Review on Upgrade Your Samsung Galaxy Watch With Vetoo Leather Replacement Straps - Available For Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Classic, And Galaxy Watch 3 by Grant Zeeb

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Inside of band bleeds yellow dye. Otherwise it's perfect. Ugh!

Let me start by saying I love this watch band. But I don't love having my wrist turn yellow. It's the most comfortable watch band I've ever had, and it looks as good in person as it does in the photos. The rose gold perfectly matches my Samsung Galaxy watch.The problem is, for the inside of the strap, they used leather that was dyed yellow, but it wasn't sealed. It didn't take much sweat to make it bleed yellow dye onto my skin. I tried getting it damp, then wrapping it around a bottle with a color catcher against the yellow leather. Did it several times, but could never get it to stop bleeding. As a last-ditch effort, I'm trying some leather cleaner wipes I have, to see if that helps clean and seal it at all, but I doubt it will. I'll post an update if it works. If it doesn't, I'll have to return it.I'm REALLY disappointed, because I honestly love this watch band. I wouldn't care and would have just returned it, if it wasn't perfect otherwise. But I can't wear it if it keeps bleeding color. I'm just lucky I discovered it before it ruined any of my clothes.UPDATE: No luck. Had to ask for a refund.

Pros
  • A very nice watch band for the price. The color is beautiful and the band is well made.
Cons
  • It was great while it lasted. The band broke in 2 months.
