Apple Watch add-on band promises to double battery life 

The Apple Watch's battery life is a major point of contention against the smartwatch. But accessory makers are trying to remedy that. Enter the WiPowerBand, an add-on band that promises to extend battery life up to two days. The band comes with a built-in 250mAh battery that you clip onto the underside of the Apple Watch. It's made with high-density polymer and soft silicone. It comes in blue, white, and black for the 42mm model, and orange, white, and pink for the 28mm version. The bands are expected to start shipping between May and June. The 42mm version will retail for US$99, while the 38mm will cost $89. If you're willing to sacrifice the Apple Watch's looks for extra battery, you can preorder it from WiPowerBand's site. They currently only accept PayPal as the mode of payment.
