The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 has arrived, promising a premium suite of fitness features for Android users. Aside from its advanced tracking via blood oxygen and temperature sensors, the Watch 6 Series also comes with some subtle, yet effective hardware updates like shrunken bezels to allow the display to shine. While the beautiful, improved AMOLED displays of both the 40mm and 44mm models make for a great screen viewing experience, when it comes to wearable technology, it's also important to consider how the watch as a whole looks - and feels - on your wrist. That's where different bands come in. From bands that add a professional, sleek finish, to those specifically made for exercise, these are the best Galaxy Watch 6 bands we have found to further elevate your smartwatch experience.

The best Samsung Galaxy 6 Watch bands: Which one is right for you?
