Since the time Apple Inc. came up with its Apple Watch back in April, the company is striving hard to keep consumer engaged by coming up with stylized watch accessories. The smart watches have become merely fashion statements which have forced the company to add to its charisma. Thus, the high end luxury designer, Coach has finally vouched to come up with Apple Watch bands this year in June, FY16.
With the launch of the company’s first ever smart watch, the company is taking significant strides to ensure that it continues to come up with cool accessories for the smart watch so that its wearable device range gets a significant boost and edge in contrast to rivals.
As acknowledged by the associate at Coach Boutique, the move was taken into consideration because the iPhone giant initially worked with Hermes with a concept of coming up with stylish and high end Apple Watch bands by the top tier French designers for users. It needs to be noted that Coach will not debut custom watch faces for the Apple Watch at least for the time beings but its aim is to come up with bands for the smart watch as of yet.
Many analysts are of the view that these new Coach bands can act as a great promotional boost for the company and can redeem the smart device all over again. The tech giant has plans to offer its consumers with a variety of colored bands so that they can offer more variety in the form of eight new bands. The device is likely to surface in summer with a wider variety can assist user in customizing their Apple device. The bands will be priced at $150 which is extremely reasonable in contrast to Hermes which was priced heftily.
The band will surface in various colors such as white, black and red having prints and patterns. This clearly indicates that Coach and Apple are striving hard to make these new bands a success amongst the fashion conscious masses. it is also said that some of the bands have sought their inspiration from the Spring/Summer 2016 collection of Coach’s handbags. So all those who own the recent collection of handbags by the company will now have another incentive to invest in the Apple watch since it will perfectly match and the intricacy of the detailing and floral patterns are a treat in itself.
At this point of time, it is still not clear if AAPL and Coach are working together to come up with these bands or the latter will independently retail them as smart watch accessory. Analysts are now of the view that the recent move will push the accessory sale of Apple Watch.
At this point, the trend of using smart watches has substantially increased thus by offering premium designs will work in the favor of the company. It is also assumed that the company will debut these bands during the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) scheduled for June 13.
