Can you get a watch strap that matches your phone case?
Yes. Many prints at etchd are made as an Apple Watch strap as well as a phone case, which makes this the only pairing in the range you actually wear.
That difference matters. Every other accessory is something you carry. A strap is on your wrist all day, in every photo, at every meeting, which puts it much closer to jewellery than to tech.
Why this pairing works differently from the others
Your phone and your watch are almost always visible at the same time. You check one while the other is on the wrist holding it. So of everything in the range, this is the pair most often seen together, and the one where a clash is most obvious.
It is also the most personal. A case can be swapped in seconds. A strap is part of what you are wearing, so it wants to suit you rather than just suit the phone.
What is the strap made of?
Soft faux leather, which sits smoothly against skin and stays light on the wrist through a full day. The buckle and the adaptors that connect it to the watch are stainless steel, so the part doing the actual work is metal rather than plastic.
Which watches does it fit, and what sizes?
It is made for the Apple Watch, in two sizes: 38 to 41 mm and 42 to 45 mm. Choose the one that matches your watch case, not your wrist.
The hardware comes in four finishes, black matte, silver matte, gold matte and rose gold matte, so you can match the buckle to the watch you already own rather than accepting whatever came in the box.
Does the print match the case exactly?
A strap is a long, narrow band that curves around a wrist, and a case is a flat rectangle. A motif that fills a case would be cut into unrecognisable strips on a strap, so each design is laid out for the band's proportions instead. The colours and the character carry across; the crop does not.
Is every design available as a strap?
Not all of them. Roughly three in four prints are made as a strap, so it is worth checking your design before you plan the pair. Starting from the strap collection is the quicker route, since everything there already has a matching case.
