Artman Compatible for IWatch Band 44mm/42mm Man Genuine Leather Band Replacement Wrist Strap Compatible with Iwatch Series 4/3/2/1 and Sport Edtion,Black(42/44mm,S/M)

I go this band to try with my new Apple watch as I prefer leather over the rubber style than came with mine. I have the larger watch version and this easily slid into it just like the official watch band. First, the size I got is barely big enough to fit me. I am on the second to last hole which makes it hard loop properly. When I got this, the size chart was definitely on the smaller side for me but I took a chance and got lucky that it fits at all. The issue is the last few holes are right at the tail end of the strap for the extra part is hard to tuck in. At the time of ordering, this was the largest size they offered. Second, while it is leather, it is not a high level quality leather that you would see on expensive watches. The smell is barely there. You really need to take a deep breath in to smell it. It also has kind of a plastic/rubber look to it. For the price, I can let this pass though. I have a friend that works in handmade leather products so I have been around high quality leather. This just isn’t it. But it does the job at a cheap price.

The Artman Compatible for IWatch Band looks great in the product pic, but I was a bit disappointed when I removed it from the packaging because it looks like faux leather. They even attach a thin swatch of leather to the instruction pamphlet to prove they use leather. It looks like plastic on the sides with a thin leather veneer pressed on the top and bottom. Not the upscale appearance I had hoped for. The fit and finish of the hardware are on point... For the 42mm watch. it is brushed steel where it attaches to the watch with a shiny steel clasp. No rough edges on the mouthing brackets and it even comes with a link tool to remove the band from the hardware. That's a nice touch for an inexpensive watch band. It is packaged nicely which makes it very giftable.

This band does indeed appear to be real leather, albeit slightly stiff out of the box and certainly not of the highest grade. Also, the S/M band seems to be a little smaller (subjectively) on my wrist than others nominally of the same size class. Still, there is no questioning its appearance (excellent), its price (low), its fit (comfortable), or the construction of its clasp and wristpop connectors (solid after a week of light use). All in all, highly recommended value for the money.

This is a nice, leather strap for the 48mm Apple Watch. On my 2nd gen watch there is a little bit of play once attached - the parts that slide into the watch can move around a little, but nothing that presents a problem. The strap looks sturdy - between 1.5 to 2mm thick - and should last quite a while. A nice update to my original linen strap that was getting annoying due to the end of the strap escaping from the little loop.

This is a well-crafted watch band with soft and flexible leather. The look is modern, casual and looks really nice on (see pics). I really like the updated clasp which is a nice detail compared to most watch bands. It slid right onto my iPhone with no problem and there's an included tool to help you push in the stop if needed (I haven't needed it).

This isn't fantastic quality, but it's decent and I like, a lot, that's a traditional buckle clasp instead of the Apple Watch push through clip that can be difficult to fasten securely, allowing your watch to fall off and have the face break (ask me how I know).So, yeah, for that reason alone this one is a huge win for us.

I purchased this for the larger size Apple Watch and while bands made for it usually fit my thick wrists, this one did not or did but just barely. But if your wrists are slimmer, this is a okay, inexpensive leather watch band. For the price, it looks nice, but I don't know how long it will endure.

If this iWatch band is made of leather, it must be of the lowest quality ever found. It feels like hard plastic and it's very stiff. It doesn't feel comfortable on the wrist. As for looks, it's just OK, leaning on a bit too simple/boring.
