You may recall that up until today, this popular band was only available with the Series 2 Nike+ model.
The bad news for consumers? Apple continues to charge rather outlandish prices for its official watch bands with prices topping out at $689 for the Hermès double cuff. To help lend a hand, we’ve rounded up some of the best third-party alternatives to today’s new releases to help you save some cash. Head below for the full list.

If you were you lucky enough to unwrap an Apple Watch during the holidays, your next move should be to buy a few different style bands. Apple will happily sell you some, but you’re better off going with another brand if you aren’t keen on spending your entire paycheck on Apple Watch accessories.

That’s $99.01 below Apple’s asking price and about $25 more than Black Friday. It’s the best full-size iPad for most people since the Pro lineup is generally overkill for everyday tasks. But if you are looking for Apple Pencil support and need the extra horsepower, Target dropped the 9.7-inch 32GB iPad Pro down to $449.99 (from $599), 128GB to $549.99 (from $699) and 256GB to $649.99 (from $799).

This option has auto/sleep wake functionality and gets stellar reviews: iPad Air 2 model from $9.49, 9.7-inch iPad Pro from $9.99. Buy a Bluetooth keyboard so you can really knock out work on your new iPad. Logitech’s multi-device K480 ($35) and K380 ($30) are both smart picks.

Third-party retailers are stepping up big with a variety of promotions across the board. Best Buy, Target, Walmart and others are all planning on running notable Black Friday promotions this year. After combing through each ad, we’ve prepared a list of the best deals below on each of Apple’s top products:

You can finally get your hands on the Apple Watch Nike+ edition as of this morning. It includes the same features as all other Series 2 models, plus exclusive watch faces, Nike+ Run Club app and the biggest difference of all, a special perforated Sport Band.
Apple has announced that it will not sell the Nike+ bands separately, but don’t worry because Amazon already has you covered. There are a bunch of options currently available, most of which are from no-name companies using Apple stock imagery, which is never a good sign. However, we were able to find one option we think could be worth your time.
OULUOQI is selling a knockoff Black and Volt Nike+ Sport Band in 38mm and 42mm for $20.99 Prime shipped. We’ve been following OULUOQI’s knockoff Apple Watch bands on Amazon for the better part of the past year, we’ve even reviewed a bunch, and found their quality to be pretty impressive considering the super low price points. So if you’re feeling adventurous and need that Nike+ look, we’d recommend going with OULUOQI. We’re planning to review this model and a couple others, so be on the lookout for that.
Some related coverage on another elusive Apple Watch Band: You can finally buy a rainbow Pride Apple Watch band just like Apple’s exclusive employee bands
Best Buy has a selection of Monowear Apple Watch Bands in 42mm or 38mm for only $9.99 shipped. That’s between $50 – $70 off the original list price (depending on the band) and the lowest we can find for them. It’s also more than $20 off the lowest Amazon listing for the same brand.
Styles for these watch bands vary from natural browns, black and silver to really personalize your look. They feature a solid construction for style and comfort and also come highly rated from Best Buy shoppers.
We also still have these leather bands for $14 Prime shipped.
Best Buy offers the first generation 42mm Apple Watch Sport in Space Gray (model MJ3T2LL/A) for $219 shipped. For comparison, this model originally sold for $399 and still fetches $280 at Target.

You can save even further by going with an open-box model in ‘excellent’ condition for $199 (scroll down to buying options).
The first generation Apple Watch connects with your iPhone for notifications, fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring and more. Although the latest model has a few more bells and whistles, it’s tough to beat the popular Space Gray Sport version at this price. Of course, Apple just recently released watchOS 3 that includes a few popular new features and remedies some complaints from the first generation model.
With your savings, pick up a stylish third-party leather Apple Watch Band or Spigen’s popular aluminum dock for $13 Prime shipped.

These headphones feature wireless Bluetooth connectivity (up to 30-ft), 6-hour rechargeable battery, RemoteTalk, and are IPX4 sweat resistant. Powerbeats3 are on the horizon but they’re going to sell for $200 whenever they end up hitting store shelves.

This is a match for the best offer that we’ve seen on this model.
Apple’s AirPort Extreme pushes out 802.11ac speeds that are up to three times faster than the previous generation model. It has support for dual-band connectivity plus beam-forming technology. On the back side, you’ll find three gigabit ethernet ports and a USB port for file or printer sharing. Geek Squad Refurbished products go through “a rigorous multipoint inspection” that returns products to original factory specifications. More info can be found here.

Other eligible standouts include popular products from big names like Belkin, Logitech and mophie. The extra savings will be automatically applied to your order as soon as you add 3 (or more) eligible accessories to your shopping cart. Many of these items (especially the Apple ones) are very rarely discounted, if at all.
Just bought a new iPhone, iPad or Mac? Use today’s offer to buy some must-have accessories. Here are some of the best deals we’ve found so far (again, you must order at least 3 items to get these sale prices):
We have teamed up with ColorWare to offer to 9to5 readers an exclusive 10% off on its custom Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse. The company is known for its bespoke (and official) Apple gear among other electronics. Ever wanted a Jet Black Apple Keyboard? Or a Gold Magic Mouse? Well now you can. ColorWare also offers custom designs on everything from Beats gear, to Bose speakers, PlayStation 4/Xbox One, MacBook Pro/iPhone 7 skins and more.
Simply use code gadgetnewsonline during checkout to knock 10% off Apple’s Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2. You can use the code on just the mouse/keyboard alone or on both. These are official Apple products that are professionally painted and customized to your liking using the company’s online editor. We recently had a set in all-black (to match the Mac Pro and new iPhone) sent out and were quite impressed with the quality and professionalism on the paint job.
Head below for more details and over to 9to5Mac for a closer look at the glossy Jet Black ColorWare Magic Mouse and Keyboard in our full review.
Daily Steals is offering the new condition iPhone 5s 16GB GSM Unlocked in grey, silver or gold for $279.99 shipped. That’s about the price you would expect to pay for a refurbished model and the lowest we’ve seen.
Note: Unlocked cell phones are compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile as well as with GSM SIM cards (e.g. H20 and select prepaid carriers). Unlocked cell phones will not work with CDMA Carriers like Sprint, Verizon, Boost or Virgin.
We actually couldn’t find another retailer offering a new one, but as a pricing comparison the iPhone SE unlocked starts at $399 at Target and other retailers. So whether you’re looking for your kids first iPhone or an emergency/backup phone this is a great choice. This small sleek phone can call 911 in case of an emergency even without a sim card, has GPS (both unlike an iPod touch) and “find my iPhone” capabilities for tracking and runs the latest iOS 10 software.
If you’re more interested in the idea of a prepaid phone, you can grab Straight Talk’s iPhone 5s 16GB 4G LTE for $149 shipped right now. You can get a great deal on case for it too. eBay has the OtterBox Commuter Wallet Series right now for only $15 shipped
