Perfect Blend of Luxury, Comfort and Practicality
This "hybrid" Apple watch band is made of genuine leather. You can see, feel and even smell its beauty. But all that real leather luxury is combined with the practicality and comfort of a sport band. The result is one of my new favorite Apple watch bands.It's a vintage look that I like a lot, and it exudes quality. The stitching is precise, there are no hanging threads, and it feels almost as smooth as suede. It's as supple as silicone and is made with the finest leather available anywhere. Everyone who sees it wants one! I love it.

The search is over. 5 stars
Finally a comfortable band that makes this feel like a real regular watch. I’ve bought 6 bands since getting my watch at the end of September and this is by far the best of all of them. I have a standard Apple Watch band, a sport/cloth Apple Watch band, a leather band, and a couple of rubber ones with the holes in them that I like. The problem with those and the standard Apple band is that the extra length at the end tucks into the band forcing the watch face to be in an off-center position.This band is flexible, soft, comfortable and wide enough to look good. The connections are solid and don't shift or rattle like my leather band. The clasp is like a regular band and works as expected. No weird unique redesign that some other brands try which don’t make sense.I highly recommend this band. Worth the measly $25. This will most likely be the last one I buy for a while. It’s new so can’t really speak to its durability but it seems like it is well made and will hold up to everyday use.

I wear it everyday! And wash it, too!
First, this is washable! It is true that if you get this band wet, the water will leave a stain like mark but it easily comes out. I wash it with mild soap (Dr. Bronners) by hand then towel dry. It will need some oil applied on the leather side after it's dry. I use jojoba since I already have it around for skin care. Let the oil sink in for a bit and then wipe off any excess oil. It makes the watch looks brand new with a darker tan and becomes much more flexible.I've been wearing this watch band everyday for the last 7 months and it has held up great. Zero signs of any wear or tear, even after about 5 washes. I do switch it out with my original Apple Sports Loop band when running, biking, etc. I receive a fair amount of compliments about it.

Rivals the comfort of the Sport Loop.
Wow, I was hesitant to go back to a standard (old fashioned) watch band. So much so, that I put the watch bands on backwards. So you don’t make the same mistake, the shorter strap clips in on top of the Apple Watch, and the longer strap on the bottom. The silicone inside the bands really makes all the difference in the world. Great looking leather on the outside and comfy silicone on the inside. It’s a keeper! Looking forward to when they get the 44mm camouflage band in stock!One side note: I had to turn one of the band holders inside out. There is a little stitch holding it together that rubbed my wrist. No big deal but worth noting. You can see it in the last photo.

Love this band
I didn't know what to expect from this band, especially at this good price point. I've been thoroughly pleased. The band is great quality, soft, very lightweight, and I can wear it all day without irritation. The silicon backing (it is a hybrid band) keeps sweat from soaking through; although in fairness, sweat from around the outside of the band still gets the leather wet. It's gotten a little dirty a couple of times, and a little scuffed up, but a quick brushing with a damp (soft) fingernail brush and it looks great again. I'm about to order a second bank in a different color to have some variety.

Best Leather strap for iWatch by far.
Absolutely love this product. The mechanism that attaches to the watch is precise and matches the colour of my aluminium grey case very nicely. The quality of the leather and silicone is excellent and the company has married the two materials very nicely. Overall a premium product at a reasonable price. I think it will last and still look good over time. The best part is the colour of the leather. A deep rich brown that really compliments the watch and makes it look luxurious. Will definitely buy again.

Better than expected, excellent build quality.
This strap is amazing. I was hesitant to get it at first but I’m glad I did. It is very comfortable and elegant looking at the same time. I live in an extremely hot weather ~45+ C and regular leather will usually be drenched in sweat and wears down fast. That is not the case with this strap the inner silicone lining makes a world of difference. You can simply workout in the middle of your shift and change your clothes, wipe the inside of the watch and you are good to go. If you are on the fence I really encourage you to get one.P.S.: I can’t judge the durability just yet but it seems it can handle some clumsiness

Classic look that won't break the bank
The Mifa Leather strap looks great, holds up well (I've been using it for two months before writing this review). Far more reasonable in terms of cost, especially when compared to buying a similar design from Apple. My only regret was that I wished I bought this sooner.6-4-20 Update: Using this same strap after almost a year and it's held up really well. I use it as my daily strap for work and for exercise. Very durable and comfortable to wear.

Very cheap, very thin layer of "leather".
Yeah, it's "acceptable", but I certainly wouldn't use it for a formal occasion. the "leather" is very thin. Basically like a veneer over some cheap rubber strap. Certainly not worth the money I paid, even though it wasn't very much.I purchased a steel band for pretty much the same price that was far superior in both quality and looks.I think with "leather" straps you get what you pay for. You really are better off spending extra and getting something of quality when it comes to leather.Think of those "leather" coats that look like a bin bag. Or "leather" shoes that are anything but. You're better off either just going with synethics, or metal, than wasting your money on cheap so called "leather" straps.It's just one of those materials that looks awful if you scrimp on the cost.My black basic Apple sports band looks more classy.Do yourself a favour, either buy a metal band, or a canvas band, or even a synthetic band, or be prepared to put down the cash and spend over £60 to get a proper "leather" band.Anything below that, is gonna look cheap and nasty. And, to be honest. Fake.

Excellent quality and comfort
I just recently moved back to apple after years away from them so i had to replace my watch i opted for a series 3 as it represented better value but couldn't deal with the rubber style straps any longer so i decided to spend just a little bit more for one that i was hoping would be much better quality, This is that strap! the quality is superb so far and it's extremely comfortable to wear not only that but it makes my watch look much more expensive. I'm not normally a fan of colours like this i would normally opt for a black strap but i'm glad i went for this one it looks great especially with my rugged armour case the watch looks totaly different and i feel like i paid twice the price of what i actually did. Recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality strap.

A very good strap
Ok , only had it two days but already very happy. I’ve no idea how it will perform wear and tear but right now, it’s rather good.It is long enough. I have thick wrists, but there are three holes the other side of the fastener when I fit it, and most straps, I’m on the last hole.It feels very comfortable. My original Apple plastic strap had been the most comfortable I had, but this is just as good and if it has the same properties, I’ll be very happy.It looks nice. It is a sport strap that with the outer leather looks more like a dress watch. One strap for all occasions.

Very nice strap.
Ok so the item arrived in good packaging, and on time. On first glance it’s a nice strap, quite comfortable to wear and long enough for my wrist, but under a bit more scrutiny it doesn’t look as rugged as the picture suggests, to me it looks too new if it makes any sense, and it’s darker than the picture also the camouflage pattern isn’t identical to the picture. But it’s a very good strap.

Excellent quality strap.
This is the second strap I have bought as unfortunately I spilt something on the first one which discoloured the leather. My fault entirely. I really like the overall look, the quality of the materials and the comfort. It’s a little thicker than most but I like that.Highly recommend and although there are cheaper ones out there the quality of these is second to none.
