Once you have your Apple Watch, you're going to need some accessories. Here are the ones for you to consider first.

A case and a screen protector. Apple's service pricing is notoriously exorbitant—repairing a watch costs almost as much as buying a new one! Bigger and more expensive isn't always better. If the case is big and doesn't fit well, it will rattle annoyingly every time you get a notification. I like the Spigen Thin Fit Case ($15) and a screen protector set from Amazon ($10); extras are nice if you mess up the first application.

Whatever band you want. Our guide to the Best Apple Watch Accessories has a ton of options. Reviewer Martin Cizmar caved and bought the Hermés Kilim band ($350), which is one of the most successful brand collaborations of all time. My personal favorite watch is also the Watch Ultra 2 and my favorite band is the new black Milanese loop ($200).

A 3-in-1 charger. Apple Watches are notoriously hard to keep charged. This Belkin Qi2 charger ($110) is our favorite stand, but we have many more selections in our guide to the Best 3-in-1 Chargers. You could also pick up a power bank ($90) with a built-in Apple Watch charger so you're not caught out with a dead watch.
