Amazon bargain site Woot! offers a blowout sale on Apple accessories — 40 items! — through September 30 at 10 p.m. PT.

To make its products more eco-friendly, Apple introduced a new material it calls “FineWoven” today. This material, which Apple says has a “suedelike” feel, will replace the company’s existing leather accessories for the iPhone and Apple Watch.
The move is another step in Apple’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
In this week’s giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a Carbon Fiber Apple Watch Band and an Apple Watch Carbon Fiber Case, both from Lululook.
This prize package, worth $150, will protect your Apple Watch or Apple Watch Ultra to the max.
Apple Watch bands come in many materials, with each loved by legions of fans. Classic leather. Steel links. Canvas. Nylon. Ceramic. And, of course, silicone.
A great example of a comfortable, stylish, durable and convenient silicone band — now on sale in the Cult of Mac Store — is the SwitchEasy Skin Silicone Magnetic Apple Watch Band. The magnetic closure keeps it secure on your wrist, while getting it on or off is a snap.
It’s a hot seller, and we’ve now got all four colors back in stock and marked down by 20% to just $23.99.
Nomad unveiled its new Rugged Case for Apple Watch Wednesday, and it might just satisfy a few folks who wish they had an Ultra rather than a standard model.
The new steel case and included Rugged Band fit Apple Watch Series 4 or newer. And the gear gives you a rugged look and plenty of protection for your wearable at a much lower price than Apple Watch Ultra, of course.
If you’re looking for an Apple Watch band worthy of a black-tie dinner and a dip in the ocean afterward, look no further. The Laut Links Petite Apple Watch Band will suit your needs.
The pretty stainless steel band, which is seawater-resistant, comes in four colors. And it costs only $39.99.

If you’re looking for a hardy velcro EDC watch band for your Apple Watch, Mifa has you covered. Mifa’s Nylon Sports Leather Apple Watch Band is sturdy, the velcro is strong and the stitched leather is high-quality.
It’s a nice band for daily wear.
It comes in five different styles. The gray-on-black NASA-inspired design is my favorite. Two other designs in brown and black emphasize “EDC-34 Essential Series” with the Mifa name. And two new versions (in green and orange) sport NASA’s classic “meatball” insignia.
SwitchEasy is offering a great deal in the Cult of Mac Store through Friday, August 4 — buy any SwitchEasy Watch Band and get a bumper watch protector at 50% off. Just add both to your cart and the discount will be automatic.

Leather is absolutely classic for an Apple Watch band. But do you know what’s even better? Horween leather. And Olpr. Leather Goods offers a great one in a gray color that should develop a character-rich patina over time.

What will the Italians think of next? They’ve produced a leather with such a mirrorlike sheen that it actually looks metallic. And Laut is using it to create quite the statement-making Laut Metallic Leather Apple Watch Band.
