Nomad is one of our favorite brands when it comes to accessories for your iPhone and Apple Watch. It may not be as well known as some other brands, but time and time again, it continues to impress with high-quality cases, charging stands and some of the best Apple Watch bands.
Its latest offering? A new sports-style band for the Apple Watch that’s perfect for summer. But there’s a catch: You’ll have to get your order in now, because it’s a very limited edition.
Nomad's Sport Band is one of our favorite Apple Watch bands, and it just launched in a brand-new Blaze color that's perfect for your summer adventures.
Meet Nomad’s new Blaze Sport Band
If you’re unfamiliar, the Nomad Sport Band for the Apple Watch is made of an FKM fluoroelastomer rubber that’s extremely flexible, breathable and secure, thanks to a pill-shaped aluminum latch. It’s completely waterproof too, and wicks away sweat better than Apple’s own silicone Sport band.
I’ve been a fan of the Sport Band for quite some time. I use one every single day I strap my Apple Watch to my wrist, and I refuse to go to the gym without it. Once in a while, Nomad will introduce a new color option to the lineup, and the latest arrives just in time for the summer season: Blaze.
The new Blaze finish is reminiscent of Nomad’s Ultra Orange Sport Band, except it’s a little more subtle and not as aggressively orange. There’s a yellow undertone to the entire look, which Nomad says is inspired by “coastal California hues.” It has a hazy sunset vibe that I really dig, and it’ll pair nicely with your summertime fit.
Here it is compared to the Ultra Orange band as well as a few other Sport Band variants I have on deck. I think it’s one of the nicest-looking out of the bunch, right next to Atlantic Blue and High Volta.
Act fast — the Blaze Sport Band is a limited edition
If you want to pick up a Blaze Sport Band for yourself, you’ll need to do so ASAP. Nomad says it’s a limited edition, and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. (To be fair, in an email pitching the announcement, Nomad said, “Will it ever come back? Maybe, maybe not.” I’ve seen the brand rerelease limited-edition bands before, but you can never guess which ones will be restocked.)
The band is priced at $60 on the dot and is available in two sizes: 45mm/49mm and 40mm/41mm. Notably, the color is only coming to the standard Sport Band and not the Sport Slim, which has a tapered design fit for thinner wrists.
You can order the Blaze band starting today at Nomad’s website.
