It's almost new Apple Watch season, which means it's potentially almost time for you to pick out which band you'll use with your next Apple Watch.

Whether you'll be upgrading to the new Apple Watch 10 or the Apple Watch Ultra 3, there are a ton of watch band options for you.

Apple's website has a long, almost overwhelming, list of watch bands in every size and color you could imagine. Whatever you want your Apple Watch to look like is how it will look. The world is your oyster.

With that in mind, here are some of the most notable watch band types to choose from for your new Apple Watch.

Sport bands

If you want maximum comfort, and aren't too concerned about your Apple Watch looking like a real watch, the wide variety of sport bands on display might be for you. Made of fluoroelastomer (synthetic rubber), the sport bands come in bright colors and promise both softness and strength. If you'd like to forget your Apple Watch is even there, this might be the one to pick.

Sport bands are also just $50, and as you'll see, that's a bargain compared to some of the other options.

Sport loops

In a similar vein, sport loops are meant for comfort and affordability more than pure aesthetics.

They're made of nylon weave and come in a bunch of different colorways, such as the Pride Edition featured here. If you want a soft texture for your watch band, and don't want to spend more than $50, this might be the way to go.

Milanese loops

Jumping from perhaps the least fancy option to perhaps the most fancy, Milanese loops are old-school-looking watch bands made of stainless steel mesh. It's also totally magnetic, and Apple promises that means it can be adjusted exactly to your liking. If you want a Milanese loop for your Apple Watch, be warned that it starts at $100, which is $50 more than something like a sport band.

Buckles

This is where things start to get expensive.

Buckle bands, like this mulberry one, start at a whopping $150. For that price, though, you get a suede-like texture and a buckle that is actually magnetic, so it's more high-tech than it looks. Still, $150 is a lot. Wouldn't it be wild if there was one that was even more expensive?

Link bracelets

For the stainless steel lovers, Apple has fashioned a couple of different very nice looking — and also very pricey — link bracelet options for Apple Watches. The silver one starts at $350 and the black one at a staggering $450, but perhaps you get what you pay for. Apple's website claims it takes nine hours to cut a single one of these together and that there are more than 100 components to it.

If you want people to know that you spent a lot of money on your Apple Watch, here's a great choice for you.
