Where can I buy "Made for Apple Watch" lugs/adapters?

Does anyone know of a company selling retail "Made of Apple Watch" Apple-approved lugs for Apple Watch?


I've located the company Avnet (https://mfi.avnet.com/lug/index.html) that sells lots 25 or 200. Not exactly what I had in mind.


Thanks!

As of right now, there's only one Apple-approved third-party lug distributor, and you've already identified it, jd202.


I doubt individual Apple-approved lugs (in sets of 2) will ever become available for retail sale to individual users, however, so Apple can ensure that third-party bands meet its standards.


That said, there's plenty of info online about how to use "any" watchband on an original leather-band Apple Watch, including this video.


Otherwise, you can always resort to buying a non-approved/unofficial Apple Watch lug/band. Amazon sells a ton of them, but caveat emptor.

Yeah, seems you're right. But that's quite disappointing. I thought about buying a bunch of lugs and reselling them, but that's a violation of the terms. And where can you buy third party bands with these lugs?


I've bought some third party lugs and in quality terms they range from a little better than adequate to just meh. Not really interested in buying a $150 Apple band too get a $15 lug. Defeats the purpose. My $17 lug and $35 band get lots of compliments at the Apple Store, so I guess that's the best I'm gonna do.
