Our biggest challenge? The Apple Watch

Origin

We are bandkult - a brand with clear aspirations and an exciting history.

We started in 2023 under the name millestec.com with the aim of offering high-quality smartwatches at a fair price. Right from the start, our focus was on design, quality and a product that people really enjoy wearing - day after day. Our smartwatches were the beginning, and they are still an integral part of our range today.

But we soon realized: There's more to it. Our enthusiasm for detail and the desire to design accessories not just as accessories, but as part of a personal style, gave rise to our second mainstay - Apple Watch straps. What began as a supplement quickly became the heart of our brand.

In April 2025, we took this change to the outside world - millestec.com became bandkult.de. The new name reflects what we stand for today: Cult around the band - with character, aspiration and a clear eye for quality. Our journey has evolved, but our values have remained the same.

Whether smartwatch or bracelet - every product that bears our name stands for well thought-out design, honest quality and attention to detail.

Constantine CEO

When I founded Millestec in 2023, it was never just about technology. It was about creating products that people really enjoy wearing - day after day. With bandkult, we have taken this idea further and refined it. We wanted to offer more than just smartwatches. We wanted something unique, something with character. Our Apple Watch bands are the result of this aspiration - clear in design, high-quality in execution and backed by genuine conviction. The name change to bandkult in April 2025 was not a break for us, but a commitment. To quality, to style - and to a brand that takes a stand. I personally stand behind every product we sell. Because I am convinced that anyone who wears something on their wrist every day deserves more than compromises." - Konstantin Milles, founder & CEO of bandkult

The plan

Our plan: Apple Watch wristbands that can do more

At bandkult, we have a clear goal: to offer Apple Watch bands that are more than just accessories. For us, it's not just about function - it's about style, quality and a sense of value that you can feel as soon as you put the band on.

We rely on selected materials, well thought-out design and honest product development. No mass-produced products, no generic look - but bracelets with character that radiate exactly what bandkult stands for: clear lines, high-quality craftsmanship and a thoroughly harmonious wearing experience.

Every piece of feedback is valuable to us. Because our plan is not just to sell wristbands - but to make the best ones we can. For all those who not only want to use their Apple Watch, but also want to show it off.

Bracelet start

From the idea to implementation - how our bracelets came into the range

The idea of offering our own Apple Watch wristbands came from a very simple thought: Why are there so many smartwatches - but so few wristbands that look and feel really good?

One afternoon in the fall of 2023, during an internal discussion of a new smartwatch model, someone from the team paused for a moment and said:

"It's actually the band that you see. Not the technology."

That was the trigger.

What followed was a process that quickly became a real passion. We tested various materials, contacted manufacturers, ran countless samples through our hands - and never lost sight of one thing: our standards. Only bracelets that convince us are included in our range.

Today we offer a selected collection of Apple Watch bands - clear in design, manufactured to a high standard, with attention to detail. What began as an idea on the sidelines is now a core element of bandkult. And we are only at the beginning.

First bracelets, first reactions We started with a small collection - and were excited to see the feedback. The reactions from our first customers were honest, direct and incredibly valuable. Many praised the high-quality workmanship and the well thought-out design. That's exactly what showed us: We are on the right track.

The first reactions - real feedback, real confirmation When we added our first Apple Watch wristbands to the range, it was more than just a product test for us - it was an assessment. We wanted to know: Is our claim being received outside? Do people feel how much work, selection and passion goes into each band? We started with a small collection: a classic leather strap in black, a modern silicone strap in neutral colors and a sporty nylon model. Not a big risk, but enough variety to see what works - and what doesn't. The first feedback came in shortly after the launch: "Finally a strap that doesn't look like a run-of-the-mill accessory." "Wears better than the original." "Really high quality - you notice that immediately." That was the moment we knew we were on the right track. Of course, there was also critical feedback - one customer wanted a strap with more color choices, another thought the clasp was a little too stiff. But that's exactly what we were looking for: real opinions that help us to improve. This initial feedback not only encouraged us, but also immediately steered us towards further development. Today, all feedback flows directly into our product development - and we are delighted with every message that shows that our bracelets are well received. Not only visually, but also in everyday life.

Mission accomplished

Mission accomplished - but we won't stop

When we launched in 2023, our mission was clear: to offer smartwatches and accessories that not only work, but also inspire. With the addition of our own Apple Watch straps, we have taken this ambition to a new level. The initial reactions from our community, the honest feedback and the strong demand show us that our idea is hitting a nerve.

But for us, "mission accomplished" does not mean standing still. It is a milestone - and the drive to continue. With new designs, even better materials and the same attention to detail that started it all.
