Apple gets serveral Apple Watch Band Patents

Apple gets patents for several Apple Watch Band designs.

The Apple Watch ships on Friday and Apple is getting their patent assets line-up to go after knock-offs. Today Apple received patents for the Apple Watch Sport Band, Classic Buckle and Link Bracelet designs. 

Apple did invest heavily in coming up with innovative new watch bands. Again the company went the extra mile and not just adopt watch bands that are available today from the watch industry. Apple came up with their own innovations to make watch bands better.

The most advanced is the Apple Watch link bracelet design. Wearers can adjust the length just using their fingers. The clasp closes seamless and is not protruding from the band.

Even the cheap and most popular Sport band has smart technology. The fluoroelastomer used in the band is supposedly extremely skin friendly.

Copy cats and accessory maker need to be careful to not stumble over Apple’s patents when coming up with Apple Watch band alternatives.
