Alex — Founder of Nothing but Bands

Hi, I'm Alex — I run Nothing but Bands.

I'm based in Austin, Texas, and I've spent years doing the thing every smartwatch owner eventually does: staring at a drawer full of bands that almost fit. Nothing but Bands exists because that drawer annoyed me enough to do something about it.

What I actually do here

Every fit claim on this site goes through the same process: we verify the connector type, the lug width, and the case sizes against the manufacturer's own specs — and when a band doesn't fit a watch, we say so plainly. You'll find notes across our guides like "the Forerunner 970 is QuickFit-only" or "the Galaxy Watch 8 uses Dynamic Lug — standard bands won't fit." Writing down what we can't sell you is the whole trust model.

The guides on the blog come from the same place: fit tables, materials advice, sizing help — the stuff I wish had existed when I was the one guessing.

What we sell

Bands for Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, and any watch that takes a standard quick-release band — in silicone, nylon, milanese, leather and more. A band for every mood, outfit and moment; that's the idea.

Questions?

Reply to any of our emails or use the contact page — I read what comes in. If you're not sure what fits your watch, ask before you buy. It's faster than a return for both of us.
