Where is your go to place to buy straps?

I’m leaning towards the ocean band or Milanese titanium strap from Apple. But who else makes great “breakable” bands?

Also, isn’t it cheaper to buy the Ultra 3 with the titanium milanese strap, than separately from Apple?
 
Sadly, the AWU3 + Ti Milanese is £100 more than with other straps so technically the same price - unless you don't need the other strap I guess, which was my situation and how I could justify the extra cost😉

I have a couple of NATO style straps which I found through online sites who specialise in them. They came with Apple watch attachments and pretty unbreakable! I haven't got any leather straps which are on my list so will be interested in any recommendations here👍

Do you like the Ti Milanese strap? Did you get Ti or Black Ti?

I got the Ti version and have to say am loving it. Very comfy and a nice change from all of my other straps. I looked at cheaper versions but as with most Applt things it's just a notch or two up.

Wrt NATO straps, I think I got mine from - https://cnswatchbands.com/

And I had to get some Apple Watch adapters like these - https://www.watchbands.co.uk/apple-watch-adapter-38mm-40mm-apple-watch/

There are quite a few sites that sell NATO bands so worth having a look around to minimise shipping.
