Uncomfortabke and poor quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the loops isnt moveable so if you tighten it, it digs into your wrist. You cant slide the loop down out of the way. Says its Horween Leather but my wallet is Horween and this watch band felt like plastic. Didnt even feel like leather. I have a nomad case and the case feels so much better. Dont recommend this. I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLooks Good... Feels Cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this band in brown and gray because it really looked good in the store. It still looks good... but - it feels cheap. With better leather , this band would be a winner.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The band began coming apart after the third time I wore it. I liked the color and it appeared to be a great band, but not well made.

Doesn’t hold up well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great looking band unfortunately I noticed many marks after a couple days of use. I didn’t always wear the leather band but it quickly started to get messed up.

Posted .Hi Mike,
Sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the aging process of your strap! Leather is a natural material and is therefore subject to change over time with daily use and wear. At Nomad, we consider changes in the color and texture not as a flaw, but inherent to the elegance of the leather. With continued use, these scratches will buff out and as your strap develops more of a patina, it will become less susceptible to these scratches. You can also try using a soft cloth to buff out the scratches on your leather strap. If you find that you're still unhappy with your strap, please shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will help get this issue resolved for you.
Thank you,
Chloe, Nomad Customer Support

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Besides the smell of Leather, not a competitive value in overall quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friendExpensive cheaply made
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The purchase price for this band for me was $65.99. I bought it in August 2017 and is now on usable the leather is glued together with and has come apart the bands from the park. I emailed nomad about getting a replacement two months ago through their warranty application, and they haven’t responded since their first email suggesting about the warranty application. I would not recommend buying his band again to anyone.

Posted .Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We experienced a bug with our warranty application forms a few months ago where we stopped receiving them altogether for a short time. Maybe your application was one of the ones affected by this bug. We're happy to replace this strap for you! The leather that is glued together on this strap is designed so that it does not come apart easily. It sounds like you may have received a defective strap that was not glued correctly. If you'd like to still get a replacement, please send an email over to [email protected] and I'll be sure to flag your ticket for them once I see it. Thank you!
Loosing the color
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This strap was looking good at the time of purchased ,after a few days it lost the color and looked old and uncolored, not a good buy!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth it

No, I would not recommend this to a friendLooks Nice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the look of this band but I did not find it comfortable. I'd say it would be great for very large wrists.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor and Incorrect Condition
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the product from open box in the highest available condition, which was stated as open box with no visual or mechanical wear. When the product arrived it had numerous scuffs and threading and I was forced to return it.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not worth the $50 price tag and the material feels cheap. I returned it and would not recommend it.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Leather appeared cheap and lacked good quality. Returned the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCareful of the material
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Functional watch band, but be careful of the material. I got a bad rash after wearing it for several weeks. When I contacted Nomad they said "their leather is untreated" and refused to offer any assistance/support because I purchased it at Best Buy. It was used by that point, so I couldn't return it. Not great customer service, and not a great product.

Posted .Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with our Leather Strap! It is rare, but I do hear of customers having a reaction to our leather straps every so often. The leather that we use is produced and vegetable tanned at Horween in Chicago. We use the Essex tannage, and more info on that can be found here: https://www.horween.com/articles. The Essex tannage is unique for its high oil content, which could possibly be the source of irritation for you. I do apologize for your first customer service experience with us. We are happy to work with Best Buy customers and issue replacements for Best Buy purchases that are under warranty. I would like to make this right and reach a resolution with you. Please send me an email at [email protected].
Thank you,
Chloe

Posted .Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that the leather on your Nomad strap is peeling! Definitely not supposed to happen, so it sounds like you may have received a defective unit.
