GoKawiilIt's a great time to buy an Apple Watch. In fact, if you have an iPhone, you probably already have one. It's the best smartwatch and the best fitness tracker for iPhone owners. It dominates the smartwatch category, and Apple just upgraded all three models in the lineup.
It's also one of the easiest and most fun Apple products to accessorize. There are tons of different watch faces and bands to swap in and out for different moods. Screen protectors, cases, and straps can help extend the life of your watch; they can also help dress your wearable up or down. To make your search easier, here are the best Apple Watch accessories that we at WIRED have tested firsthand. I also suggest getting AppleCare, which is the company's extended warranty plan, given that service pricing for watch repairs is exorbitant.
Still haven’t decided which model to get? Read our Best Apple Watch guide, and check out our Best Apple 3-in-1 Chargers and Best Apple Watch Bands for more smart accessories.
Updated April 2026: I refined our picks and added new products, including the Anker MagGo Power Bank. I added an Honorable Mentions section and updated product information, prices, and links.
