Got an shiny new Apple watch but hate the band it came with? You could order a new one from Apple’s website and wait a few months for it to come it. Or if you bought the Apple Watch with the Classic or Modern buckle, there’s a simple way to modify it so you can add any strap you want.
Lewis Hilsenteger at UnBox Therapy published a new video revealing a dead-easy way to add third-party bands to your Apple Watch. The best part is it doesn’t even require a third-party connector, and you don’t have to destroy your current band in the process. All you need is a pentalobe screw driver, an Apple Watch, and your new band of choice.
Watch the full how-to below:

Hideous band in the video
Fugly band
Or you could say “Thanks for the video. As an aside, I don’t really care for the watch band he used.” SMH… Manners.
This is a great hack! And you’d never figure out until you got an Apple Watch in your hands. Kind of explains the price of the Classic Buckle band, too.
I think this hack is more for people who already ordered either of the buckle bands.
