Review on Upgrade Your Apple Watch With Genuine Leather Strap - KYISGOS Compatible With IWatch Band In Retro Camel Brown/Black, Fits 41Mm/40Mm/38Mm Sizes by Natasha Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Major win, but with a few minor flaws!

So, I’m normally very quick to give 5 stars but I had to take off one star for three very small reasons. One: There are some minor differences in size between my Apple Sports Band and this band. Notice the difference in length in my picture. Also, I included a picture with an arrow pointing to the band. The arrow is pointing at the part where the inner wraparound piece almost touches the watch. I recognize that I have extremely (and somewhat abnormally) small wrists, so that might not be an issue for someone with larger wrists than mine. But, I can only wear this on the third to last hole because of that design flaw. If I put it on the tightest or second tightest hole, it overlaps so much that the band bumps into the watch face and bunches up. I showed that in one of the pictures as well (when I had it on the second to last hole). Two: The band seems more like a soft suede on one side and leather on the other side. In my picture where I wrote "soft” and "hard”, I was trying to show that the back of the band that goes against your wrist is leather-like but the part that you see and the part that’s most exposed to "the elements” is definitely a soft suede-like material. Third: It’s supposed to be exactly the same color match as my 44MM Stainless Steel Gold watch, but the band definitely has more of a matte gold look to it than a shiny, stainless steel look. It still matches quite nicely! But it’s not EXACT. I suppose if you’re looking for something to match, then this is your best bet, in my opinion. I looked for DAYS for a matching band and none of them seemed as close as this band gets. Most of the bands out there are meant to match the rose gold watches (bummer!). Anyway, if you can get past those three VERY minor things, then this is the absolute cutest leather band! I’m obsessed with the fact that it closes and clasps just like the sports bands do! That was one of the reasons I was always deterred from getting a leather band because I hate the idea of having to use a traditional clasp on it. So I love that small feature and I wish most of the other brands would hop on board with that idea! The leather isn’t as dark as I would have liked; it’s more of an orange brown, but it’s still cute! Otherwise, for only $8, this is totally worth it. I mean, you just cannot go wrong with that price! Value for the money is definitely a win.
