Review on Premium Nylon and Leather Watch Bands for Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm - 2 Pack (Black & Army Green) by Carmen Peterson

To be clear, for the price these bands are really hard to beat. They look great on the wrist and are comfortable too after the first fitting, when the sharper edges are smoothed out. The main problem I faced was the material. This is a cloth-like material that absorbs sweat from your wrists, eventually releasing odors. I'm sure you can toss them in the laundry if needed, but I've never done this to any watch strap I've had in my life and I'm not going to start that exercise now. Please note that the odor became noticeable after only 3 weeks of use, including training and fairly hot weather. I had to resort to the old leather strap I had, luckily it still smells like leather. I will also say that the black pseudo leather material covering the holes is looking a lot worse after 3 weeks of use due to wear and tear. They aren't ripped or torn yet, but I sincerely have a feeling that it will only be a matter of time before I wear them for an extended period of time. As I haven't encountered any problems yet, I won't dock them for durability reasons, but I will say buyers beware.
