LoveBlue for Apple Watch Band 38mm, iwatch Band Apple Watch Genuine Leather Band Replacement Strap with Stainless Steel Clasp for Series 3/Series 2/Series 1 (38mm-Crazy Horse Leather Black)

This is a nice band. Fairly well made although the leather isn't nearly as thick as the picture on Amazon. From pictures it looks rugged but in reality it's more elegant/fashionable/feminine.Also the strap fits my 7.5" wrist with two holes left to go. Because the strap is short, getting the strap to go into the buckle is harder than normal because you just don't have enough strap to guide easily through to the buckle. Not a deal breaker but it would have been easier with even just another half inch of strap.Would I buy it again if it wears away? Probably. But I really prefer a thicker leather look so I might just bring it to a local crafter and have him/her reproduce it.Also as a tip, looking at the construction the weak point of the band is where it is attached to the metal tabs that go into the watch. If you don't keep the leather well conditioned it might degrade there and start tearing away. The strap itself is 1mm thick but where it connects to the watch it's 0.5mm thick only.

It's a great quality piece and I love that I'm able to dress it up and make my watch go with outfits better than the black sports band !!! I use the M/L sports band for my watch on the 4th hole and I'm having to use this on the last hole so that's my only advice just make sure the band is big enough for your wrist ... it can be unisex but I think it's geared more towards a woman's band

This is a fantastic watchband, genuine leather as can be seen by the grain and the smell. The contrast stitching is consistent and pure in color. There are small spots where the glue used can be seen but that is very minor.The band itself is a little on the smaller size the final hole on this band correlates with the third from last on the large black sport band. Just a heads up for larger wristed folk.The pieces that slide into the watch to hold it in fit perfectly and look very nice. The leading edge is a bit sharp so be careful to not scratch anything as you mount the watch. That edge is concealed after it is installed.Good band.Also pictured is Spigen Rugged Armor Apple Watch Case with Resilient Shock Absorption for 42mm Apple Watch Series 3 / Series 2 / 1 / Original (2015) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UVSNQPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_PWkgWoAAyf1nKWhich seems to be a solid case to improve durability. I’ll put up comments about that soon too. I’ll see if cross linking in amazon even works.

I ordered this with a lot of hesitation since I read the one star reviews but I liked the look of it so much I figured losing $20 won't be the end of the world. I absolutely love this. I have four bands for my Apple Watch and I constantly change them depending on whether I am working out, at work, or at a function. This band is my off time band, so I use this more than any other one. And so far I love it. I have no complaints so far and I have to say I am surprised this thing is so cheap. I am a watch fanatic and if I was to buy a similar band for a regular watch it wold cost three times this much. And everyone that sees this on my wrist compliments me, more than any other bands. Anyway, my two cents worth.

I love this band. It’s comfortable and soft and has a nice solid connection to the watch. Lots of folks have commented on how nice it looks, and you cannot beat the price! The only downside is I purchased a watch stand and the way the watch sits above the band it’s tough to get the watch to attach to the charger. That said, it’s not the bands fault, it’s just the design - if the charger is just sitting on your nightstand or desk, it sits in the charger just fine. It just takes unstrapping the watch and sliding the inner piece down to allow connection on the stand I bought. Not a big deal at all, and absolutely does not take away from my overall rating of this band.

This is a really nice band. I like that it's a little distressed and the leather doesn't look or feel super stiff. I wasn't looking for a band hat reminded me of my grandpa's briefcase, so this was just what I was hoping for. One problem? I notice because of the thickness of the leather, I have to wear it tighter than I normally would to get the sensors on the back to properly work. Before it would make me out my password in repeatedly so I knew it was pulling away from my wrist. Not the end of the world and it hasn't stopped me from wearing it but just something to keep in mind.

Was pretty surprised at how nice this was out of the box. I got the crazy horse coffee leather cuff, and it felt like decent quality material for the price. My wrist is on the slim side, and the smallest hole fits perfectly. It was a little tight when I got it, but it has worn in and conformed pretty well to my wrist. It’s pretty comfy, especially for a bulkier band (compared with a single tour strap).What I really like about this cuff over others is that the cuff tapers a bit, which gives it a lighter — maybe more feminine — look. On some of the other brands, the cuff is a big rectangle, which can look fairly bulky on a smaller wrist. For me, this one works really well.No problems with the HR monitor - seems to read just fine. I’ve worn it a few times, and it seems pretty solid. 5 stars!**** Updated Feb 1, 2018 — The pins that hold the buckle broke after only a few wears (boo), and I was out of the return period (double boo). I contacted the seller, and they were extremely responsive and helpful, even though they didn’t need to be. They were nice enough to help me with a different band.Keeping 5 stars for the band (assuming this one holds), and adding 5+ stars for the seller.

I really like it. It was a great price and it looks really nice. I didn’t expect it to be some expensive, top if the line, leather product - you get what you pay for. The leather is soft, suede feel to it, and is mildly distressed. It’s a little stiff and not very thick. The band is perfect for me. I am a small woman, with thin wrists, and it fits well on me. I wanted something kind of big and chunky on my wrist, and that’s exactly what this is. It might be too small for the average size man, though. However, for $20, it’s really nice!
