The watch band look good and feels comfortable. The color is uniform, but turns blackish green if water is splashed onto it, and will turn back to the normal color when dried.

Smart Looking Dress Band for Apple Watch Ultra

This is a review for the Insignia Genuine Leather Band for the Apple Watch. I am using this on my Apple Watch Ultra II, which has a 49mm band. According to the box this band will work on 42/44/45 and 49mm bands on all series of Apple Watches. I only have the Watch Ultra 2 at my home, so that's all I could test.
-= In the Box =-
In the box is the tan/borwn leather band. It comes in two pieces, as you would expect.
-= First Impressions =-
The quality is much better than I expected. This is a real leather band and feels like nice, quality leather. The reverse side of the leather has a nice suede feel. The clasp is real metal and as an Apple-esque round/curved design. There's no Insignia branding on the outer strap, so if you don't want people to know you're wearing an Insignia strap there is no way for them to know unless they remove your watch and look at inside of the strap. I like the stitching on the edges of the strap, it makes it look much more expensive and premium.
-= What's Good =-
The Insignia Apple Watch band is comfortable and really dresses up the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It slides in and connects with a satisfying "click" and feels as tight and secure as an original Apple product. I have a narrow wrist and it fits perfectly with a nice amount of size adjustment. According to the box, the Insignia will fit a band from 5-9.5".
-= What's Not So Good =-
There's nothing really to fault. I could point out you shouldn't wear it in water, but that's true for any leather strap. This is one of those rare occasions when I have no issues or concerns.
-= Final Thoughts =-
The Insignia watch strap is beautiful, looks premium, and is a nice upgrade for your Apple Watch. If you want to dress up your Apple Watch, this is good buy. Recommended.

Fantastic Budget Friendly Classy Band

The Insignia leather band for Apple Watch is a great deal if you are in the market for a nice and professional looking band that doesn’t break the bank. The leather itself feels surprisingly quality and looks fantastic. I’ve had other Insignia brand bands in the past and the connectors have felt a little cheap whereas the connectors on this band feel solid and not likely to break easily. They also fit very well, where some of the cheaper bands I’ve bought jostle around in the watch body, this is solid and is even polished on the side of the connectors to make it look a little classier. One thing I’ve noticed with new bands, especially ones on the cheaper side, stink to high heaven out the box. Not this one! I did not have to air it out a couple days before putting it on. It’s a great price for a quality band, it’s an easy recommendation for any looking for a professional watch band at a cheaper price.
Pros:
Leather feels quality and looks great
Better quality connectors then my other insignia bands
Doesn’t smell bad out the box!
Great price

I have a series 7 apple watch 45mm and I have had the same apple band since I got the watch. I never felt the need to change it but I have to say I really feel the difference with my new band. The band feels and smells like genuine leather, because that what it is, so I know its durable.
It has really elevated the look of my watch. It feels really smooth on my wrist. I feel more confident wearing it to more elegant events. The band is comfortable and it also has two more slits than the apple band which gives more sizes in the adjustable strap. The color I got was Chestnut and it looks beautiful and elegant.
This leather band is compatible with apple watch 42, 44, 45, and 49mm so basically all series. Because of the extra slits, it fits wrists from 5 to 9.5 in. You attach it just like the regular apple band so theres no hassle. I am extremely satisfied with this product which will become my new daily accessory.
For the quality, appearance and reliability, Insignia brand is offering a high quality product with a very affordable price, didn't t need to look for expensive brands.

The Insignia leather band for the Apple Watch is a product that should be reimagined before it makes its way to the showroom floor. Despite the use of genuine leather, the material lacks a premium feel and doesn't have the characteristic 'leather' scent. The leather quality doesn't align with expectations, particularly given the choice of stainless steel connectors.
The connectors seem to be tailored specifically for the silver stainless steel model. Why? You're limiting its appeal. A brushed aluminum connector would have provided more flexibility, potentially making it suitable for pairing with but the more popular aluminum models as well as the premium Apple Watch Ultra. If this band is aimed at the "Stainless Steel" market, it should feature better leather that complements higher-quality watch models.
Moreover, the packaging is disappointing—bland and generic. Developing a cohesive house brand with a fashion-forward design could better position their products. Potential brand names like "Penn Collection," "7601 Couture," "Richfield Design," or "Penn23" could help create a more appealing identity than to use the same brand as the 19" LCD TV I bought for my mom's kitchen 20 years ago.
For Insignia to compete, it should refine the leather quality, improve packaging, and offer connectors that appeal to a broader range of models. With the right adjustments, this band could better resonate with its target market.

Perfect for Dressier Styles

I like to have an assortment of watch bands in my collection so I have a band for any occasion. Even though I like to have a variety if it is not comfortable I do not keep it. This Insignia Genuine leather band for Apple band is a keeper. This Band is perfect for my days when I want to go dressier. It is perfect for my husband to wear with a suit for church, funeral or date nights. It is unisex so I can wear it as well. I like it for wearing when I wear jeans. It transforms my watch into more than just a basic watch. It is both attractive and comfortable. I have small arms and my husband has large arms. The watch is comfortable on both. It reminds me of my watch bands from pre-digital watch era.
The leather is soft to touch and high quality. The buckle is not made cheap. It feels comfortable on skin. It is easy to open and close. It easily attaches to my watch and stays in place. This band is a perfect addition to my collection. I use it on Apple Watch 44m for a perfect fit. As a 100 percent leather band it has no stretch.

The material is durable. You would need to care for it if heavily used, as any leathery material. Otherwise it can get smelly.
