In 2015, Apple introduced something we hadn’t seen before: a smartwatch. At the time, no one was quite sure where Apple Watch would fit in the grand scheme of things. Was it an iPhone replacement? A fitness tracker? We didn’t know, but we believed in its potential. And more importantly, we believed it deserved great accessories.

From day one, we’ve been building bands, chargers, and other accessories to help you get the most out of your Apple Watch. Over the past decade, we’ve learned what makes Apple Watch gear great and what our community actually wants to see. Now, as we celebrate 10 years, we’re taking a look back on how far we’ve come.

2015: Stand

As soon as Apple announced Apple Watch, we got to work. One of our first accessories was Stand, a sleek, intuitive charging base that matched Apple’s design language and made daily charging feel easy and beautiful.

Stand was a curved, all-metal charging base for Apple Watch. And it truly was the first of its kind because it was available for purchase the day they announced Apple Watch.

2015: Pod

Around the same time, we launched Pod, a portable battery pack designed for on-the-go charging. One of our favorite things about Apple Watch was how small and unobtrusive it was; it had the potential to change the way we stayed connected while out and about. We wanted a charger that complemented that freedom. With Pod, you could power your Apple Watch no matter where the day took you.

2016: Leather Strap

The next year, we expanded beyond chargers into bands. Our first designs featured genuine leather, a material that’s now central to who we are. Leather Strap blended traditional craftsmanship with modern utility and set a new bar for Apple Watch band quality.

2017: Sport Strap

A year later, we expanded our lineup with Sport Strap. It was made of rugged yet comfortable silicone and was well suited for action sports like mountain biking, trail running, and swimming. It quickly became a bestseller and remains a fan favorite to this day. In fact, the name proved so popular, we kept it for the current version of the band: Sport Band.

2022: Ultra

When Apple released Apple Watch Ultra, its rugged, outdoor-ready design immediately caught our eye. We knew Sport Band could handle it, but we wanted to design a band from the ground up to match Ultra’s capabilities. Backcountry trail? Mountain summit? We wanted an Ultra-specific band that could handle it all.

2023: DesignLab

With the market flooded by endless band options,

we launched DesignLab, an interactive tool that lets

you preview any Nomad band on your specific

Apple Watch model and color. It’s a fun, interactive way

to explore looks and find your perfect fit.

2024: Rocky Point Band for Ultra

After two years of R&D, we launched Rocky Point Band, designed from the ground up to take you and your Ultra to new heights. Rugged, breathable, and fitted with Grade 5 titanium hardware, Rocky Point is designed for adventure but feels right at home in your daily rotation.

What's Next?

When it comes to Apple Watch, we’re just getting started. We're excited to explore new materials, new styles, and new ways to elevate your Apple Watch experience. Your ideas and feedback inspire us constantly, and they keep us pushing forward. We’ve got new bands in development now, and we think you're going to love them.
