Popular shoe brand TOMS today unveiled a new line of Apple Watch bands, each of which is made of a durable grosgrain fabric with leather detailing.
Apple Watch bands are divided into two collections, Utility and Artisan. Utility bands, priced at $49, come in Light Blue Stripe, Black, and Olive for 42mm Apple Watch models, and Dusty Pink, Light Blue Stripe, and Clay for 38mm Apple Watch models.
Artisan bands, priced at $75, feature a full leather backing on the band and are more expensive than Utility bands. Artisan bands come in Black Diamond (38mm and 42mm), Royal Blue Diamond (38mm), and Red Diamond (42mm).
All of TOMS Apple Watch bands feature stainless steel lugs and buckles, which match the stainless steel Apple Watch models. GIVE TIME is etched on each buckle with gold TOMS embossing on the band itself.
Each TOMS Apple Watch band purchase provides one year of solar light to families who lack access to reliable electricity.

Are these made out of recycled fish nets and unicorn fur, like their ridiculously goofy shoes? And +1 on the watch band comments. If I ever DID bring myself to buy an Apple watch (likelihood=not) it would be a basic sport band and bands would never even be an afterthought. Why Apple thinks so highly of the watch band concept is beyond me.
Tim has nothing to do with the article. Some forum members skip reading the article and automatically interject negative remarks about the CEO of a Company, because its the band wagon effect with Macrumors. Take your time reading the article next time.
On topic: I am a supporter of the Apple Watch, but these bands are hideous.
