The Apple Watch may not be so bad after all when it comes to battery life, but it’s definitely no Pebble Time either. You can get 1.5 days on average with it, so long as you don’t train at the gym for more than an hour, or simply don’t use it for fitness. We thought the idea of bringing extra functionality through watch straps was only a Pebble idea, but it isn’t.
Reserve Strap for Apple Watch is planned to make its debut on November 3, and it’s main selling point is adding an extra 30 hours of battery life to the 1.5 days you already get, which would pretty much mean doubling it. It’s not the fanciest strap in the world, but you get white, grey and black color options, in case you’re interested. The band uses the not-so-secret port hidden inside one of the watch strap areas, so it won’t interfere with the heart rate sensors. Pre-orders have begun already, though it will set you back a steep $249 each.
Reserve Strap confirms that these bands are as durable as Apple Watch bands, which is a good thing, as we can confirm that Apple Watch Sports bands are definitely durable. Let’s just see how that Apple approval process for watch bands goes.
