So, you want to accessorise your Apple Watch, right?

With the excellent Apple Watch Series devices are out in the world, but previous versions still very much popular, app and accessory makers have had ample time to scratch their heads and dream up something disruptive that'll add value to Apple's smartwatch. There are plenty of Apple Watch charging docks, stands, protective cases, and more, for instance. And we've rounded up several of the very best examples available for you.

We've also found ones for older Apple Watch models, as well. Check out our gallery below, and also check out the best third-party apps for Apple Watch.

Get your freedom back with these watch strap adapters.

If an Apple Watch isn't necessarily your first ever wrist-strapped timepiece, you might have a collection of watch straps that it can't use because of that pesky patented strap system. Well, Wearlizer's sidestepped that entire problem with its genius adapters. Using these, the world is your oyster once again (at least as far as watch straps are concerned).

Moshi Flekto

Super charger

This compact Apple Watch charger is really great - though there should be a USB-C option.

Moshi Flekto Folding Charging Stand Compatible with Apple Watch, Compact Magnetic Folding Design, 75 Degree Adjustable Viewing, Supports Nightstand Mode, Built-in USB-A Cable, for Apple Watch 1-6/SE

Amazon

This compact Apple Watch charger is a super foldable travel accessory and we love it - especially the flexible detachable cable.

Moshi has obviously decided that older USB-A is the way forward here, presumably because of the ubiquity of those ports and the ease of converting it.

But if you're a Mac user you might find it a little frustrating as it won't work with USB-C - we'd welcome the choice of USB-C in future.

There's nothing like leather to ooze a sense of class, and this case-charger hybrid is a great choice.

This classy leather case from SENA can sit and charge on your bedside as a dock, or it can packed away, making it great for travel. It does use your charging cable, though, like many of the options on this list.

Belkin Powerhouse

Charge your iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously with this subdued but excellent number from Belkin.

Belkin has a great two-in-one charger that's very minimalistic - it's a company with an increasingly strong accessories reputation. The cables are completely hidden inside the bass, too, so there’s just one to be plugged into the mains. If you have an iPhone and Apple Watch this is one of the most complete charging solutions around.

Apple's own Watch bands

There's nothing like one of Apple's own sports bands to make an Apple Watch feel brand new.

The Apple Watch specialises in easy to swap bands, and some of the options Apple offers are super stylish. No matter which you pick, any of them work across all the versions of the smartwatch. One of our favourite styles is the flexible Sport Loop ban - its soft fabric is extremely comfortable to wear.
