Samsung is constantly improving its accessory ecosystem for smartphones, tablets, and wearables. After unveiling a couple of camera-centric attachments for the Galaxy S23's Gadget Case last week, Samsung has revealed a new wrist strap for its Wear OS-based smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 5.

Priced at $49.99 in the US (spotted by 9To5Google), the Rugged Sport Band is designed for the Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, Galaxy Watch 5, and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It is water-resistant and does well in extreme weather conditions thanks to its strong fluoroelastomer material. Samsung claims it is a thick band and offers texture to reinforce the band for “long-lasting endurance.

On the inside, the Rugged Sport Band has a different texture for a smoother and softer finish. The watch band comes in two colors—Black and Grey—and comes in two sizes: S/M and M/L. It is available right now, and if you order it today, you can get it delivered as soon as later this week.

Samsung has various other first-party watch straps for the Galaxy Watch series, including Sport Band, Two-Tone Sport Band, Magnetic D Buckle Sport Band, Extreme Sport Band, Ridge-Sport Band, Novanappa Hybrid Band, Milanese Band, Hybrid Fabric Band, Poke Ball Band, Hybrid Leather Band, Classic Metal Link Band, Fabric Band, Global Goals Band, and Metal Link Bracelet.
