The iPhones might have grabbed most of the headlines, but they were not the only devices launched at Apple's Wonderlust event. Also launched were the latest Apple Watches - the Apple Watch Series 9, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and a new Apple Watch SE. While you do get a strap/loop and a magnetic fast charger to USB Type C cable in the box, there is a whole lot more you might end up needing to keep your Apple Watch ticking smoothly for years to come. Apple's accessories for its watch can cost a bomb, but fear not, if you are looking to add some accessories to your Apple Watch, you can do without damaging your bank balance too much. From straps to protective cases, here are seven Apple Watch accessories you can get for about Rs 1,000, give or take a few rupees either way: Spigen Tough Armour Case with Screen Protector Rs 999 If you are the type that keeps bumping into things, are a bit of a rough operator, or just want to keep your Apple Watch in pristine condition, then this is a handy case for it. It might seem a little chunky but is as tough as they come at this price point, with a clear screen protector that does not affect the touch experience of the watch, and raised edges around the display that will bear the brunt of an impact with any object. In spite of looking thick, it is actually not that heavy. A very good option for those looking to protect their Apple Watch on a tight budget. Spigen Ultra Hybrid 2 Case Cover Rs 849 If you find Spigen's Tough Armour case a little too chunky for comfort, and want something that will keep stains and smudges away without affecting the appearance of the Apple Watch, you could try the Ultra Hybrid 2 case cover. It is a clear case that lets your Apple Watch's design shine right through but is solid enough to keep scratches and even the odd bump at bay. It also covers the display and has very handy edge protection. Daily Objects Black Lime/ Black Grey Sports Silicon Apple Watch Brand Rs 1299 There are plenty of Apple Watch bands around, but if you are looking for something really tough and sporty on a relatively tight budget, this one is a terrific option. It has got that perforated look with round holes all around it, allowing your spin to breathe, making it very reminiscent of one of our favourite Apple Watch bands, the Nike Sport band. It comes in a number of colour combinations, with black being consistent across all of them. Comfortable and light to wear too, it is available for most Apple Watches. Yes, we know the official price is more than Rs 1,000, but it often dips to below that price and you get deals like buying three straps for Rs 1,999! Spigen S350 Apple Watch Stand Rs 899 This very handy watch stand converts your Apple Watch into something like an alarm clock or a nightstand dock. You fit the magnetic charger that comes with the Apple Watch into it and voila, you can simply park your Apple Watch on it, enabling you to keep an eye on it while it charges. if you are an alarm clock addict, leave it on your bedside table so that you can check the time whenever your eyes open and even reach out to turn off an alarm - not everyone likes sleeping with a watch on their wrist! It is reassuringly solid and will not tip over easily unless you really push it hard. DailyObjects Surge DuoPort Apple Watch Charger Rs 1099-1499 The Apple Watch does come with its own magnetic charger and USB Type C charging cable, but carrying it around and finding a power adapter for it can be a bit of a problem. Which is why we love this simple Apple Watch charging solution, which looks like a flash drive with a Type-C connector on one side and a Type-A one on the other, with a magnetic charging dock in the middle. You just need to place your Apple Watch on the dock and plug in the relevant connector into a wall charger, a PC, a Power Bank, or even a mobile phone that supports reverse charging. It is very solidly built with metal components and is very easy to carry. It does carry a price tag slightly above Rs 1,000, but we think it is the best budget Apple Watch charging solution by some distance. RAEGR MagFix Arc M1400 Wireless Charging Station Rs 999 If you are looking for a charging solution not just for your Apple Watch but all your Apple devices, then this is hands down one of the best value-for-money options. The Arc 1400 from RAEGR has the ability to charge three products - your Apple Watch, your iPhone and AirPods. It comes with MagSafe wireless charging support and charges at a brisk rate of 15W. It even comes with two cables - a Type-C to Type-C and a Type-C to Type-A, letting you use it with a variety of charging points. A great "one station to charge them all" solution. And made in India too! Mosmoc Apple Watch Ultra Converter Case Rs 449 Have a 'regular' Apple Watch but want to give the impression that you actually have a top-of-the-line Apple Watch Ultra (review)? This case allows you to pull off that smartwatch masquerade. It has a metallic-coloured frame and has the crown and button with a distinct Apple Watch Ultra vibe, and it fits on top of Series 7/8/9 Apple Watches. It is even reassuringly solid and has a handy tempered glass on top to protect the display. Using the crown is not the smoothest experience, but that's the price you have to pay if you want to pretend you have an Apple Watch Ultra!
