Luxury leather company Coach has revealed its latest seasonal Apple Watch straps - with the new Fall collection arriving to give your tech-timepiece a bump up in the style stakes.

To add to the Coach summer Apple Watch strap collection launched back in August, the New York based fashion company is adding new 'Strap with Prints' editions in two colors: Rose Print and the brilliantly-named Pigtini Party. Rose Print is described as 'dark red glove-tanned leather with pink roses', while the Pigtini Party variant is a glove-tanned leather strap with a pig holding balloons. Yep - you read that correctly.

There's also two brand new bands with new colors: Cadet and Crystal Tea Rose. Cadet is a navy burnished glove-tanned leather strap and Crystal Tea Rose is very similar to the existing Tea Rose straps but with crystals on the flowers instead of steel. It comes in two colors: teal and pink.

If you want to get them on your wrist, the new Strap with Print variants are $150 a pop; Cadet is priced at $150 also, while the Crystal Tea Rose will set you back $195.  As has been the case with previous Coach Apple Watch strap collections, there's going to be limited availability for these bands.

The Coach Apple Watch bands will also be available from Orchard Mile, marking the first time the brand's straps have been available from a third-party retailer. However, you'll only be able to pick up some of the older Coach designs, not the latest seasonal releases.

The latest Apple Watch - the fourth generation - went on sale back in September and will, no doubt, further boost Apple's dominance in the smartwatch market.

Of the 117 million smart wearable devices analyst CCS Insight expects to ship this year, Apple will lead the way thanks to its popular smartwatch range. IDC also has Apple leading the way, with a 17 per cent of the overall wearable tech market share - with an estimated 4.7 million shipments in the 2nd quarter of 2018.
