About us.
Bandit Bands started with a simple frustrating truth: finding a band for your smartwatch was, and still is, a bit of a nightmare...
When I was in high school, I worked at a retail store that, among many things, sold heart rate monitors. I soon moved to the big city to pursue my studies, and the humble heart rate monitor quickly grew to fitness trackers, and then into the smartwatches we know today. But one thing stayed the same: customers struggled to find bands compatible with their watches and were stuck with the same generic, often unflattering, rubber band their watch came with. Whether they wanted something stylish, versatile for work and gym, or just a replacement, the question was the same: “Where can I find a band for my watch?” and the answer is a frustrating loop of retail stores followed by a dead end.
I decided to fix that. Bandit Bands was born in my Brisbane apartment. It began as a side hustle but quickly turned into a passion. I wanted to build a successful business that solved a real problem. I wanted to create a place where anyone could find the perfect band for their smartwatch, no matter the brand or model.
Today, while big retailers and online stores have caught on, the smartwatch band world is still a confusing mess. They support limited brands, the stock and styles are wildly inconsistent depending on your watch, and the prices are extremely high.
That’s where Bandit Bands excels. We offer:
-
Unmatched compatibility: Supporting over 400 smartwatch models and counting.
-
Consistent Style: A wide range of bands, styled consistently across all brands.
-
Realistic Prices: Often significantly cheaper than competitors.
To keep up with the constant flow of new smartwatches, we developed our 'AlwaysAdapting' connectors. These durable stainless-steel connectors bridge the gap between your specific watch model and our vast collection of bands with standard connections. Choose from sleek finishes such as black, silver, or gold to create your ideal combination.
Changing a smartwatch band shouldn't be intimidating, and surprisingly, many don't realize how simple it is. That's why we've designed our website to be incredibly user-friendly, with intuitive searches, comprehensive FAQs, instructional videos, and live chat support, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.
Most importantly, we source quality bands and are committed to affordability offering prices, which is often as high as four times cheaper than competitors. Our transparent shipping costs, which calculates live from Australia Post, ensures you pay only the actual cost no matter where you are in the world.
I love every aspect of this business, from sourcing and testing products to streamlining processes and showing casing our bands.
My goal is to make Bandit Bands your go-to destination for stylish, functional, and affordable smartwatch bands.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. I'm excited to see where we go next!
