Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first thought after removing the watch from its retail packaging was "Is this really leather?" The band felt like thick cardboard and I had to double check the box to see if I was looking at the actual band or just a cardboard insert! I decided to go ahead and install the band on my watch to check it out. The band slid easily into the proprietary Apple plug - nice tight fit. Although the feel of the band leaves a bit to be desired, the overall look is handsome. You can see the attention to detail in the clasp as well as the metal connector that attaches to the watch. The watch band is also a little small for my wrist...the stock Apple Sport band had plenty of room to adjust but with this band I only have 3 remaining holes for adjustment (see pic). Overall I feel like I overpaid for this product at $58.56. This would be a good value at around the $30 price mark in my opinion. This is to be expected considering the lack of 3rd party options right now as the watch is fairly new to the market.

Watch band looks nice, seems durable so far, but only worn off and on for a month. Metal ends that slide into watch don't fit as snug as the Apple Watch band does but seems to work fine. Watch ends are not polished, but look fine with polished stainless watch. Know some reviews have mentioned loose screws, but haven't seen yet or probably haven't worn long enough.

Very disappointing. Poor leather quality. Not a good look.

I was looking for a replacement band and didn't want to spend a ton of money for it, $60 for a watch band seemed a little excessive! When I found this one, I thought it would be too good to be true, but grabbed it anyway. What I found was a really good (but not perfect) band that looks good and adds a different look to my Apple Watch. The band is wearing a little faster than I think it should but considering the price I'm still happy with it!

This is a nice additional band for my apple watch. It fits well and is easy to interchange with the watch. The band is made of leather, is not too stiff and looks nice. The magnetic link works well and fits without a problem - at least in the same way as the original one. The color of the link matches the aluminum cases, not my steel watch case... but I can liv with that.

I wanted it just so that I could have a band that made it look like a regular watch. It has the beautiful look I want and make it look better for casual occasions. Only missing a star cause it does leave lines in the band taking it off and putting it back on cause the loop is so close to the buckle.

I was looking for a replacement band for my Apple Watch Sport and this is great. Hardware matches and a better deal than the $150 Apple is charging for their leather replacement band. Makes the sport version look a lot more expensive and have had many comments on it already!

The band itself gets 5 stars, but in my opinion it is too expensive so I took off one star. It fits perfectly in the Apple Watch unlike other 3rd party bands I have tried and the leather is comfortable. Also, the color of the aluminum does not match the color of the Apple Watch Sport, it is a shade or two darker. But it at least is a matte finish, most other 3rd party bands have a shiny finish to match the stainless steel watch. Overall, a few bucks too expensive but a nice quality band compared to other 3rd party options out there.

The Case Mate Band for Apple Watch has the perfect balance and comfortable fit that outdoes most other 3rd party straps. Classic style buckle, smooth leather, produces a unique fit for everyday wear. Solid attachments and ease of use when removing or attaching to the Apple Watch.

This band is awesome... Love the connection... Looks great with my Apple Watch- stainless steel.... I do recommend over all the cheap bands I see on Amazon. Quality is good.. Leather could be a bit more genuine but overal looks great and feels good

Bought this to replace the sport band on my Watch Sport Gold/Midnight Blue. The black leather and the gold aluminum on the watch go PERFECTLY together. Gives it a very very premium look and feel. I also find that it doesn't feel as constricting as the sport bands do.

After 3 months of light use my "Genuine Leather" Case-Mate watch band is peeling/flaking on the exterior of the band. I've owned quite a few leather watch bands and have never seen anything like it. I believe that the Case-Mate leather is not 100% genuine but rather a composite leather material (meaning it is leather mixed with other materials). The peeling issue is not due to any abrasion or damage to the band from my use (I take my Apple Watch off when I need to get my hands dirty or perform any task that could damage it). Besides the cosmetic issue, the band is still intact and the watch band adapters have held up well. Overall I'm disappointed with this purchase, especially considering the price. Buyer beware!

I really love how this can dress you Apple Watch Sport up for the right occasion. Only bad thing to say is the leather does feel a little cheap and I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. But for $100 less than the apple brand leather it's a nice buy. I prefer my sport band but when I want to dress up and make the watch look a little bit nicer this is the way to go!

A solid Watch band. Stylish and looks more expensive than it is. My only gripe relates to the connection to the watch. It's a little more loose than the actual Apple brand bands, but so far that hasn't caused any issues.

This wrist band looks good but wrinkles very easily. The latches attach to the watch firmly but have to be worked considerably more than Apple bands to fit into the watch.

This strap isn't too bad! It had the exact look I was going for and feels super comfortable the only thing I wasn't too fond of was that the strap has begun to crack and peel it's nothing major But still didn't take long for that to start happening overall I'd give it 7/10

This is a quality band. I wanted something different from my Milanese band and this was it. No complaints with the fit and feel.

I bought this to use with my Apple Sport Watch and overall I am happy with it. It seems to be pretty well made and it looks great. At $49 it is a good option when compared to the $150+ Apple branded bands.

This band is perfect to wear on a night out. It's color matches almost any outfit. Not meant for everyday use.

I have been wanting a leather band for my apple watch for months. I refuse to spend $150 for Apple's band. Fortunately I found this band while browsing in my local BB. The band is very comfortable and really makes the watch look a lot more formal.
