I had continous reactions to the standard Garmin Venu 2s band, so I took a chance and got this one. I LOVE this band and have been using it daily for 2 weeks. It's real leather and came in a very pretty box and packaging. The band was easy to change out and was a bit stiff at first (as leather is), but after a few days it's molded to my arm. I'll be getting this in multiple colors, I love it THAT much. Also, no skin reactions !
