Review on Vintage Leather Band by Anthony Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love this Apple Watch band!

Really cool leather band and I love the hardware!My wife and I bought Carterjett Tire Tread bands which we really like. I also got their leather NATO style band. Both are great. This is a review of the Vintage Brown leather band for Apple Watch.The leather is really nice and the style is one I haven’t seen anywhere else. It’s made of a kind of leather called Crazy Horse, which is often used for making saddles. I live in Texas, so I know it well and it satisfies the cowboy in me.I laughed at a few reviews that had an issue with the color because his type of leather is supposed to show variations and change over time. If you like real leather that shows markings and gets a worn in distressed look over time, you’ll love this. If you want a shiny, more uniform look, then go for their black leather ones. The quality is great and it looks good with jeans or professional clothes.I found it pretty soft and comfortable to wear right away, but like a pair of leather shoes breaks in and forms to your foot, I expect this will get even more comfortable after wearing for a bit.The lugs and hardware are solid! The connection to my watch is strong and doesn’t have much movement, which I have found with other brands. The NATO style buckle and rings are high quality too. There’s no way they could break off. The Gray color is awesome with the Apple Sport Watch.I’ve tried many replacement bands for the Apple Watch. Some are decent, some are awful. Carterjett is making some really nice ones that are definitely a step above most of the others. I recommend this one as well as the Tire Tread for workouts and any water related stuff you do.

Pros
  • The antique finish and subtle distressing on the leather give the band a unique and distinctive character that sets it apart from other watch bands
Cons
  • May not be fitting for sports or athletic activities
