Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a gift. Looks great. Started falling off after wearing for 2 weeks. Because it is past 14 days, Best Buy will not stand behind it and exchange or return it. VERY frustrating.

Thought it would be a great band for when I dress up a little bit, but found out that’s a lie. 4th time wearing it the strap broke and my watch fell off my arm and cracked. Absolutely junk and this company should buy me a new watch for spending so much money on this crap only to have it ruin my watch. And the worst part about it was I didn’t hit it on anything or wasn’t even active when the seams gave out. Just walking down the sidewalk.

I choose this product because normally Nomad is known for quality products and stands behind their warranty. After about 4 months of daily use, the watch strap had started to separate. Please see the photo. The strap is constructed with two thin pieces of leather that are wrapped around the attachment and glued together. Most straps constructed this way are reinforced with stitching. Unfortunately, this glue alone is incapable of standing up to daily wear.

This was putshased as a Christmas gift. Looks great and had really good reviews. My husband was very careful not to shower or submerge in water with the band on. 4/2 and the band has broken. Disappointed.

This is more a review of Best Buy. Best Buy sent me a very used and worn watch band. I didn't order an open box either. Brand new, full price, and they send me an obviously used, damaged watch band. Pathetic.

This band failed after approximately 7 weeks of use. It looks like the leather layer is extremely thin and glued onto a woven material. When I first got this band I felt like I had bought something of quality, obviously not the case.

This band’s leather literally broke apart. As of today, I have had the band for only 8 months.

I bought this watch band for my Apple Watch Series 3. It fits perfectly on the Apple Watch, because it’s made to go on that version. It attaches easily to the watch. The band is real leather and looks sharp for dress as well as rugged enough for casual wear. The latch is black metal and holds the band in place on your wrist as snug as you like. I wear the band at work and also while working out in the fitness center...and even working in the yard. It handles the rough treatment and continues to look sharp.

I was hesitant to pay this price for a watch band when hundreds are available for bargain basement prices through online retailers, but after examining all my options, and even purchasing one, I decided that this would be worth chancing the relative high price of this band. I love the color of this band against my cafe latte skin. Even though the black lugs don’t match the space gray body of the watch, they match the black screen and black silicone wedding ring I wear. The second band that helps hold the excess strap in place is adjustable. It’s also larger than the fixed band. This makes for a slightly unpleasant aesthetic, but not so much as to be a deal breaker. It does seem unnecessary if you use the first or second hole, but you can probably cut it off at that point. The leather is pliable out of the box, creating a better fit around my wrist than the stiff out of the box, loosen over time alternatives. This pliability doesn’t seem to make the band more susceptible to breakage than the stiffer alternative I tried before this purchase.

The band is made from quality material and looks very rich. It does scratch easy, but its made of leather so that's to be expected. The black accents compliment the aluminum case of the watch well.

Very attractive and comfortable to wear daily. It scratches easily is the only gripe.

Great leather watch band. I’ve used several of these over my Apple Watch years. Good looking and strong

This band was everything I expected. The quality is outstanding and it is comfortable to wear. It's stylish and works as a great alternative to the sport band that came with the watch. The price was a little steep for me but the quality was well worth it!

The Salesman at Best Buy recommended the Nomad leather to me. I'm very impressed by the quality of the band. It is very comfortable and keeps the Apple Watch properly positioned on your wrist. Also, it looks on your wrist.

A clean modern leather streap that's stylish, comfortable and feels very premium. The black hardware is not a perfect match for space gray, but it looks quit nice!

Amazing color and fit. I work in a very rugged profession (firefighter) and this is a very durable and comfortable band for the Apple Watch. Would def recommend to anyone wanting style and durability!

I did a lot of research on straps for the Apple Watch shortly after buying one. A lot of good things were said about Nomad as a brand in general, but what drew me to this particular strap were the lugs. I'm not a fan of the thin one that most straps have, and the look of the watch with this one attached is very unique. It almost doesn't even look like an Apple Watch most of the time, and I've gotten many compliments on it. I do wish the lugs were a perfect match for the body of the Watch, but it matches nicely with the black screen, and the black clasp. It doesn't look out of place. The leather itself is fantastic quality, and since I purchased this a few months ago, it has acquired a nice level of custom wear. I couldn't be happier with this strap.

I love having different options for my Apple Watch band. This dark brown is perfect during the work week when I am wearing my brown dress shoes and brown belt, it matches perfect :) It is durable and feels great on my wrist!

Got this band about 2 weeks ago. I really like the rubber band that comes with the apple watch but it's not the flashiest so I upgraded to this for use when I'm not working out. Really love it so far. Leather seems well made and I love the color. I got the brown leather with black hardware and it looks great on the space grey Series 1 Apple watch. I would recommend trying it on in the store just to make sure it fits you correctly because like most leather band watches, it has notches in the band and you may or may not be in between sizes which can be somewhat annoying. You could easily create a new one if you wanted. Luckily this thing fit me well. Feels great on my wrist and seems like it will hold up for a long time!

This band is made with great craftsmanship and fits my Apple watch perfectly. The color is true to what the picture depicts. Solid construction with little show of wear and tear from daily usage
