Very nice genuine leather watch band

This Insignia Leather Band for Apple Watch in Chestnut, is for the 38, 40, and 41 mm watches only. It will not fit the larger watches. It will fit the SE model.
Design: This leather band is made of genuine leather. It is brown in color with white stitching. The buckles are silver in color. The leather band is very nice looking. It’s both sporty and has a touch of elegance too. You can wear it with an array of outfits: jeans and tshirt, business casual, just to name a couple.
Fit: This Insignia leather band is adjustable. It comes with two strap holders on it, one of which is very close to the buckle, and the other further away. I think that the one that is closest to the buckle is a little too close. It was a tiny bit difficult to get the strap in the first couple of times. The leather is quite stiff, but that is expected from a genuine leather band. I think it would be better if it were a softer leather than it is. I still like it and wear it, I just prefer a softer leather. It fits very well and doesn’t slip off or dangle. It stays where you put it.
Pros: very nice looking, gets a lot of compliments, easy to put on and take off of the watch, and your wrist
Cons: stiff
Summary: I would buy it and I do recommend it.

I really miss my old leather band analog watches. This watch band by Insignia gives that same sense of nostalgia for me, and how it matches well with the Apple Watch. I have a Series 7, 41mm in rose gold and this watch band is a great accessory to an already enjoyable look/feel watch. Even though it is a watch band, my initial impressions have been very positive for the following reasons:
Aesthetically, this is a very wonderful looking watch band. The band is a medium brown, genuine leather with light brown stitching. The quality of the build is really amazing. It looks smooth and not cheap at all. The leather doesn't scratch easily and so far, after a week of wearing it, still appears to be new. The stitching is very precise and no nicks at all or excess fabric hanging out. The buckle is oval in design, a nice departure from the rectangular ones I am accustomed to with newer bands. The buckle holds well in the band notch, doesn't appear that it will fall out easily. They also included two loops for the excess band.
What I did not like is the first of the two loops is stationary, so only the farthest one is adjustable. It makes sliding in the band a little of a challenge in maneuvering it in place. Secondly, I have thin wrists and the buckle goes all the way to the second notch. leaving several empty notches right until the end. They could've have not have 2-3 notches to that end.
Overall, this is a very nice watch band that would look good on any of the Apple Watch colors. It feels amazing, soft and comfortable, and easy to install.

Having tried several watch bands for my 41mm Apple watch, this one has won me over and become my favorite.
First, the unboxing – as soon as I opened the package, the smell of authentic leather hit my nose. It was a little tricky getting it out of the case because it came so securely attached, but that seems to be standard for Apple watch bands.
The band itself looks well-made with sturdy, lovely stitching. It contains two loops to keep the leftover strap in place, one is a fixed loop and the other is a free loop. The fixed loop somewhat annoys me because of how close it is to the buckle. It makes putting it on slower as I struggle to bend it into place. It also worries me that the band may get wrinkled faster due to this, but only time will tell. So far, no creases or wrinkles have formed. I also understand its placement there, it is the only way to catch the leftover strap when using the last adjustment hole. There are nine adjustment holes in total, which allow for it to fit a variety of wrist sizes.
The band itself is so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and I feel it really elevates the look of the watch. It doesn’t look as techy as wearing a silicone band, rather it looks like I am wearing analog. My favorite part, though, is the feel of it. It does not stick to my skin when I get sweaty or when I accidentally wet my wrists during handwashing. The suede-like backside is so soft to the touch and makes wearing it remarkably comfortable that I forget I am wearing it at all. If I begin to wear my watch so sleep again, I am going to be using this band because of the comfort level.
I think this band is great for anyone who prefers to wear natural material, wants something comfortable, or just prefers the look of analog watches. This leather band has met and exceeded all of my expectations.

I recently changed my Apple band watch for the Insignia™ - Genuine Leather Band for Apple Watch.
My favorite part is the look. It reminds me of having a traditional watch. It is my high tech gadget, mixed with the more classic leather touch and I love leather!
It has nice neutral color that goes well with any of my outfits.
For an active person like me, this band has worked better than the Velcro type one that came with my watch. It's easier to keep clean and looking in good shape than the original.
I work all day, go to the gym in the afternoon, do housework or gardening in the weekend. I wanted something that I don't need to change regularly, that I can wear for multiple activities and still have a watch that looks great.
While, I haven't had a chance to wear it for super long, I haven't noticed any quality issues with the leather. So it appears like it will hold up for awhile.
The only detail that I wish was different is that for my wrist, it would be better if it would have had more holes to adjust the band. I had to make an additional two holes to create a good fit.

I have a new Apple Watch 10. 42 m and had to replace all the bands that went to my 46 mm Apple Watch. I have the leather band before and it was excellent quality performed well and didn’t get gross when it got wet so I was more than excited to find this on sale to go with my new watch. If you’re thinking about it, get it.

I had hoped this band would be everything the reviews had indicated ~ it was actually more!! Fits perfect to the 41mm watch. The Chestnut color is spot on. Liked it so much bought it in a different color. Only suggested comment ~ if you have small wrist you have to use the last hole.

Stylish and Comfortable - Almost Perfect

After wearing the Insignia Genuine Leather Band for my Apple Watch for several weeks, I must say it's quite good for its price range. The chestnut color is rich and elegant, adding a touch of sophistication to my everyday wear. The genuine leather feels high-quality, light, and comfortable to wear all day. It was a bit stiff at first, but it broke in easily after a few wears. Installation was a breeze, and the connectors felt secure.
The band fits perfectly on my 41mm watch, and I appreciate the two loops: one fixed and one adjustable, with the fixed loop in a great position. However, the adjustable loop tends to come loose and doesn't stay in place when I'm moving. Additionally, I wish the prong on the buckle was a bit longer, as it sometimes comes unlatched. While the band itself doesn't move despite this, it can be a bit annoying.
I've been using the included Apple Watch sports band and have tried other fabric bands, but they weren't as comfortable as the Insignia leather band. Despite these minor issues, it's a good, genuine leather band for the price, and I've gravitated toward it for everyday wear. The band offers a balance of style and functionality that suits my needs well. If you're looking for an affordable and stylish upgrade for your Apple Watch, the Insignia Genuine Leather Band is a solid choice.
