iPhone App for Browsing Over 600 Apple Watch Bands Receives Major Update

[MacRumors]

Since the Apple Watch launched in 2015, Apple has released numerous watch bands in a variety of colors and materials. In fact, more than 620 official Apple Watch bands have been released, and there is a beautiful iPhone app for browsing through them all.

Bandbreite is an app that provides comprehensive information about every official Apple Watch band ever released, including details such as color, release date, model number, and price. The app also lets you keep track of bands that you already own, complete with stats and insights about your collection, such as which colors you prefer most.

The app was updated this week to version 1.7 with several new features, including galleries of images for nearly every band, the ability to share stats and insights about your Apple Watch band collection with others, and many other improvements. Bandbreite is free on the App Store, and if you like it, you can consider buying the developers a coffee.

Bandbreite was first released in September 2020 by Filip Chudzinski and other Apple Watch band collectors, designers, and software engineers from multiple countries. The idea for the app stemmed from an ongoing MacRumors forum thread tracking every Apple Watch band and there is also a handy chart of bands available alongside the app.

At least they stay true to: There is an app for that.

Will be supporting the developers and buying them a coffee. All in one stop. I love it! ⌚️🌟

I just downloaded this app on a whim a week or so ago and it's really nicely designed and laid out. They did a really nice job with it.

Found out about this app recently from someone’s post

Regretting not having known about it all this time

On the other hand, slowed down my band buying so probably for the best I didn’t have this when I go on purchase binges

Congrats Bandbreite team!

Nice, didn't realize there was an app. I dowloaded the PDF chart but that thing is huge. Seems like a nice app. I definitely have an Apple Watch Band problem.

It's like they used to say about Excel. Everyone only uses 10% of the features, but it's a different 10% for everyone. Clearly you're not enthusiastic about the watch bands and that's ok. But I wouldn't call it useless. There are a ton of bands. There's apps to track all kinds of things.

Cute, they even referenced the MacRumours thread that started it all. Thank you to @choreographics for enabling my compulsive habits from the start. Your thread is actually what started my entire collection!

Killer feature would be support for generating labels from your collection to several of the common printable label sizes for those of us with large collections that want a nicely organized storage solution.

As a recent binge purchaser of genuine bands (40 in 5 weeks or so and counting) I found this app absolutely essential in keeping up with what bands I went wild invested with my money.

 

[btrach144]

Use this to track my 27 bands.

Great app!

This is my issue.. I have 70+ bands and most are not Apple branded

I agree, that is your issue. Time to start buying OEM!

 

[dstyp]

Be a lot cooler if it had 3rd party bands. At least some from reputable brands.

 

[Wanted797]

Isn’t this like every MR posters worst nightmare?

 

[the future]

Well-deserved front-page shout-out for this awesome app!

 

[chipsandsalsa]

A wonderful app that is filled with passionate collectors. Fill that tip jar to the brim!

 

[Edsel]

This thread is scary. People have serious addictions to watch bands. We need a GoFundMe effort to purchase Band-Aids for these poor souls.

 

[macduke]

This is the most first-world app I’ve ever seen.

But then again I’ve only owned four official Apple Watch bands since 2015, and one really good knockoff of the link bracelet. Guess I’m not on the same level as most of you when it comes to over the top consumerism, lol.

620 watch bands but only 20 watch faces? I think someone in Apple has their priorities wrong.
