    High Quality at an Affordable Price

    I purchased the Nomad band because I'd been wanting a nice leather band for my Apple Watch for awhile. I had a hard time swallowing the price of bands but decided to bite the bullet and get one. I had some rewards certificates to help offset the cost so I went to the store on a mission! I looked around and made my selection and decided to check out the clearance section. To my surprise, there was an open box of exactly what I was looking for that appeared to be unworn. Because of the packaging, It was easy to try it on the watch to make sure there were no issues since it was open box. I'm somewhat of a leather snob so I knew Howween leather is good stuff and it's made right here in the good ole USA in Chicago. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The fit is great and the band is picking up great character from wearing it. Also of note, especially if you're a picky person. The lugs are satin finished vs. the matte of the aluminum Watch. Though it's not really noticeable, from admirers far away, it can be noticed up close though not that big of a deal, at least to me. Also of note that this will and is intended (in my opinion) to show marks and scuffs as you wear it. If you want something that will look brand new for a long time, this is not for you. At full price this is a good buy compared to what you get from OEM Apple products but I almost felt guilty after handing over $11 cash after using my rewards cert and getting the discount for it being open box.

    If you're looking for a casual replacement band for your FitBit, this is a great option. I've had the band for a few months now and it is wearing very well, the leather has darkened and softened and the thick stitches are a nice touch.

    Even though I bought this strap but I though maybe it's gonna fad a some days and I have to be very careful with water and continues use. Tell you what since I have bought this strap, I did not change it back to other strap cuz this is absolutely like new after almost 2 months of day and night use.

    Beautiful band, but locking latch seems flimsy

    I really love the way this band looks, but the tab that locks the strap to the watch face can easily become reshaped or otherwise deformed to where yoy cant easily remove or attach it if you jeed to seap bands. I have another banf i like to use when I work out and I hate that I have to be very cautious about temoving this leather band because the latching mechanism seems poorly done. I am not sire how much longer i can hse it and ive only changed bands a handful of times and didnt think I applied unneccesaryce. Still, it looks great.

    Very happy with this purchase! The original silicone Apple Watch band irritated my wrist causing itching and discoloration. Thanks to this purchase I am back to wearing my watch for all the reasons I bought it.

    This is a great Apple Watch band that has a snug fit like my bands from Apple itself. I paid way less for this one rather than the one from Apple.

    Looks Great, Falls apart quickly

    I bought this band on September 10th, 2022 and today is November 8th, 2022. This watch band originally looked amazing and gave a style of "class" for the apple watch with a good color leather and a timeless design. My issue is that within the first month of holding it, the tiny strap to hold excess strap down began tearing as shown in the picture. Along with that, the loop that wraps around the bar that allows it to connect with the watch began to heavily tear (refer to pictures). I don't do anything rigorous with the watch besides sleep with it on from time to time? There's been a few times I forgot to swap the band before going to the gym

    Breaking down in less than a year

    I have had this watch for less than a year. Glue was used in parts of this item in lieu of quality stitching one should expect from a quality leather accessory. This glue has now broken down and the strap is coming apart. This strap also is very susceptible to odor. Baking soda and washing it with soap and water did not help. Warranty is only 90 days, that should be an indication as to the confidence the manufacturer has in the quality of their product.
