear the silicone design for long periods, thanks to the holes helping your skin breathe more easily. To top it off, these bands are sweat and water-resistant; they were made to run through a rainstorm or hit it hard at the gym.

Of course, you can choose a more understated look; however, we love the rainbow styling of the Minggo Solo Loop. It's made from 100% recycled nylon braided materials, so it's environmentally friendly. In addition, its nylon material is sweat-resistant and soft, so you can wear it for multiple purposes. If you want to spruce up your style or add extra color to your everyday look, these bands will work great for day-to-day wear.

The Geak Floral Band looks very cute with a choice of highly colorful designs. There are plenty of fun designs with a mix of different patterns to show off. On the downside, because it uses a print, it isn't the most durable band; the picture likely fades over time, especially if you tend to really punish your watch bands. As far as fit, its double-hole snap design makes it easy to secure to your wrist, while the silicone material is skin-friendly.

Sometimes it is difficult to beat the tried-and-true design of a metal watch band. At least, that's the idea behind the Fullmosa Quick Release watch band, which combines the stylish look of a metal band with easy-to-release latches that make putting it on your Galaxy Watch 4 exceptionally easy. It also gives your Watch 4 a fancier look than some other silicone bands.

Finding a great style for your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is all about determining what you want and what kind of flair you’re looking for. While some bands will no doubt draw more attention to that little device on your wrist, they might not always deliver the features that others do — like being free of allergens or even offering a sweat-proof design, which is a big part of what makes the Samsung Hybrid Watch Band stand out above the rest of the options. This combination of fabric and silicone is designed from recycled ocean plastics and is made to deliver sweat-proof wear, all while looking clean on your wrist.

Of course, if you want to bring more flair to your device, then going with one of the premium bands, like the Casetify Flexiband for Galaxy Watch 4 band, is a great choice. This watch features a ton of different designs from artists and brands, thanks to the company's Co-Labs system.

Even with the premium options, though, sometimes you just want a simple band that does the trick and gives you plenty of customization options. EverAct's value pack comes with multiple watch bands, including several different colors. They’re also designed for sportswear, which means you can count on their sweat-proof design to get you through any exercise.
