Nomad just launched a new Apple Watch band that's eerily similar to the former Sport Slim band, and its colors are so bright that they may just stop traffic.
I'm not even kidding. The new Tempo watch band comes in four colors. The muted options, Black and a purple Dusk, are great for moody looks. But Lumen (a yellow-green sour candy color that almost makes me pucker) and Crush (an orange-based red) pack a bold punch you can see from a mile away (probably). This makes them the perfect band for outdoorsy individuals like runners and hikers, or similarly active or on-the-go individuals.
The Tempo band fits watches from 41mm all the way up to the Ultra models. It features a design similar to the popular Sport Band, which has a thicker and chunkier look -- although I am a big fan of it as well. If you are looking for the classic sporty look, Nomad's Sport Band is back in the Glow 2.0 colorway -- a fluorescent green that glows in the dark.

What I love about the Tempo band is its slightly sleeker and skinnier appearance, which I think is perfect for smaller wrists or an elevated look. But don't let the small frame fool you. This band is still comfortable to wear, breathable, and flexible. When I put the Tempo band on, I was surprised at just how malleable it actually is -- even more so than my Slim Sport Band, which took some time to conform to my wrist.
