![]() ![]() How the Aura Strap works has changed slightly. Many of these features are also on normal Apple Watch.(Image credit: Michael Sawh) Aura Strap 2: Performance and software Swapping the straps is still fiddly though and the build quality of the casing holding the electrodes in place feels a bit cheap. It definitely feels like a better strap to wear than the first version and it’s good to see it’s one you can keep on during swims and showers as long as you don’t go deeper than 50 meters. On the whole, the design changes are welcomed. We used it with an Apple Watch Series 7, but this is something that will work as far back as the Apple Watch Series 3. It definitely sits more comfortably than the first strap and is noticeably slimmer and lighter too, which is good to see. The positioning of the electrodes means getting this strap off has to be done by pulling it over your wrist, which can be a pain to do if you have big hands to stretch it over. Once you get a strap that works, it’s as easy as clipping into place a standard Apple Watch strap. It felt as if it would be very easy to break that case, which would effectively leave you having to buy a new one. There’s a guitar pick-shaped piece of plastic included that you use to open up the casing housing the electrodes where you’ll also release the replaceable coin cell battery that’s powering the smart strap and should give you a good six months of battery life depending on how regularly you use it.Ĭhanging those straps is frustratingly fiddly to do and took us a fair while to line up a new strap inside of the casing to clip it back in place. You had to take out screws on the first strap, so the process has improved, but it’s still not great. Getting those straps in place, however, is tricky business. Like the first Aura Strap, the second iteration looks mostly like a normal Apple Watch strap and connects with the same lug design, but in the middle, you have a pair of medical steel electrodes that sit on either side of the strap, which do contain nickel.Īura has switched from the softer nylon material strap it used previously for a silicone one and it’s also including additional sized straps in the box to make sure you get a good fit. Changing, adding or removing strap is a pain.(Image credit: Michael Sawh) Aura Strap 2: Design and features ![]()
