I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks (my review is coming soon), and my experience with the smartwatch has been great so far. The Watch 8 Classic looks fantastic, it’s loaded to the brim with health features, and the rotating bezel is oh-so-good.
However, throughout the majority of my time wearing the smartwatch, I haven’t been using the leather watch band that came included in the box. Instead, I’ve been wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic with a cheap $10 band I found on Amazon.
Pairing a $500 smartwatch with a $10 watch band might sound blasphemous, but that’s precisely what I’ve been doing — and I haven’t regretted it for a second.
The perfect everyday band for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic

The watch band in question is the MoKo Sport Band. It was one of the first Galaxy Watch 8 bands to hit online store shelves, and priced at just $10 for a single band (or $17 for a three-pack), it’s one of the most affordable, too.
Admittedly, I didn’t have very high hopes when I bought the MoKo Sport Band. However, after it arrived and I attached it to the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, I knew I had made the right decision.
As the “sport band” name suggests, MoKo’s band is made out of silicone. The buckle is made of metal, and both ends of the band feature a nice stitching accent to add some flair. (The orange band I have has orange and blue stitching.)
