iStrap Alligator Grain Calf Leather Band for Apple Watch 44mm, 40mm, 38mm & 42mm Series 6, SE, 5, 4 & 3 Sport Edition - Black & Brown Replacement Strap with Steel Buckle

First of all, I really like the band and I receive a lot of compliments. I have been wearing it almost every day to break it in. Butterfly clasp works just fine. I chose not to order the one with tan stitching, because it would make the band look a lot cheaper. Some people said the band is heavy and uncomfortable, but I beg to differ. It is just as comfortable and light enough to do any desk job or computer work. I work at the desk from 9am to 5pm, so go figure. Of course the band is stiff when it is just out of box, and it definitely takes time to break in, so that is out of the discussion. One thing that would be nicer is that the the color of the connectors could match the watch, like silver or black. But even that color kind of makes its own statement, so I like it. I am a person sized 5'7" tall, weighing 155 pounds, working out 3 to 4 times a week, and 2nd hole fits just perfect for my wrist. The length of the band is amazingly well measured. I tried my friend's Cartier watch with authentic butterfly clasp, and it surely feels different, but for the price, the quality is superb. I would definitely recommend the band to those who are looking for leather band for Apple watch. Putting it on can be a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Taking off, just click and snap out. Stop reading other comments, and go click the button. *** I never write reviews for anything, but since I really like this, I wrote it with my own will. Neither a string is attached, nor anyone asked me to write this review.

I have a 42mm series 2 and also a series 11. This works just fine on both of them. It's attractive and comfortable. It was easy to put on, too. I think this is a good price for this quality. Also, I wear a medium band in Apple's sizing, and this fits just fine.

Great look to band. Have received many compliments on it. Installed so easy. Makes your I watch look so much better than a cheap plastic band. Very comfortable and breaks in fairly fast. Enough holes to adjust size. Regular strap thickness and functionality.

Good fit and quality

I wanted to add on to my review. I purchased a carrying case for my Apple watch charger. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Smatree-Charging-Original-Magnetic-Included/dp/B019MS45B0/ref=ya_st_pd_dx_rp_c_4/134-1347779-0134919?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B019MS45B0&pd_rd_r=40ea2b49-5be0-4b45-b00f-af939a3a7a8b&pd_rd_w=kJJId&pd_rd_wg=GI23f&pf_rd_p=6c5da0f3-eba8-4698-9a1b-7e3224ba2666&pf_rd_r=02GF847F9AKCCD0Z0CXV&psc=1&refRID=02GF847F9AKCCD0Z0CXV. It's a great case and a very convenient way to bring my charger on the go. However, this watch strap is too long and too bulky and the case will no longer close properly when charging the watch. Also, sometimes the strap shifts a little and the watch stops charging. This has happened to me several times. Of course, I don't realize until I come back to check the charge on my watch to find that it didn't charge at all. This is just something to be aware of if you own a charging case for your watch. I really like the look of this band. It's also a fantastic value for the money. Twenty dollars isn't that cheap, but it's about average for an Apple watch band. This strap is made of nice, thick quality leather. I got the brown with rose gold deployant clasp. The leather is uncomfortably stiff, which makes the watch hard to get on and take off. But this should get better with time. I got the brown with rose gold deployant clasp. It looks amazing on my gold series 4! The connectors don't match the color of my watch at all. The watch is a muted pink gold. The connectors are a shiny copper toned gold. But the brown embossed leather looks so good with my watch that I don't even mind that much. This watch strap is a bit hard to put on. The instructions aren't super clear either. They should make an instructional video instead. First, you should slide this band onto your watch. Second, you have to push in the sides of the connector to open it up. Third, you should put it on to see about where you want to push in the pin. This watch strap seems to be made for larger wrists. My wrists are only a medium and I'm already on the second to last hole. Fourth, pull on the hinge where the pin is. It will open up. Fifth, slide the strap into the loop and push the pin into the desired hole. Sixth, push down on the sides of the connector until you hear a snap. Seventh, adjust the loops until you have a good fit. You're done! This is a very nice looking strap. The leather is a bit thick and stiff, which can be uncomfortable. It's a good value for the money because it seems like it costs much more than $20.

First of all to all the whiners who says it's too thick / heavy / not small enough for wrist / cumbersome. Yes, it's thick and it's leather! It'll form to your wrist shape soon! It's NOT heavy! And I have small wrist this works fine, unless you are so unhealthy and all you are is bone! And the one guy who thinks this strap is too complicated, your damn brain must be that of a shrimp! Christ.... you zealots shouldn't be given the right to put forth your opinions! ---------- Ok, so on to the review : Like any leather you'll have to break it in a little. Takes just a few days. Size is good from small (healthy human being) to large. The metal clasp is well built and the band itself is quite expensive looking. Everyone that saw me thought that I paid over $200 for the band. The rose gold color is not really rose gold. It's more like darker orange gold which is actually nice. The gold / gold one is a little tacky imho. 2 things I don't like about this. 1. The permanent loop is too close to the edge which makes putting the band a little tougher at time at first. I suspect it'll break eventually. 2. For the price I get the value, but I do wish they'll build the metal part just a tad more sturdier and cut the clasp hole a little cleaner.

Bought and returned within an hour. The buckle side of the band would not attach to the watch. Really a nice looking band but if it will not attach it's no good. I really would rebuy it because it's the type of band I wanted but I'm not going to take a chance and if I were anyone else I would not chance it either. If you get it stuck it stuck in the watch you could be out a watch.

Veramente consigliato con chiusura davvero resistente nonostante la difficoltà delle prime volte Finitura impeccabile

Beautiful strap and fits better and better as it shapes to my wrist.

Ottimo cinturino all’inizio un po’ duro ma col tempo si sagoma bene.. e poi con l’apple Watch ci sta benissimo

It’s not as good as they said. Kept going off nearly fall off my hand. Therefore it did not meet my expectations.

値段の割にしっかりと作られていますね。気に入っています。減点は腕に装着するのに時間がかかるのと、表面仕上げをもう少し光沢仕上げにしてほしいですね。
