Helsinki-based RobustGoods has expanded its collection of waterproof aftermarket sport bands for Apple Watch Series 1-10, SE, and Ultra models, made from premium materials such as FKM rubber and titanium.
-- RobustGoods now offers waterproof aftermarket sport bands compatible with Apple Watch Series 1-10, SE, and Ultra models, available as more affordable alternatives to Apple's first-party offerings. The collection features straps made from premium silicone, woven nylon, and FKM rubber with magnetic clasps, pin-tuck closures, and titanium hardware.

The collection includes three primary material offerings: premium silicone with magnetic clasps for quick on-and-off convenience, woven nylon elastic loops that provide adaptive comfort during long wear, and FKM rubber with titanium hardware for secure hold during intense workouts. These breathable materials wick sweat rather than trap moisture, reducing odor buildup and skin irritation during extended wear.
As RobustGoods explains in their announcement, demand for high-quality alternatives to Apple's Sport Loop and Sport Band has risen dramatically. While these first-party products are reasonably durable, they lack aesthetic variation, appealing more to the sleek, hyper-modern brand that Apple has cultivated and offering little to those who prefer a more rugged look.
As such, RobustGoods has designed its collection through material innovation and hardware choices that prioritize longevity in harsh conditions. They took into account the diverse needs of swimmers, hikers, and other athletes in the creation of these bands, with the intention of delivering a product that will not degrade during high-performance activities.
To achieve this, they use FKM rubber, a fluoroelastomer compound, which resists damage from sunlight, heat, and chemical exposure while maintaining resilience and integrity over time. Unlike traditional rubber, which breaks down when exposed to environmental stressors, FKM remains flexible in extreme temperatures and withstands saltwater swims, alpine hikes, and obstacle-course impacts.
RobustGoods bands feature Grade-2 titanium hardware, which similarly will not degrade in saltwater environments; a simple freshwater rinse after ocean use prevents salt buildup from evaporation and maintains clasp and magnet function. The hardware complements the FKM compound for corrosion-free performance that beach athletes and open-water swimmers can rely on session after session.
Sizes range from 40mm to 49mm, fitting wrists up to 9 inches. Entry-level silicone bands start at $24.90—less than Apple's $49 Sport Band.
