I love my Apple Watch. I have owned one since the original Series 0 was released back in 2015. In that span, I have probably missed 10 days without wearing an Apple Watch, so I could argue that it is my most-used Apple product of all time.
I use it to track workouts, track my health, track my sleep, as an extension of my iPhone, and it has just become a part of my daily routine. One of my favorite things about the Apple Watch is its accessories ecosystem, from bands to chargers to cases and everything in between. So here are some of my favorite Apple Watch accessories that I keep going back to.

This is when Google is launching the Pixel Tag and how much it costs
