Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses directed at providing a tubular band with seamless lug integration for wearable devices. In aspects, the tubular band includes an extensible strap formed of interwoven fibers. The strap includes opposing outward-facing edges at opposing longitudinal ends. Each edge defines an opening within which a base section of a coupling device can reside. The coupling device further includes an attachment section, opposite the base section, which extends from the base section outwardly through the opening to engage a coupling connector of the wearable device. When the attachment section is connected to the coupling connector, the attachment section positions an end portion of the strap adjacent the opening to engage a surface of the wearable device. In this way, the strap can be coupled to a wearable device by positioning end portions of the strap against one or more surfaces of the wearable device, forming a seamless connection between the band and the wearable device.
