Design and features

The Nomad Glow Apple Watch band came in a simple box, with the band held down by elastic.

The band is similar to Apple’s Sport band design with a tuck-and-pin system.

The ribbed pattern continues on the skin-facing side, creating a breathable surface.

Here you can see the black aluminum pin and the rectangular-shaped hole for the strap.

I placed the Noma Glow strap over my orange Apple Ocean Band. The Nomad is slightly less wide at 21.15mm.

The Nomad Glow iPhone Sport Case features the same kind of packaging. The color is identical to the watch band.

The case features hard buttons on the side for a good tactile feel.

The interior of the case is lined with a soft-touch material. Note the MagSafe ring in the center.

Assembly, Installation, Setup

The Nomad Glow band slides in just like every other Apple Watch band. I did notice it was slightly tight and met with some resistance on my Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The Nomad Glow iPhone case just snaps right in. Here’s the iPhone 15 Pro with the case on.

Performance

No review of a glow in the dark product would be complete without “night shots”! The glow seems bright but it does fade away pretty quick.
